Michigan isn't often thought of as a great center of architectural innovation, even though neighboring Illinois lays claim to Frank Lloyd Wright. Keith and Mary Campbell took some mediocre Michigan real estate, however, and turned it into a modern marvel. Their [lakefront Michigan home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usonianinspired-lake-house) was custom crafted to house their [amazing furniture collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-for-a-collector).

The Michigan home was photographed by Raimund Koch. See more of the house and more of Koch's work at the links below.

**Implications** - A look through these pictures should not disappoint, especially for those who appreciate vintage designs. The [1970s ranch that was transformed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-island-house) into this homely house helps this abode to have an old, yet new feel. Keith and Mary Campbell truly do have a home worth being very proud of!
