The Pier Cove Residence is designed to take advantage of a wooded sloped site on the east coast of Lake Michigan.  The home has a long axial approach which aligns with a entry and living spaces giving a view through the house to the water beyond.  The primary suite and sleeping spaces are located to the north on the site, while the public spaces are to the south.  A full walk-out lower level allows for outdoor living and a pool to be sculpted in the bluff.
