The Palisades

Located over an ice cave in the Palisades on the North Shore of Lake Superior, the lovingly conceived project is an extensive remodeling that involved the careful demolition, recycling, and donation of an astounding 70% of the original home materials. Two studios, four bedrooms, one tower, and a spa sit atop a 50’ high cliff and 2000 feet of shoreline. This is a modern and extreme transformation with craft, daylighting, transparency, warm regional materials, and dramatic views packaged in a shell of recycled redwood wine cask and clothed in Zen emotion.
