HOUSE TOUR | Inside a Glass House with Breathtaking Views of Lake Michigan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- On today’s episode of Homeworthy, Chicago-based architect and author of "The Meaningful Modern Home: Soulful Architecture and Interiors" Celeste Robbins invites us inside her remarkable home nestled along the shores of Lake Michigan. Celeste's love affair with this mid-century gem, originally crafted by architect Winston Elting in 1956, began at first sight. This picturesque abode, perched above the tranquil waters of Lake Michigan, boasts expansive floor-to-ceiling glass windows that frame breathtaking views. For her weekend retreat, Celeste opted for subtle cosmetic enhancements while also optimizing the kitchen and primary bath layouts. Remaining faithful to the home’s original design ethos was important for Celeste, who allowed the existing materials and color palette of her natural surroundings to guide the overall aesthetic. Enjoy!

My favorite house that has been featured on this channel by far! As an architect myself, I appreciate the history behind the home and the owner's respect for it. I hope Homeworthy includes more modern and minimalist designs going forward. Just because a home is not packed with furniture, objects, and color, doesn't mean it can't be beautiful and cozy. Give us more of this!
This is absolutely my favorite home yet! It’s a dream to have such an original mod home. It’s stunning and this lady is so grateful and gracious. She truly loves this home for what it is. She understood its vibe and I’m happy she own it. No one else could have tailored it like her. It’s completely incredible.
I agree! There is something so extraordinarily comforting, warm and inviting about this home. Everything and all the furniture seems so comfortable and cozy. The dark paneling and brick brings a 70s vibe but with great class and luxury but subdued and not over the top. The glass windows overlooking the beauty of nature and the lake is incredible. The sunlight in the late afternoon is awesome and heavenly.
Thank you so much 💛 I am glad my love for this home comes through.
Agree!!!
@@celesterobbinsI love your house,I’m been watching this video like 1000 times
,I love the chandelier from the Dinning area
Where can I find a similar??
Natural elegance. She makes it look so simple and easy but such thought, restraint, and warmth went into the harmonious design. Absolutely fabulous.
That is a very good way to put that!
There aren't enough adjectives to describe how truly fabulous this home is. Absolutely fabulous and luxurious - but at the same time comfortable, cozy, inviting, livable, and homey.
Perfect in every detail. This house didn't sell for reason, the right person, steward for this property was in the waiting.
This is not usually my style, but after this amazing woman gave us a tour of this GORGEOUS property, I am rethinking everything! What a wonderful home.
I'm honored to live in another architects passion; what a gracious lady, this is where the warmth of the house is coming from
Peaceful, serene, tranquil with excellent use of space. Wishing the owner many years of joy in this home!
I almost didn't watch this one because typically mid-century modern seems too sterile to me. But this has so much softness and warmth that I love it! And oh, those private courtyards!...and the overall views and acreage!... just perfect!! ❤❤❤
I understand. I love color and pared down traditional. This house is none of those things, but I LOVE it.
Magnificent. The lighting - both natural and created - just so very gorgeous and embracing. The wooden surfaces (other textures too) - rich, and warm. Some of her mid century pieces, modern pieces, and fabrics - very handsome, and well chosen . Each season must bring its own light show. Wow. Many years of joy to Celeste and her family in that poetic structure.
I love Frank Lloyd Wright. I knew as soon as the camera zoomed in it was influenced by his architectural. This is the most gorgeous house. Nature inside and out. Just breathtaking.
I agree I love it’s design.
Stunning and so livable! The ceilings are a feature all their own. Ms. Robbins demonstrates how masterful restraint becomes a beautiful backdrop for living. Wow thanks for sharing this project!
Absolutely wonderful house and the quiet, elegant way she has enhanced the home and stayed true to its origins without it being a MSM museum. Very up-to-date date but timeless.
The energy in her home is so relaxing. I love how she managed all the aspects of the home and found balance between the architecture and her personal style.
So stunning. Simple, warm and cozy. The primary bedroom looks like it is actually outside. The kitchen is genius.
Loved this home. How fun living in a glass house on a lake. She did a lovely job making it feel warm and welcoming.
The restraint and respect shown for this beautiful property makes me very happy.
I had to watch this one again and show it to my husband. This home is so beautiful and peaceful. I love all of the carefully planned details. Absolutely stunning!
I love this home, and how all the furnishings and belongings have room to breathe! I think that I would feel very relaxed and at peace in this home. I adore all the windows and the unobstructed amazing view. So many tours of houses are jam packed with stuff. This home is a masterclass in restraint.
It reminds me of many of the mid century homes in the neighbourhood I grew up in. Every home was designed specifically for their owner and the site.
What a nice observation about Mid Century homes 💛
Now this is a home definitely my favorite love the simplicity yet the wow factor is present to this she did a great job on it 😊
I love this house! It’s so beautiful!
I love everything about this home. It’s so warm and cozy. Beautifully furnished without pretension. Thank you for sharing.🩷
This owner was meant to have this house!
