“Hidden in plain sight, this detached family house, tucked away in a protected hilly landscape near the village of Franklin, Michigan, USA, is home to an opera singer, his wife and three children, all of whom are involved in the performing arts.

Designed by architect David Iannuzzi, it nestles into the knolls in the landscape, some of which have been sliced with Corten-steel retaining walls, and a 100-year-old American elm was preserved as a striking feature. The design was influenced by Potter-ish ideas of concealment and surprise, and Michigan farmsteads, which are collections of gabled-roof structures built over generations,’ says David.

The cluster of four timber-clad buildings includes five bedrooms and two multipurpose rooms, and 550sqm of living space. The pitched roofs are covered with matt-black standing-seam steel.”
