Trost Residence One of Trost’s most significant designs was his own home built in 1908 at 1013 West Yandell. He used an adaptation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s “prairie house” design, making the building part of the landscape. His design was made to take advantage of the geographical and climatic features of Midwestern prairies, but it fit well with the southwestern landscapes.A pavilion entrance and balconies also keep sun away from windows. External walls are plastered, and brick is used only on lower parts of the house. Shades of brown on the exterior reflect the arid Southwest.
