Striking Modern Promenades and Walkways

Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, the 1973 Douglas House was one of architect Richard Meier’s first residential commissions. After purchasing the revered archetypal lake house, a retired couple launched into the home’s second renovation in 35 years. Defined by its verticality, the house features an exterior stepped walkway that extends over the trees, connecting the levels.