WOW!!Unpretentious and stunning. Breathtaking passion restrained by elegant discipline. Wonderful example of excellent design. Who wouldn’t want to work this architect?
This tour was phenomenal! I so appreciated this architect's insights into the design of this home and why she chose to decorate it the way that she did. I would hire her in a second. Her expertise and thoughtfulness shines through.
If I ever can afford an architect it will be her!
she is not the architect
She is not the architect of this historic mid century home but she is an architect. Hence her fabulous understanding of design principles.
So nice 😊 Thank you
It's so cool that her family and friends play games. The home is beautiful and what a great host!
So fabulous. Great place to live. Love the 50’s homes.
I’d have to get over having a security issue with all that glass like I’d have to sleep with 1 eye open, but it looks fantastic both the home and its surroundings
Such a wonderful slice of heaven.
Lots of love is shown in your home. Your telling us about home and family is sharing the love with us. Thank you and BRAVO1
Michigan, yay!! This side of the state is so beautiful! I’m usually not a fan of modern but I really truly appreciated and loved this one and the tour. Just fabulous! So much done right here, she is the perfect owner for this gem.
What an extraordinarily peaceful retreat, with such respect for nature, of which it sits bravo!
This was a terrific tour. Celeste articulates in such a warm, but intellectual and thoughtful manner.
What a breathe of fresh air..this home!!
Love this house! She did a brilliant job of mixing the modern style with the vintage look of the original architecture.
Celeste has thought through every aspect of this house, especially the kitchen. Very talented woman. Well done. The home has an amazing peaceful feeling.
Stunning! The Lady and the house!She is such an interesting person, so thoughtful and natural. All that she says speaks to me. And as a fan of Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and all these amazing architects I really really love this house! There was a time in my life when I wished so deeply to study architecture, cause I had been interested in it for so many years. But for personal reasons it was not possible. But when I listen to Celeste I can understand her passion so well. She did so right with what she did (or not did) to this beautiful house. I wish her all the best and lots of happy years to come🍀 Thank you for this tour and warm greetings from Germany 😊
I am always so interested in a house ID when the owner is an architect. I even so curious to listen at the end of the video their definition of what is a house. Liked her simple but important tips which reflects her thoughtful character: cook what you are good with, easy table games for guests, no sitting places near the lake so you have to sit on the grass… Love all the house (except all what is made from animals: leather…) but my fav was the kitchen? My goodness! You wake up and you see nature you got to sleep and relax watching through the windows, you brush your teeth while looking plants… Congrats! Excellent house ❤🎉
Beautiful, serene home and so welcoming. Love the light ,the wonderful view and the layout which is so efficient, no fuss....The furnishings complement the home without being a slave to the mid-century. And the fireplaces!! bravo...understated perfection
Peaceful, serene, an oasis. This home is fantastic. The views, the ingenious idea for the kitchen, breathtaking. Thank you for sharing. I'm in awe.
ANOTHER great Homeworthy video! What a gorgeous, tranquil space. Every detail was so well-considered and thoughtful. Thank you so much for showcasing a pared-back modern home - they're home worthy, too!
This home is absolutely gorgeous and I hope the doggie was only outside because of the film crew. The kitchen is so beautiful and the hidden cooktop is such an amazing idea. The kitchen fireplace sitting at eye level literally just invites you into the room. If I ever have the chance to build I will definitely look back on this video. Now I want to see your other home! ❤
Stella my dog loves that courtyard! She typically comes to the door and then walks away when I open it😊. She is the best though 💛Glad she made it in the video
Stunning home. A great example of modern architecture and inviting warmth…such a beautiful combination. Love it!❤
Your lake home is so gorgeous..love your decor style Celeste! Your talent is unmatched!!
Thank you so much 💛
Far and away the dreamiest house I've ever seen. How truly wonderful.
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND WINS THE HOMEWORTHY HOME TOURS OUT OF THEM ALL WOW 🤎
Mid Century is usually not appealing to me nor a style I enjoy.
But this house is the first time I’d say I would absolutely live here and I love every single thing about this home. Inside and out. I’m not sure what the difference is with this one, but I think it’s the owner and her choices in furnishes and updates and style.
Normally I feel like Mid Century homes are not very warm and cozy. I feel they are harsh, with the minimalistic aesthetic and harsh lines etc. I respect the style, it just doesn’t feel right for me. But there is something different about this one. And like I said, I think it’s her, and what she’s done with it. It’s fantastic and feels so inviting.
What she has done with the bones of this house is incredible. She is very smart and talented and seems to have a very caring soul. Her family must be very proud of all she has accomplished so far.
Thank you Homeworthy and to Celeste for inviting us into your magnificent home. 🙏🏼❤️
Great tour. I would never describe 2,200 square feet as small but I suppose it may be in a place that’s likely full of enormous new builds.
Absolutely stunning
I look almost every day for a new video drop. Can’t wait but…of all the greats I am thinking this is my favorite
Gorgeous!! I am in love!
As much as I couldn’t live in a mid century house, she absolutely knocked out of the park. Accolades!!
