When Mother Nature Is Your Building Partner

“The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.”
– Frank Lloyd Wright

We live in a time when much of what surrounds us has divorced itself from its roots and ignores the time tested principles of geography – land, traditions and natural surroundings. Everyday items and needs are mass produced and standardized, replacing craft and artistry. “Having” has replaced “being”. But then, Mother Nature steps up and reminds us that she knows a bit about this concept and has had a fair amount of time to perfect her craft. Her spectral Lake Michigan sunset, composed and framed by the vibrant light of the dunes and the dark of a distant, building thunderstorm or the simplicity of a thick blanket of just fallen white November snow on a stand of Cedars. Fall’s magnificent concert of color, texture and form in the Boyne Valley. A Petoskey stone. She most certainly is an artist.

But Mother Nature also knows a thing or two about building…

Organic architecture – where does the landscape end and the home begin?…

The home reflects the surrounding landscape…

Nature and architecture – or natural architecture?…
