# Whiskey Collector Modern Homes Khanna Schultz Designs the House for a Collector Project By Amy Duong | Published 2025-02-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-for-a-collector References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/a-michigan-house-designed-for-a-collector-of-bourbon-whiskey-and-rare-porsches/) & [khanna-schultz](https://www.khanna-schultz.com/house-in-michigan)  Khanna Schultz designed the House for a Collector project which is nestled in Birmingham, Michigan, a [suburban neighborhood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/south-yarra-house) in the north of Detroit. The project is meant to accommodate a collector with a passion for rare [Porsches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-drive-car-club-ss26) and whiskeys. The structure of the home strays away from conforming to the notions of a monolithic suburban residence. The architect's sections of the house into a series of volumes interconnected to one another. It is arranged around a [courtyard in the middle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanctum-house) to form a symmetrical feeling. This also mitigates the visual roots of a single large building to foster a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The courtyard also serves the purpose of the main focal point.
