The Gables was born when a client of Visbeen Architects asked for something exceptional on a small but personally significant lakefront lot. Unique solutions were employed to achieve their objective, including a 10-foot-deep lower level. This feat of engineering required a custom pump system to keep lake water out of the house but also made room for a home theater, family rooms, extra bedrooms, and additional entertainment areas, which were finished beautifully by Vision Interiors.

Designing a personal residence may be an architect’s most challenging task. With Ingleside, Wayne Visbeen set out to create an iconic, timeless home to showcase the craftsmanship and the quality of Visbeen Architects’ design work. The goal was to keep the spacious footprint efficient on a tight suburban lot.

One of Visbeen Architects’ most distinctive designs, this private home evokes the picturesque villages of Tuscany. The spacious footprint is spread across multiple buildings. There are many fireplaces and chimneys, a formal garden, and a working vineyard. The central courtyard features a motor court and bell tower, reminiscent of an old Italian church and used as an observatory. Ludowici Roof Tile baked high-quality, authentic clay tiles in their kilns to cover the vast square footage of roofs on the home.

This three-year design-build project put Visbeen Architects on the map for residential architecture. The clients’ international collection of antiques and original artwork features in every room of the home, creating a unique design challenge. The firm imagined a unifying central corridor running through the structure to establish cohesion. This “structural spine” has been repeated in many Visbeen Architects projects, providing a straight line for HVAC, centrally-located supporting walls, and shortened floor joists.

The Rookwood feels like an old home in a new style. This house draws inspiration from Tudor and Shingle styles using brick and stone with iconic details like steeply pitched roofs, shingled walls, and extensive porches. The dining room is open to the kitchen and hearth. The living room is a beautiful conversation space with a look-through fireplace. The library and pub harken to the past, featuring pub tables and a wine bar.
