For this one-of-a-kind residence, the architect used a variety of metal products that were custom fabricated for the structural steel-framed home, including press-formed aluminum spandrel panels, brake-formed aluminum sunshades and custom screenrail panels. Overlooking Lake Michigan, the 8,500-square-foot home features an outside-glazed, extruded aluminum curtainwall system by EFCO Corp.
