Transitional Lakefront Home

We began working with the owners of this home & Josh VanDyke of R. VanDyke Building & Remodeling, LLC in 2021. 

The house is located on a beautiful lakefront property, with a stunning natural surrounding. Our top priority was making sure to capitalize on the lake view; and this was achieved through two primary strategies. The first, was to design a floor plan concept that placed utility rooms (laundry room, pantry, mudroom bathrooms, etc) towards the street; this allowed us to place living rooms, kitchen, dining room, sunroom bedrooms, and basement living spaces facing the lake. The second detail was centered around window selection, placing large windows in the two story living room and designing the window layout to provide as much natural light & lake view as possible.

The house has immediate "Wow" factor as you walk in through the front doors and are greeted by two stories of windows, and an unbeatable view of the lake. Our clients wished for an open floor plan, with transitional design elements. We were able to deliver this by creating different defined areas (four seasons room, living room, kitchen, dining space) while maintaining an easy flow that can be seen in the video. 

In addition to our floor plan's strategy, the materials - such as cedar, metal roof above the entry way & four seasons room. The accent windows, European style window / sliding door with railings on the upper level bedroom, interior color scheme, Hardie board siding, and paneling that were chosen in this house provided the transitional style the client was looking for.

Overall, this was a very fun & interesting project to be a part of. The whole designing process was pleasant, based on collaboration and team effort between the owners, designer, builder and our business.

Old World Inspired Basement Meets Modern Convenience

We worked very closely with the clients to incorporate Old World inspired design with modern smart home convenience. Partnering with Integrated Smart Technologies, LLC,  general contracting by Hawks Hollow Builders, and expert millwork by E. Leet Woodworking. Typical Roman style arches are throughout the basement, dividing each space and creating defined spatial functionality. Many of these arches also incorporate additional functionality as well, including built in speakers and storage niches. Walking into this lower-level is like a step back in time with the fine touches of old-world architecture and design style, even down to the smallest details of floor-mounted lighting, panel exposed brick, and expertly crafted brick and mortar arches. Under-cabinet lighting, under-shelf lighting, and baseboard bar lighting are all touches of modern convenience that complement this old-world design. This was truly a one-of-a-kind project, from the wine & whiskey cellar to the home gym; it was a pleasure to bring my European roots into this remodel project.

Interior Design for East Michigan Estate

The interior of this home takes inspiration from the Neoclassical style. From the outside, this home is an expansive castle with beautiful olde world details. The homeowners wanted elements inspired by the 1890s-1930s architectural and interior design style. 

I designed several rooms including the great room, library, dining room, the grand hall, the billiard and bar, all in neoclassical style. One challenge was customizing the layout to compliment existing architecture, as well as designing all the cabinetry and woodwork. 

The design of the wood panels, columns, coffered ceilings, cabinets and crown moldings, etc. is influenced by my European background and was done with the instructions/ and great taste of the homeowners. They love the rich look of the wood and how the custom design for each room really makes this project unique and personalized. 

This project was an exciting and pleasant process, with constant communication with the homeowners and I'm grateful for our continued relationship today.

Lakefront Estate

Our homeowners for this project required their home to result in a Florida-Style Mediterranean flair and Feng Shui balance. This was achieved through thoughtful design and layout by ADIDA. 

The Lakefront Estate includes East facing entrances, an open concept floor plan with lake views at nearly every corner, extensive outdoor activity space, and a breathtaking rotunda dining room scaling two-stories in the heart of the home.

Floor plan preview

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.
