As active empty nesters, the clients wanted a home that would enable them to age in place. Sustainability, low maintenance, natural materials and a modern design aesthetic were also important qualities for their new home. The clients chose their home site because of its location adjoining Ann Arbor’s famous Arboretum and the stunning natural views it afforded. The architectural team created a design that embraced the challenging site to take advantage of the views in virtually all directions while affording privacy.
