The Douglas House on the shores of Lake Michigan is one of several spectacular residences Richard Meier completed early in his career and that helped to solidify his reputation.  The whiteness and pure geometry of the house stand in sharp contrast to the pine trees that surround it.  The openness of the plan and the glass elevations ensure dramatic lake and shoreline views throughout.

Ed Roehm AIA:

one of the best private residences to come out of the 70s, probably the worst decade for architecture, clothes, cars and hair!
