In 1949, Robert and Rae Levin worked with Frank Lloyd Wright to build a house in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was the first house to be built in Parkwyn Village, a planned community of Usonian Houses. Originally the lots were going to be circular, but the plan changed when the Federal Housing Administration would not grant approval. The finished house was constructed of textile blocks, big windows and skylights, built in furniture, and a mix of shallow and grand sloping ceilings. Wright designed the house to be connected closely to nature. According to the Levins the difficulties of living there included the leaking roof and limited storage space.
