HAEBIC RESIDENCE
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN

On wooded acreage in suburban Grand Rapids, Lott3Metz worked to develop a new home for a small family and their expanding publishing business. The home is sited at the top of ridge facing North into a wall of dense foliage. The home’s master suite, living/dining/kitchen, guest room, and office were all oriented towards the foliage to take advantage of the natural view and the filtered North light. The existing and cultivated landscapes envelop the home on all sides creating a strong sense of seclusion for the owners. The owner’s desire to have the publishing office “up in the trees” led us to separate the home’s living and working functions by floor with the living and sleeping functions on the first floor and the publishing office located on a partial second floor with views to the living area below and to the treetops outside.
