An artist and her husband enlisted SSP to refresh their two-bedroom ranch-style house on the western coast of Lake Michigan, with goals of adding a dedicated art studio, guest bathroom, and sleeping space, while enhancing the existing views of the lake from the site. To achieve this, we designed a perpendicular, single-pitched volume measuring 10 feet by 30 feet, incorporating storage, an extension to the primary bedroom, a new bathroom, and a mudroom that doubles as a sleeping loft for visiting family. In the early hours, you can hear the waves on the Great Lake from every corner of this house.⠀
