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.

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.

Welcome Home Magazine - Old World Inspired Basement

Old World Inspired Walkout Basement Meets Smart Technologies

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.

Modern Ranch House

Very clean, minimal and functional design were used to reflect the homeowners taste. This new home construction in Mattawan, Mi. was a dream to work on. The layout was the most important aspect of putting this home together. Priorities were placed on creating two master suites with adjoining home offices & a beautiful living room and kitchen to create natural flowing home design. 

To be able to make a clean, functional space - natural light was very important. Larger than standard window openings helped give this home an elegant feel. 

By using clean lines and sticking with a more modern concept to the exterior the home has a timeless feel. Adding in a walkout basement and deck gives the home multiple access points. 

Sustainability was another top priority of this client, the cedar garage doors and front doors are a contrast against the white siding creates a color contrast that is very elegant. Also adding to the sustainability is the use of stone veneer on the front entrance posts. 



Modern Farm House Transformation

Craftsman Lake House

Tudor Style Addition

In any home extension it is always a goal to create a seamless continuation of the original home. We carefully sourced all of the same materials original to the home, including the stone slate roofing.

Our clients are so happy with an addition that nearly double existing square footage!


Craftsman Ranch House in the Woods

In this timeless Craftsman Ranch House we maximized every square foot to create an open welcoming feeling. The open floor plan features vaulted ceilings with a natural flow.

Our clients are passionate about their craftsman style and desired their home to coincide with their decor. Set only one block from the lakefront this location provides the best of both worlds in woodland privacy and convenience. 

Lakefront Summer Home Remodel

We love how this project turned out. The owner of this property is a very creative person, with a great eye for decoration. It was important to not only create a functional space, but a space that felt like a retreat. 

The original property was very out of date, the siding was old and dilapidated, the window display allowed little view of the lake, and much of the space in the home was not being used in a very open way. The first update was adding board and batten siding, changing the placement of the original front door & updating exterior finishes and windows. Next we updated gable metal roofing over the entry door + metal roofing over the first floor windows. Creating a brand new sense of curb appeal. 

The original deck was starting to show sign of hazard. The first update was to create a stronger foundation under the original porch, once the structure was completed we added a 4 season room with large windows facing the lake. We created a new deck next to the 4 season room and added a new sliding door from the kitchen. 

By updating the floor plan through the entire home, and allowing the homeowner to use her own creativity the home came together into a beautiful home that can be enjoyed by their family for years to come. This home owners taste really showed through.

Modern Farmhouse Lakefront Estate - In Progress

This custom built home is loaded with personal touches to perfect suit the lifestyle of our clients. Countryside views spanning throughout nearly every room create a natural focal point to accent each space. 

A full operating woodworking shop artfully disguised on the exterior to look like an additional two car garage. The two-story tall great room features a bridge for easy access to both offices located above each garage. 

For entertaining space all year around, we designed the walk out basement and perched sunroom seamlessly into the layout. Stone veneer perfectly accents the exterior vinyl siding.
