Windway, Historic private residence in Sheboygan, US.

Windway is a two-level International Style house north of Kohler, Wisconsin, designed by William Deknatel and built in 1937–1938. Its first floor is roughly T-shaped, with the living room extending south and kitchen and laundry to the north; the second floor is L-shaped, its north leg above the garage and drive-through. Concrete-encased steel beams show above the roofline, and the exterior is tan colonial brick with tidewater red cypress woodwork.

Walter J. Kohler Jr., later governor of Wisconsin, built Windway in 1937–1938 with his first wife, Marie Celeste Holden. He commissioned William Deknatel, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1930s, to design the house. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Walter J. Kohler Jr. and his first wife, Marie Celeste Holden, built Windway as a family home; their son Terry, born in 1934, and daughter Niki, born in 1936, were small children when it was finished in spring 1938. After the couple divorced in 1946, Holden's daughter Jackie moved in at 22, and Kohler's second wife, Charlotte Martha Wiley, arrived in 1947. Today the house serves as a residence for artists in the John Michael Kohler Arts Center residency program.

The property is privately owned and can be viewed from the street without interior access. You can find its exact location and background details through the National Register of Historic Places database.

The roof was built as a level tar-and-gravel deck designed to hold two inches of water, cooling the house in summer. Two small raised pools sit at the south end of the living room and east of the dining room. Concrete-encased steel beams show above the roofline.
