Somewhere along the shores of a lake in Michigan is a house designed
by a chicago based architectural firm.  It is 2 stories and was
described as a kind of "see through" house because of all the windows
and porches....I would love to find it.  I believe it was featured in
Chicago magazine.

I've located a reference to an Evanston home that was a featured in
Chicago magazine approximately a decade ago.  Here is an abstract of
the description that appeared in the article:

"The house, modernist while retaining a warm, inviting quality, is
made up of brick, steel and two all-glass ends to allow in natural
light."

Does this sound like the home you remember? 

If so, I can give you the date of the Chicago magazine issue, the page
of the article, and the name of the architect who designed the home.

I notice now that you wrote "...a lake in Michigan."  I had
inadvertently read that as "Lake Michigan."  Obviously, the Evanston
home would not match your description.  Sorry about that.

Thank you for taking time and you may still be able to help me.  This
house was mostly wood, windows and screened porches.  I want to say I
saw it about 5-6 years ago....Thanks, Mary Shawn

Hi mcow,

I wasn't able to locate a house with the specific criteria you gave.
However I did find this article on a house in Arizona which may
interest you.
