This home is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The midcentury estate was designed by Robert Metcalf-designed and constructed in 1967.
The residence— built for University of Michigan physicist Kup Siegel, represents one of the mid-century architect’s most ambitious residential projects.
Designed by Metcalf as a showcase home, and constructed by noted builder Joe O’Neal of O’Neal Construction Company, the residence spans approximately 6,500 square feet of primary living space across six bedrooms and seven baths.
The home showcases the defining characteristics of mid-century modern architecture: strong horizontal lines, expansive windows, natural materials, and a deliberate connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The post-and-beam structural design creates an open floor plan, while dramatic cantilevered elements—including an entry canopy and an elevated deck—extend into the surrounding treetops. A brick-lined colonnade bridges the space between the home’s great room and a sprawling bluestone patio.
The home has changed hands only a few times in its history; it’s currently listed on the market with agent JoAnn Barrett.
