Amazing house on Lake Michigan by Desai Chia Architects<\/h3>\n

Discover amazing lake house project on Michigan lake by Desai Chia Architects! Find out the whole story and get amazed by its beauty!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New York firm\u00a0Desai Chia Architects<\/strong>\u00a0has built\u00a0a home on Lake Michigan with\u00a0blackened timber\u00a0walls and a roof that extends out to shelter\u00a0an outdoor seating area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michigan Lake House is located in the state’s Leelanau County, an area known for its crystal clear waters and sand dunes.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/a><\/p>\n

The roof is designed to mirror the rolling countryside, in\u00a0“a playful reference to the vernacular architecture of nearby fishing villages”, said the firm.<\/p>\n

\"Amazing<\/a><\/p>\n

The house is built from\u00a0reclaimed materials\u00a0found on site. Dying ash trees were used for the external cladding.<\/p>\n

A traditional\u00a0Japanese technique called\u00a0shou sugi ban, which involves scorching and blackening the timber, was used to treat the wood so it becomes both weather\u00a0and bug resistant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The technique has previously been\u00a0used on projects including\u00a0Studio MM’s\u00a0cabin in upstate New York, Leroy Street Studio’s\u00a0waterfront home on Long Island, and Suyama Peterson Deguchi’s\u00a0family home\u00a0in Houston.<\/p>\n

Wood is also used throughout the interior of Michigan Lake House, from the custom cabinetry to the clad walls and ceilings.<\/p>\n

The home is organised across two wings, with a formal dining room separating the sleeping areas from\u00a0the open-plan dining and living room. The central space is anchored by an eight-chair wood table and a glazed back wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The master bedroom has an en-suite and\u00a0a large corner\u00a0window\u00a0with views of the lakefront. Three spare bedrooms and two bathrooms are positioned along a hallway to the right of the entryway.<\/p>\n

Michigan’s abundance of shoreline provides picturesque settings for many lakeside homes, including\u00a0Richard Meier’s Douglas House\u00a0and a\u00a0long wooden residence by Jeff Jordan Architects.<\/p>\n
