Inspired by the wide overhangs and horizontal massing of Prairie-style residential architecture, this lakeside retreat fully nestles into the landscape. The 9,600 SF home features broad sliding glass doors that expand the interior space to outdoor views; a cantilevered stair leads guests from a private entry to a breathtaking lakefront vista. The long, cantilevered roof provides ample shade and seems to gracefully float above the living space. Board-formed concrete, exposed wood finishes and native plantings help Highbank gently interweave with its prairie surroundings.
