The SAMARA House, a distinguished example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian architecture, stands as a cultural landmark in West Lafayette, Indiana. With its iconic grid-based design and triangular site, the house reflects Wright’s innovative approach to functional and accessible design. To honor its legacy while fostering community engagement, the surrounding environment is reimagined as a vibrant garden tailored for children in the neighborhood.

Drawing inspiration from Wright’s geometric principles, the garden design adopts a hexagonal grid, seamlessly extending the house’s spatial logic into the landscape. Pathways integrate harmoniously with surrounding roads, while a thoughtfully designed bridge connects the residential area to the main road, enhancing accessibility. Facilities and plantings within the garden are organized using the hexagonal framework, creating a unified and dynamic outdoor space that blends historical preservation with contemporary community needs.
