This striking contemporary home is a near-pristine showplace of mid-century modern architecture set in Detroit’s posh Palmer Woods and surrounded by 1920s Tudor mansions.
Its wow factor starts at the front entrance where two stained glass doors are set into a tall wall of glass that rises two stories to a peak. At its top the glass folds over 90 degrees and lays a slim line through the roof.
The result is a dazzling, sunny atrium. Below that is the foyer, accented by a triple life-size Louis Armstrong image.
