Designed by Anderson Anderson Architecture, the Chameleon House is a modern prefab home towering over the rolling topography of its cherry orchard site, peering outwards toward spectacular westward views of Lake Michigan and the surrounding agricultural landscape.

With its galvanized sheet metal cladding of the wall surface, this vertical prefabricated structure is wrapped in a skirting wall of recycled translucent polyethelene slats, reflecting light and color of its landscape; hence the name - Chameleon House.

The translucent polyethelene slats stand on aluminum frames that serve also as window washing platforms and emergency exit structures.

… I guess either you like it or you don’t… the word “unusual” comes to mind when I think of this prefab home - Just look at that view.
