Could this be a Van Fossen?

Not with a construction date of 1991, I think. But it shows both Wrightian detail in the eaves, and a retro-modern quality overall.

I associate Van Fossen's design with that of J R McDonald, for its Wrightian content along with idiosyncratic moves such as level changes, spacial
complexity and novel material combinations. In this house the tile floor and very simple CMU chimney mass and placement are notable. Van Fossen
might have employed tile for floors and vertical-board siding, but the simple massing and lack of complexity are more orthodox MCM -- as I see it.

I agree. Too prosaic for the likes of Van Fossen.
