Galien River Retreat

New Buffalo, MI

Perched on a bluff overlooking a winding estuary, Galien River Retreat offers a serene escape with its expressed glulam structure and weathered gray Accoya wood siding. The linear design follows the land’s crest, with expansive glazing and screening that open to river views and natural surroundings. Balancing modernity and warmth, the home features a flat roof, extended eaves, and a screened porch—dubbed the "summer living room." The exposed glulam beams integrate indoor and outdoor spaces, extending to form a trellis connecting the house and garage. Inside, an open layout flows from kitchen to living areas, leading to a pool terrace and garden. A minimalist palette of black aluminum, polished concrete floors, and grey Accoya cladding creates a timeless, natural atmosphere, highlighting wood’s role in connecting the home to its environment.
