Situated on the shores of the picturesque lake in northwestern Michigan where Ernest Hemingway frequently spent his summers, the 3,800-square-foot Walloon Lake House turned from a small 1960?s home into the perfect family house on the water. Honoring the original structure during renovation, DUDZIK Studios used swan douglas fir, helping to connect the new home with the landscape. The interior spaces were rearranged, combined, and expanded to make it work for modern times. The lot the home sits on slopes towards the lake making it all about the view of the blue water the lake is known for. Inside and out, wood and stone are key components helping to tie it to the natural surroundings of the landscape.
