Tree Vertical House sits atop a sloping, wooded site in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. To minimize its impact on the federally protected dunes, the architects designed a vertical home with a minimal footprint. As a result, the house becomes a tranquil vacation retreat that soars among the trees, offering views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.
