ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN

(PROJECT CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION)

A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE ALONG THE HURON RIVER

THE CONCEPT FOR THIS HOUSE STARTED AS A “MALIBU BEACH HOUSE IN THE MICHIGAN WOODS”. THE HOUSE IS SITUATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE STEEP SLOPE DOWN TO THE RIVER. THE HOUSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO BUILDINGS. THE FIRST CONSISTS OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE, A BEDROOM/OFFICE, BATHROOM, AND THE GARAGE. CONNECTED TO THAT, VIA A BRIDGE, IS THE MAIN HOUSE. THE CONNECTION OCCURS AT THE MAIN LEVEL (LIVING/DINING AND KITCHEN) WITH SMALLER ROOMS ON THE TWO STORIES BELOW THAT AND A ROOF TERRACE ABOVE THE MAIN LEVEL. BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS IS A SLOPING COURTYARD.
