Laporte Villa



Located on the border of Michigan and Indiana near Lake Michigan, in a mixed hardwood forest integrated into the rolling landscape among hanging vines between enormous old trees, is this stunning villa.


Upon arrival, the cantilevered rooms and deckspace allow the visitor to drive under the front room.
The decks lend themselves to the outside on all three floors, including the atrium, and functional roof space for entertaining guests.


Stucco surface exterior, and all wood construction combine to bring out the angles, and stature of the structure.
The interior use of space works together with an open second story loft, clerestory, and other large windows.
The adjoining workshop studio is a very simple and functional structure, incorporating many of the elements of design in the house, on a different scale.
