Long Beach Residence
a family retreat
Lake Michigan’s shore in Long Beach was the central location selected for the creation of a beach residence for a family of nine siblings and their children and grandchildren to gather together from across the US.



Designed to Entertain
The home is designed with intimate sized mini-suite bedroom accommodations and distinct, warm, and personal feeling interior spaces. Entertainment of large family groups is possible with the provision of two levels of gathering zones, each with their own living room, kitchen and dining rooms. This allows for one to be formal and lifted up for views across the lake to peek at Chicago’s skyline and the other accommodate a relaxed life at the beach level. Utilizing the steep slope from road level to beach level allows for each floor to open fully to the waterfront. Decks, patios, fireplaces, and outdoor cooking centers boost outdoor living possibilities.
