Bird’s Eye Lakeview
This modern residence showcases rustic natural materials with large intersecting volumes. Accessible from the upper floor, the rooftop deck provide amazing views of Lake Michigan.
Expansive glass doors frame views of the ravine, while warm wood details and sculptural elements, like the floating stair wrapped in vertical slats, bring texture and balance to the modern form.

Anchored by locally sourced materials and centered around an infinity pool, this U-shaped home blurs the line between indoors and out.
Windows were strategically placed to maximize daylight and efficiency. Reflected light deepens the interior brightness, while a rear light shelf shades summer sun and captures winter warmth. A planned battery backup will store excess power, extending the home’s energy independence beyond daylight hours.
