Crispin Sartwell Located on a lake outside of Milwaukee, the Vessel House is the culmination of an intense 5 year collaboration with our client and multiple local craftsmen focused on the creation of a modern analogue to the Usonian Home. As with most residential work, this home is a direct reflection of it’s owner, a highly educated art collector with a passion for music, fine… - [Aperture House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aperture-house-pj-vj~982016) - Location: Chenequa, WI - Photos: 19 - Description: In early 2002 Vetter Denk Architects undertook the challenge to create a highly designed affordable home. Working within the constraints of a narrow lake site, the Aperture House utilizes a regimented four-foot grid and factory prefabricated panels. Construction was completed on the home in the Fall of 2002. The Aperture House derives its name from the expansive walls of glass at each end framing specific outdoor views – much like the aperture of a camera. It was featured in the March 2003 issue… - [mHouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mhouse-pj-vj~6084914) - Location: Watertown, WI - Photos: 18 - Description: The mHouse is the brainchild of a magazine publisher intent on changing the way houses are constructed and how their owners relate to them. Named after one of the company’s website, the mHouse serves as a built manifesto of innovative panel materials such as rice hull composites and thermally fused laminate – becoming a case study house for over 30 international material suppliers. The design challenge was quite clear – how to use a series of new materials unproven in the US building trades to c… - [Elm Grove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elm-grove-pj-vj~979674) - Location: Elm Grove, WI - Photos: 38 - Description: The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment… - [North Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-lake-pj-vj~6076166) - Location: North Lake, WI - Photos: 21 - Description: Overview Chenequa, WI Size 6,863sf Services Architecture, Landscape Architecture - [Pine Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pine-lake-pj-vj~6084812) - Location: Pine Lake, WI - Photos: 41 - Description: The owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most… - [Continental Divide](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/continental-divide-pj-vj~6084889) - Location: Winter Park, CO - Photos: 7 - Description: The owners requested that their home harmonize with the spirit of the surrounding Colorado mountain setting and enhance their outdoor recreational lifestyle - while reflecting their contemporary architectural tastes. The site was burdened with a myriad of strict design criteria enforced by the neighborhood covenants and architectural review board. Creating a distinct design challenge, the covenants included a narrow interpretation of a “mountain style” home which established predetermined roof p… - [Pine Lake Garage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pine-lake-garage-pj-vj~6084875) - Location: Pine Lake, WI - Photos: 18 - Description: A minimal insertion into a densely wooded landscape, the Collector’s Pavilion provides the owners with an 8,000 sf private fitness space and vintage automobile gallery. On a gently sloping site in amongst a grove of trees, the pavilion slides into the topography - mimicking and contrasting the surrounding landscape with a folded roof plane that hovers over a board formed concrete base. The clients’ requirement for a nearby room to display a growing car collection as well as provide a remote area… - [Park Terrace Row Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-terrace-row-homes-pj-vj~6100220) - Location: Milwaukee, WI - Photos: 3 - Description: PARK TERRACE \| ROW HOUSES + BLUFF HOMES Program The Developer / Architect wished to build upon the vibrancy of this blossoming urban neighborhood created along a former industrial corridor with a variety of condominium housing units and price points. A combination of affordable Row House units along with upscale single family Bluff Homes created the unit diversity and urban pattern appropriate for the neighborhood. Unit density was of special concern given the relatively high site improvement co… - [Park Terrace Bluff Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-terrace-bluff-homes-pj-vj~6100225) - Location: Milwaukee, WI - Photos: 9 - Description: The Beerline Neighborhood: Bluff Homes, River Homes, Milwaukee Rowing Club, Booth Street Stairs Milwaukee, Wisconsin The Beerline is a former industrial corridor located along the Milwaukee River.

The Beerline River Homes provide a walkable connection to the city, the beautiful Milwaukee River, and the surrounding environs.… - [C.Reiss Sheboygan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/c-reiss-sheboygan-pj-vj~6100238) - Location: Sheboygan, WI - Photos: 4 - [River Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-court-pj-vj~6100241) - Location: Milwaukee, WI - Photos: 10 - Description: The Rivercourt Condominiums feature 24 residences on four levels with panoramic views of the Milwaukee River. The floor plans for each of these homes create a contemporary and inviting atmosphere capitalizing on a connection to the outdoors via sliding glass doors which open onto large balconies for outdoor living space. The use of corner glazing and eight-foot tall windows within the rooms provide framed views of nature and the nearby Milwaukee River. Two landscaped courtyards provide natural s… - [River Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-homes-pj-vj~6100248) - Location: Milwaukee, WI - Photos: 12 - Description: River Homes Civic, Pedestrian, and Personal Scale Our urban design strategy to create a modern, traditional neighborhood centered around three distinct yet connected levels of scale – civic, pedestrian, and personal. The civic connection with the city, the Milwaukee River and the adjacent Kilbourn Park was addressed via the main thoroughfare, street extensions and the River Walk. The relationship to pedestrian scale was achieved by fronting each building to its corresponding street or river edge… - [LAKE SIDE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-side-pj-vj~2627712) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Champion House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/champion-house-pj-vj~982043) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 19 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/vetter-architects-pfvwus-pf~722330154) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
