Every garden design at Hoerr Schaudt is unique—and so are each of their stories. Today we take a deeper look how a modern landscape completed the extensive redesign of this mid-century modern home.
Even before transformation of the interior and exterior began, the home had an enviable, but under-utilized asset: its location right on the bluff of Lake Michigan—and the spectacular views that came along with it. But although there were plenty of windows, the outdoor living space did not make the best of its location and the landscape design didn’t respond to the modern architectural style of the home.
As Doug Hoerr said in a LUXE Magazine piece about the home, “It made more sense to beef up the bluff and move the pool lakeside, even though it was a huge, technically demanding undertaking. But it opened up the entire back of the house to the lake and changed the way it lives.”
Did someone say “technically demanding?”
