1919: Project for a workman’s colony of concrete monolith homes (for Frank Lloyd Wright; Racine, Wisconsin) -  The Monoliths anticipated Wright’s precast concrete block homes of the 1920s. Gebhard notes that the “stark stripped-down rectangularity of the geometry, in the details as a well as in the relationship of the volumes, could have been Schindler’s contribution.”

1918: Project for a children’s corner for the Chicago Art Institute

1912-3: Project for a crematorium and chapel (Vienna, Austria)

1916: Project for a new store front on Van Buren Street (for Ottenheimer, Stern, and Reichert; Chicago, Illinois)

1916: Project for a women’s club (Chicago, Illinois) - An experiment in prairie style

1916-7: Project for a log house - Designed in 1916 and finished at Taliesen the following year; intended to be a summer vacation house.

The thin bands of windows at the top reappear in Pueblo Ribera Court.

The design uses a horizontal and vertical four-foot module, something Schindler used, with minor refinements, in most of his later work.

An experiment in Prairie style.

Schindler may have seen Adolf Loos’ log house for the janitor of the Schwarzwald School.

‘The roof of the Log House is flat. For its time this is noteworthy.“ 

’[The clerestory band] is not characteristic of Wright’s domestic work up to this time…" 

Schindler uses clerestories in the Kings Road House in 1921-2. Wright introduces clerestories into his work with the Freeman House in 1924. 

Mark Schindler makes reference to Karnak concerning the inspiration for Schindler’s clerestories; however, this cannot be confirmed.

1916-8: Buena Shore Club House

Schindler: “I was superintending the Elks Club at the time and the office proceeded with my sketches as a basis. It was too much for them—the building having been conceived in three dimensions instead of the usual two. The working plans proved to be an absolute chaos and the contractor threatened to quit the work. Only then was I asked to [take ahold] of the superintending… In this way I was able to save something of the general idea of the building, but was unable to develop the details covered by the contracts and defined by the foundations already in place. The building is a bastard.”

“Building pays tribute to his beloved teacher Otto Wagner as well as Louis Sullivan.”

1919: Project for a residence for J.P. Shampay (for Frank Lloyd Wright; Chicago, Illinois) - Henry-Russel Hitchcock recognized in 1972 (Hitchcock 1972) that the Shampay House had been designed by Schindler

1919: Project for one-room apartments (for Ottenheimer, Stern, and Reichert; Chicago, Illinois)
