L ake County's Riverwoods is known for dozens of houses designed in the 1950s and '60s by Edward Humrich. His masterful riffs on Frank Lloyd Wright's rustic Usonian homes give the bucolic community cachet among fans of midcentury style. Clad in cedar and redwood, these low-slung, many-windowed residences were fashioned to fit the wooded landscape. Tucked away at 1385 Woodland Lane is a house of the same vintage, but a very different profile: a high modernist box that architect Philip Thrane built in the mid-1960s for his family.
