Past and present land uses for the site and surrounding area are for the most part agricultural. The site consists of gently rolling terraces and upland and agricultural land. Open fields provide potential parcels for development separated by hedgerows, wooded areas, and drainage pathways. The site has a distinctive irregular shape but can be developed relatively easily, based on the information found in the analysis.

The analysis of slopes and drainages shows topography that is flat to rolling in the valleys with abrupt slopes rising to uplands overlooking the valley. Mud Creek runs the length of the site from east to west, and wetland bogs occur in the east central portion. Floodplains and wetlands constitute a significant portion of the area and foster habitat for a variety of waterfowl. Although somewhat of a constraint for residential development, these features

OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS

Map shows only the eastern half of the site.

## Locational Considerations

The property is located approximately 20 miles northeast of downtown Indianapolis. The primary factor supporting development of this site is its location with respect to Indianapolis and the relatively strong population and household growth projected for the metropolitan area. Because much of the metropolitan area's growth is projected to occur in Hamilton County, the property is well positioned for future residential development. Hamilton

County's schools are among the best in the area. A comprehensive market analysis profiling historical and projected growth in the area was incorporated in the planning.

Access to the property is excellent and commuting times for residents relatively short. The site is bordered by primary collector streets on the north and south and secondary collectors on the east and west. Geist Reservoir, located just east of the site, is one of two reservoirs near Indianapolis offering a full range of water-related activities. The surround-

### Frank Lloyd Wright

The Suntop Homes and Wright's later Cloverleaf Ground Subdivision of 1942 are important attempts to increase the density of a basic suburban housing type, the single-family detached residence. Stylistically and spatially from the same mold as Wright's Usonian houses of this period, Suntop may be thought of as four Usonian houses placed in each quadrant of a cross formed by two perpendicular party walls. The unit in each corner is three floors high; it features ample balcony and terrace space on the upper floors, a carport, double-height living room, private entrance, and a private garden. The idea was to combine four three-bedroom single-family houses while still maintaining the amenities and privacy of the detached single-family residence.

In each unit the living room on the ground floor opens out to the garden. The kitchen and a small dining room occupy the second floor or mezzanine over-looking the double-height living room. The master bedroom and a double-height bathroom are also on the second level. Two small bedrooms are arranged on the third floor, with the remainder of the roof for terrace. The Cloverleaf project—really just a deluxe version of Suntop—has an interior courtyard at the intersection of the party walls, an additional bedroom on the second floor, and another bath on the third floor. The second-floor bath, originally double-height to allow ventilation from the roof, is reduced to one level and vented onto the courtyard. The bedrooms feature balconies on the courtyard side.

FLOOR PLAN

5 Bedrooms • 4 1/2 Baths • Den • Master Sitting Area
Separate Guest Quarters • 2 Car plus 1 Car Garage w/golf cart parking

Elevations and floor plans are artist conceptions and are subject to change without notice.

The architectural traditions of the Craftsman Era bring classic warmth to this fine home. Notice the opportunities for outdoor living: the large covered front porch, a covered wood deck off the living room and an expansive covered patio across the rear of the home. The separate guest quarters (complete with kitchenette!) are an ideal 'au pair' accommodation. The kitchen is designed to keep the family close, with casual seating at the work island, a built-in desk, sunny nook and adjacent family room. For a quick getaway, slip into the master suite, with its windowed sitting alcove and fireplace. This is a home that is both elegant and welcoming, a place where your family can feel completely at home.
