Casa del Sueno (House of Dreams)

This rustic second home retreat on Green Lake (part of Lauderdale Lakes near Elkhorn Wisconsin) is a relaxing place for family and friends to rejuvenate and connect with each other in an informal environment. Designed by the homeowner and architects – Nick Deluca & Associates in Naperville, Illinois, it’s unique architecture seamlessly blends design elements of structures found in Nantucket, the Southwestern United States, Australia, Africa and Midwestern farms. The home’s design was also influenced by Christopher Alexander’s treatise on timeless design: “Pattern Language” which outlines 250 patterns used throughout history. (150 of those patterns guided the design of this home.) The use of simplistic, unadorned natural materials and the seamless unification of land and home create the perfect get- away from the bustle of city living.
