(Sub)urban Farmette — norsman architects, ltd.
Located in Green Lake Wisconsin, this historic farmland was acquired by a Chicago native for their family’s vacation retreat. NA assisted with components of the historic barn structures conversion to a residence, site planning including a new tennis court and bocce and horseshoe arena and the design and construction of a new hobby barn.
The hobby barn was designed in a modern vernacular and includes a club room and porch at either end. Garage doors were added on both sides for drive-thru accessibility of numerous toys including a flying machine and a fleet of go-carts. Indigenous plantings surround the structure and the man-made pond adjacent to the residence.
