Perched on a bluff overlooking a meandering estuary, the Galien River Retreat house in New Buffalo, MI, is designed by Wheeler Kearns Architects, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere while integrating both modern and serene elements. Expressed glulam structure and weathered gray Accoya wood siding were selected for their ability to weather and wear beautifully over time, while the home offers a calm design response to urban pressures.
