The Douglass House was constructed for James and Jean Douglas and completed in 1973. World-renowned architect, Richard Meier designed this house located in Harbor Springs, Michigan. This home is located on a steep hill, overlooking Lake Michigan. This house is four stories high and has a clean modern design, especially for the time which it was built. The large windows of this home are not only sleek but allow for maximum views of the lake and foliage around.

Every aspect of this house was meticulously thought out. All the stairways in this four-story home were thoughtfully placed in corners in order to allow for maximum natural sunlight and views. This house is very unique and is able to catch the eye of anyone. Before this course, I had seen images of this house before, but never known the history or thought that went into it. Knowing now what I do, I have a great appreciation for this home that was designed by Richard Meier well before its time.
