Frank Lloyd Wright designed the attached garage to integrate machinery into domestic life.

Evidence

In 1901, Wright gave a speech in which he announced that “a hope has grown stronger with the experience of each year, amounting now to a gradually deepening conviction that in the Machine lies the only future of art and craft—as I believe, a glorious future.” The garage was Wright’s attempt to integrate the car into the ideal of the family, an integration he proposed in 1908, prior to the public availability of Henry Ford’s Model T. Wright removed places in the home designed for socialization, like the front porch and the parlor, along with spaces for storage, like closets, replacing them with an attached garage, central features of Wright’s monuments of architectural history like his Robie House in Chicago. — Grant Bollmer, Katherine Guinness, The Influencer Factory, 196
