Learn about the life and work of Earl Young. It's common to refer to the custom homes of master builder Earl Young as mushroom houses. As a designer, Young was enigmatic because he didn't use blueprints (can you imagine?!). As an artist, he created homes that fit the site rather than forcing the landscape to accommodate the design. The iconic structures cute names do not diminish their lasting impact and Charlevoix is proud of its architectural treasures.
