Wright felt that the typical church topped by a steeple was inappropriate in the United States and in the twentieth century. For the Unitarian Church he designed near his home at Taliesin, Wright said he "tried to build a building... that expressed the over-all sense of unity. The plan you see is triangular. The roof is triangular and out of this triangulation , or aspiration, you get this expression of reverence without recourse to the steeple. The roof itself, covering all... says what the steeple used to say, but says it with greater reverence, I think, in both form and structure." The plan is composed of two equilateral triangles, set back-to-back. The rear triangle, where the ceiling is at its lowest, contains the entry area, a kitchen and a fireplace. The sanctuary occupies the front triangle, and here the ceiling rapidly rises from both the back and sides. All light enters the sanctuary through the glass wall surrounding the pulpit.
