Lyle Antieau House (William Vescolani House)
1982, Allegretti Architects; 2004 addition. 4 Ridgeway Dr.
From small balconies, large sweeping decks, portholes, and ribbons of windows, this dunes beach house offers views of Lake Michigan and the St. Joseph River Yacht Basin. A grain silo–like stairwell connects all five stories at the core of the building. In its stratification and in its provision for uninterrupted views, the house is like a version of Schindler's Lovell Beach House of fifty years earlier. The influence of Le Corbusier is evident here, especially in the rear of the house. In 2004 a one-story addition was placed on the house's southwest side.
