[4] Two of them, Alma Goetsch and Kathrine Winckler, approached Wright asking him to design a community for them.

[4] The community was to consist of seven houses and a caretaker's cottage surrounding a common farm, orchard, and fish pond.

[3] Although the design of each house varied, they did share common features such as flat roofs, accentuated horizontal lines, and simple massing.

[5] Due to lack of financing, the project collapsed, and only the Goetsch–Winckler House was built[4] on a different site.

[5] Built-ins include the dining room table, a seat by the fireplace, a bar, a desk and bookcase in the workspace, as well as numerous storage spaces.
