[...] La propuesta de Danny Forster Design Studio es que a través de una combinación de decisiones de diseño intuitivo y estrategias de diseño tecnológicamente permitidas, sea posible hacer una arquitectura sostenible dotada de belleza y a un costo razonable. La casa Omena es un proyecto que combina un sofisticado software de modelado de energía y estrategias básicas de diseño de sentido común para crear un hogar sostenible contemporáneo cuya meta es conectar a sus residentes con el entorno inmediato. Aunque con techos planos y una geometría abstracta, la casa es una parte importante de la historia de los hogares del norte del Lago Michigan. Resulta ser una interpretación moderna, sostenible, de una cabaña a orillas del lago. Más información, planos e imágenes en ArchDaily. [...]

To the Patent Po-po, Omena is a small town on the East side of the Leelanau Peninsula. The Lake is a body of water called Lake Michigan or more specifically on West Grand Traverse Bay. It is wise for any newer construction on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan to be set back. Water and shoreline protection are a part of the life in N. MI.

I grew up in northern Michigan and I’ve never heard of a “Lake Omena”. Google maps says There is an Omena Lake on the Indiana border, and the lake’s about a quarter mile wide – much smaller than the photos here suggest.

Anyone who’s from Michigan knows there is a dramatic difference in climate between the south and north in the state. Maybe this is in northern Michigan, somewhere, but there’s something weird here.

I’m also confused about how “the house is very much a part of the history of Northern Michigan Lake homes.” Truth be told, there isn’t much of a vernacular of northern Michigan homes, aside from wooden Victorian cottages built around the turn of the (last) century.

There’s something weird here…

nice enough house, but the siting is horrible … it looks as if it dropped out of the sky.
