Lakeside Contemporary.

A set of contemporary gates make a dramatic portal to this multi-acre lakeside estate in Bloomfield Hills. Crafted from stainless steel the open design forms a delicate pattern and allows clear vision into the site. This contemporary home’s design attitude extends into the site and features a dramatic motor court. The geometric form is simple, straightforward and a contrasting statement in the natural landscape. The site’s perimeter mass-plantings emulate the rough of a golf course whose texture counters the manicured surface of refined lawn. Stone planting terraces gracefully manipulate the topography and allows for various plantings of ornamental grasses and flowering trees. The rear of the architecture thrusts itself into the circular lawn panel at the foreground of the lake. A birch mass planting anchors the home and quietly blends in with the native features of the site.
