Type
Constructed in 1960 and designed by the late Orville Bauer, a prominent local architect, this house was a classic example of 1950’s contemporary design. With tall, flat ceilings and large expanses of glass, the structure is sited on the edge of a wooded hillside overlooking the Maumee River. The intent was to restore and add in a manner consistent with the original design genre in a way that it would be difficult to recognize new costruction. It was also important to consider landscape design and preservation of the exitisting plant life and terrain. A second floor was added in lieu of expanding the house over the hillside or into other valuable yard area. This created the opportunity for a new welcoming foyer and front entrance hall with abundant natural light, as well as a guest room and bath, and a new exercise room. The original foyer and front of the house were very dark and did not take advantage of the front landscaped courtyard. A two story stone wall was created to visually tie low landscape walls to the house and to balance a new glass curtain wall for the foyer.
