Located in a charming Southeast Wisconsin community known for its rich architecture, the Modern European Residence is perched atop a hill overlooking the street below. The dimensionality of the roof lines activates large-format architectural details softened with curved stone accents. Stacking chimneys create a rhythm that playfully contrasts the diminishing roof edges. A hint of symmetry develops from the overall massing, window groupings and steeply pitched roofs. Locally sourced, durable materials dress the stately residence with white-fired brick and natural zinc roof accents contrasted with the dark simulated slate roof and aluminum-clad windows. Manicured lawn and modern landscaping blocks soften the pedestrian approach from the granite auto court.
