Reflected wave patterns dance on the low sloped upper wood ceiling while presenting a modest low-profile street parti. The side entry garage dissolves into a trellised entry progression, creating movement through the light and shadows. The main level entry, kitchen, dining, living, large bedroom and bath, laundry, stair, elevator, half bath and garage are anchored by and pinwheel off the central fireplace. |

2009
Seeking the collective dream of a multigenerational family, this universally designed home responds to the similarities and differences inherent between generations. Sited on the Southeastern shore of Magician Lake, a sand-bottomed pristine lake in southwestern Michigan, this home responds to the owner’s program by creating levels and wings around a central gathering place where panoramic views are enhanced by the homes diagonal orientation engaging multiple views of the water.
