PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Slipped into rolling sand dunes within a dense forest of red pine, cedar, and mixed hardwoods that stretch along the northeastern shore of Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula. The main house and separate guest house are connected by a sheltered elevated boardwalk on two adjoining dunes. The faceted glass envelope blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Slender steel columns, bleached interior wood finishes, translucent stained colored stairs, and cabinets tie the buildings together. A long wood roof deck with spectacular views of sunsets over Lake Michigan projects over the edge of a steep dune.
