One of the most stunning moments in the studio is the conference room, otherwise known as the Submarine Room, which is embedded 18 inches below the surface of the pond. Here, Dow met with his clients, immersing them in the idea that nature and architecture are intimately connected. Says McDonald, Photo 3 of 8 in Alden B. Dow: The Mastermind of Midwestern Modernism

One of the most stunning moments in the studio is the conference room, otherwise known as the Submarine Room, which is embedded 18 inches below the surface of the pond. Here, Dow met with his clients, immersing them in the idea that nature and architecture are intimately connected. Says Craig McDonald, director of the Alden B. Dow Home & Studio, "With reflective light shining around the room, the space is relaxing and dynamic. Dow created an environment for his clients to define what a home was."
