Overlooking the hum and rumble of the Wisconsin River, this awe-inspiring design was created to imagine as if the estate was built around a naturally occurring feature. Incorporating into the existing expanses of a naturally formed sandstone bluff, over three million tons of indigenous stone and vegetation were brought in to recreate a natural outcropping. Needing to rival the scale and grandeur of the 29,000-square-foot estate it connects with, sandstone formations, weighing as much as 92,000 pounds were carefully trucked and craned into place from distant Amish rock farms. A gathering space and a series of natural walls and staircase designs brought to life to our homeowners’ vision of the natural fluidity of indoor/outdoor living and an extension of living space within nature.