I think this is my favourite home so far. The light is absolutely stunning.
This is absolutely beautiful. I understand what she says about the difference between summer and winter because I live on a sea front property and see the seasonal changes but there is beauty all year round. A lovely presentation.
Ha! @ 24:17 the dog is looking forward to the interview ending. That shot cracked me up. Beautiful home, very well done and such a wonderful setting so close to the beach.
I know right? And it is a family home with a big dog! No worries the finishes and French antiques are there to live in!.
🤣 he is so cute 🤍
Love the serenity of the home. Lot of glass yet it feels so private. Awesome interiors especially the kitchen. Well, the whole house is just amazing ❤❤❤
I absolutely love this home! I would never leave but go get food and supplies i will completely isolate there!😂
That’s pretty much what I do! 💛
I enjoy the asymmetry of the fireplace, art placements, et al. Extremely well-balanced. Lovely home.👏👏👏
I appreciate and respect the way Celeste articulates the features of her design and stunning home. She has honoured the mid-century property and I found it interesting that there is not one item of colour in the home, except maybe the beautiful pink glasses. So much thought went into this structure, and design. My husband is also an architect so I will have to show him this exquisite property. I like the word Celeste used that home is a place you go to "recharge." Unfortunately I found myself turning the volume down completely due to the annoying background music. It took away from the words being expressed. Sometimes I just have to mute and use subtitles. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia.
I didn’t know I had a dream home until I saw this!
Don’t dream it darlin dream big go get your beautiful home or apartment 👏🏾🙏🏿😄
One of the better programs here. Well done
An absolutely stunning house and it’s amazing to see a modern kind of minimalistic house done with such warmth. Truly beautiful. Dream house 😊
I like the light but with that much openness I would feel exposed. Too open. Lacks a feeling of safety, but that's just me.
Me too.
Yeah, this would be a great house to film a scary murder movie in. I would be okay during the day, but that glass at night reflecting the inside light back at me and the darkness outside might creep me out.
This is my most favorite home by far from homeworthy❤
FABULOUS HOME AND OWNER! Peaceful vibe.
What a Beautiful and comfortable home!
Thank you so much for sharing
I love love love this house and this kind of architecture. It reminds me of very similar mid century house my in laws had by lake Michigan in Wisconsin. I miss that place. This house is stunning. I am jealous 😭
It reminds me the Philip Johnson's "glass house".
So beautiful.
Rebecca Is a lovely person.
I have looked at this video several times because i love it so much and dont want to miss anything! This lady is just as kool as her home! Love this tour, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Summer is my favorite time as well!
Ms. Robbins decorated this home perfectly! Love the sheep skin covered chair in the livingroom. Lovely home.
This is absolutely the best house I have seen in Home Worthy! Very minimalistic but yet absolutely stunning.
Stunning home. The best I've seen on this channel x Nell.
Beautiful house and property. Love bringing nature in.
Amazing home! Celeste seems like she would be a lot of fun to be friends with. She has amazing taste. Their home reminds me so much of our home in Hawaii. Living with nature is so calming.
One of my favorite homes. I have watched this episode thrice already!
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the tour! This is a special house with a soul. I'm glad she was the one to buy it and do it justice.
Wow! What a beautiful home! What a dream of a lake house!❤
Beautiful home and hostess ! Such a sweet lady and how fortunate to have this space ! Love it all ❤
Stunning property!
What a wonderful place to live and unwind. This home feels like a breath of fresh air, worry free and relaxing.
Such a warm, pretty house.
This is absolute perfection. Every inch of the property. Love this!
Hard to decorate such a niche home, and she has done it perfectly. The grounds, the house, the overall setting - amazing
The house is so well done…1956….genius….gorgeous location….Michigan who knew
Yes I can see Wright's design, so much open space, peace & calm.
Beautiful and serene. Did I mention tranquil and calm? Perfect in every way. What a talent. I want to move in.
Modern yet warm...perfection!
I love everything about this home!
❤❤❤ Love this! So uncluttered, calming, relaxing. Gorgeous views with amazing location...😊
The best of homeworty, yet.
Simple, yet fabulous😍😍😍
My dream house - and that lake view!!!
LUV your style of entertaining and soft furnishings.😊❤
Love all of the home!!! She decorated it vary nice just love it. And I thought I was the only one that didn't have a TV, I do have 3 small flip up DVD players that I can use, but I have them in a closet. And I like more formal decor, but she did a vary beautiful job. I could live in the home and not miss all my clutter. I live in grand Rapids Michigan it's nice to see west Michigan she did a vary beautiful job.
The kitchen is gorgeous!
This tour would have been even better if the sweet golden was part of it too
This house is amazing.
Its a wonderful mid century modern house. Beautiful and calm. Loved those pink glasses.
I love those chimneys.
Just reminds me too much of a council building i used to work in.
THIS IS MY KIND OF HOUSE! Absolutely love everything about it. The home, the furnishings, and the grounds. Can I move in?
