The Kramer Residence
rests atop a hill on a 40-acre Wisconsin farm, with an amazing view down to the Mississippi river. The project delicately balances the desire to capitalize on the prominent hilltop view with need to respect the landscape and views of others.

 


The footprint of the Kramer Residence is 1000 square feet, significantly smaller than the average American standard of 2500 square feet. The spaces feel significantly larger though, thanks to the openness of the kitchen/living area, the cathedral ceiling, and the ability to completely open up the glazed northern wall to the outdoor patio. Compact, yet flexible, this home is ideally suited for an established bachelor who likes to entertain.
