American Modernism
American modernism is a trend of philosophical thoughts arising from the widespread changes in culture and society in the age of modernity. The artistic and cultural movement in the United States began at the turn of the 20th century, with a core period between World War I and World War II.
American modernist design and architecture enabled people to lead a modern life. Work and family life changed radically and rapidly due to the economic upswing during the 1920s. This collection is Homage to the great disruptive period of our life and culture and to a person who embodied this: Architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Architecture had to find a new way to express its individuality, and this tension created masterful works of art. At times, its simplicity struck a chord with the public, and here you will find all the designs representing American modernism.
If your home follows a modern theme, you can choose these film designs for your modern exterior doors. Take your pick, and we will ensure that your modern glass door film design looks just the way you want and adds aesthetic value to your modern glass exterior door.
AM 100 M - aka MASTER
The first design of this modern door film collection is called MASTER, as a tribute to the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. We took some of his geometries for this collection and then re-designed them to make sense as decorative window film.
Because of their geometries, these designs can be prepared in various ways, in various levels of white or colored frost. The background can be a clear frost, like in the image shown here, or it can be done in glass texture (new). We are open to any modifications and will do them without extra charges.

AM 200 M - aka Falling Water
Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania. It is built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run. After its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's house "most beautiful job".
This design is a stylized version of a waterfall. It is done with different levels of white frost and a clear frost background, so it does not look monotone; this film is perfect for those who love nature. Like all the ones in this collection, this design can also be done with colored frost and glass textures to make it more realistic.

AM 300 M - aka Oak Park
This film resembles a rectangular, boxy design inspired by the architecture of the Unity Temple designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright believed that leaded glass windows were "Light Screens" because they changed the light inside a building.
By using a different tone of white frost and clear frost, we dim and diffuse the light entering from a glass panel. It is the perfect film choice for windows and other entryways. You can get details customized to fit your liking! You can choose the opacity level, and we will adjust it accordingly.

AM 400 M - aka River Forest
The Winslow House, located in River Forest, IL, is of particular importance in the life of Frank Lloyd Wright because it was his first solo commission. Looking back on it in 1936, he described it as "the first 'prairie house.'"
Their most defining characteristic is their emphasis on the horizontal rather than the vertical. In this film design, all the vertical lines are small. Thus, your eyes rest more on the larger horizontal elements. Our latest technology helps us stand out from our competitors in giving them nothing but the best.

AM 500 M - aka Earth Bound
This modern glass exterior door film design emphasizes one of the main pillars of Prairie Style's home: the connection to the soil and the ground. We created this stylized arrow to express our connection to Mother Earth.
It comes with clear frost background with different tones of white frost for variety. The art is a reminder of nature, and with this adaptation, we aim to remind you of the wonders of mother Earth and how we must connect with it in our day-to-day lives.

AM 600 M - aka Bungalow
Bungalows are often one-story houses, although they often also include an additional half-story, usually with a sloped roof. Bungalows tend to occupy a larger area of land than their multi-story counterparts; since they don't extend upwards. This design signifies the expansion of the center.
It has clear frost background with 1/8" white frost lines. If you feel the film needs customizations that fit your liking, then you can contact us today, or you can come up with your inspirations, and we will make them for you!

AM 700 M - aka Robie
The Frederick C. Robie House is a U.S. National Historic Landmark in Hyde Park (Chicago, Illinois). Built between 1909 and 1910, the building was designed as a single-family home by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This film design is inspired by the floors and roofs of the house and the way they "play" together. It has a clear frost background and different white frost levels for contrast are great choices for a modern glass front door.
AM 800 M - aka Usonia
"Usonian" usually refers to a group of approximately 60 middle-income family homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright beginning in 1934 with the Willey House. They are often L-shaped to fit around a garden terrace.
They are characterized by native materials; flat roofs and large cantilevered overhangs; natural lighting; and radiant-floor heating. Another distinctive feature is that they typically have little exposure to the front/'public' side, while the rear/'private' sides are completely open to the outside to connect to nature. This film design is inspired by that and represents this connection between the outside and the inside, rendered using different tones of white frost.

AM 900 M - Imperial
After traveling to Japan in 1905, Wright developed a keen interest in Japanese art and architecture. He was, therefore, keen to win the bid to design The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which would replace the original wooden building that Yuzuru Watanabe completed in 1880.
The Imperial Hotel was then dismantled in 1968. This film represents the connection between East and West and the tensions that exist due to different cultures and ways of living. The three central arrows pointing down are a tribute to the three roofs of the building and the many concrete relief in the interior walls. Want some changes? We are always there to help.

AM 1000 M - aka Raising
What is truly connected to the Earth will rise to heaven. This modern film is a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright's uplifting work and the idea that we must first connect to Earth if we want to rise. As babies, we stumble on floors, and little by little, we rise.
It uses clear as well as different white frosts. This design has a high level of privacy due to the high opacity on the top because of the white frost.

AM 1100 M - aka Suntop
Suntop Homes is a collection of four residences designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939. They are considered a hidden architectural gem. The Architect commissioned a 3 story design that was a departure from his Prairie Style. In the end, only a few were built.
This design represented the Architect's tension when he had to change his design philosophy. The vertical triangles facing down are a nod to the 3 story homes, while the arrows on the right and left pointing toward the center are a nod to the tension between the Architect and the builder, Otto Tod Mallery of Tod Company.

AM 1200 M - aka Urban
Frank Lloyd Wright believed in creating environments that were both functional and humane. Focusing on how the building’s appearance would connect with and enrich the lives of those inside it. His organic design philosophy states that architecture holds a relationship with its time and place.
A house had to blend beautifully into their surroundings, both drawing inspiration from and contributing to the setting. This design divided in three main areas signifies the centricity of humans and their influence on nature as wells as being influenced by nature and how it is all interconnected. Clear frost background with one tone white frost and minimal clear lines.
