HISTORIC RENOVATION/RESTORATION (50 YEARS OR OLDER)
1st Place
Kathleen McGovern Studio with Dr. Michelle & Mr. Max Wiener
Photo by: Jeff Garland
In this remarkable transformation, the HVAC was upgraded, the original plaster was repaired or replaced, and new electrical was installed. The natural limestone fireplace and original hand-hewn beams were stripped of their white paint, and the French doors and library floor were replaced. The circular motion of the entry is defined by the tri-colored slate floor specified by the architect in 1931; curved railings echo the movement and remain intact.

SMALL-SPACE REMODEL (UP TO 1,000 SQUARE FEET)

Originally a small inset area, this peninsula bar kept homeowners trapped on one side with their guests blocking them in. By creating a new entrance from the foyer, the space is now clearly defined for the homeowners, while guests have the ability to gather in a more natural way. There are spaces to read, relax, or chat by the fire. This renovation makes a grand statement!

A sweeping front entrance walkway is flanked by four fire pots, lighting the way to the home with its expansive windows and pivoting door. The exterior walls are veneered with large horizontal cedar boards, while Fond-du-Lac stone corner columns are angled to maximize the panoramic views. Four open-plan levels each boast a unique layout. Mahogany floors, paired with sloped cedar ceilings, provide a cozy atmosphere.

The additions to this home include a new front entry and a first-floor primary suite, along with a deck along the riverfront living spaces. The redesign of this home placed the great room, dining area, and kitchen along the riverfront, and relocated the primary suite and home office to the front of the home. A deeper entry hall provides a welcoming, informal space.

Maison Birmingham with KSI Kitchen & Bath
Photo by: Martin Vecchio
The clients bought an old firehouse in Detroit to realize their dream of creating a live/work studio. They wanted to retain the structure’s charm and character while incorporating a modern, creative style. The clients handled their own construction, but required help with the cabinetry and kitchen design. Full-access cabinetry achieves a modern look with maximum functionality. Graphite and pearl on a slim Shaker-style door provide a grounding element.

VACATION HOME IN MICHIGAN

Joseph Mosey Architecture Inc. with Jones-Keena & Co.

This beach house was created to provide amazing views from the top of a sand bluff on the shores of Lake Michigan. The floor plan takes full advantage of the sunrises to the east and grand sunset views to the west. The authentic Shingle-style design, cedar shingle exterior, and classic East Coast vibe allow the structure to integrate perfectly into the coastal dune landscape.

This retreat is built into the natural slope of the land. To seamlessly blend with the rugged surroundings, natural materials like western cedar siding and exterior limestone were used generously. The open floor plan features wood and stone, and expansive, bronze-tinted butted glass windows deliver awe-inspiring, panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains. The exterior includes a standing-seam metal roof, along with diagonal-patterned shingles.

NEW MODEL HOME (Architecture)

Cottage Company interiors with Cottage Company of Harbor Springs
Photo by: Beth Singer
The six-bedroom, six-bathroom spec home has water views from all levels, including a rooftop deck with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and dining and seating areas. Because there wasn’t a client, the team was able to experiment with some creative ideas that hadn’t been tried before. Wood paneling or tile adorns every wall, and custom-inset cabinetry, quality millwork, and high-end finishes and appliances result in an extraordinary home.

Smooth limestone meets flush metal and rich wood, creating a zero-maintenance exterior. The natural materials from the exterior flow through the interior for a smooth, polished appearance. The floor plan is open and airy, with views of a ravine and creek through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Intricate ceiling details, floating illuminated wall panels, louvers, and a sophisticated lighting package result in a one-of-a-kind, vogue look.

The east gabled structure contains a suite on the main floor and guest bedrooms on the upper floor. The west gabled structure is utilitarian yet beautiful, housing a garage, powder room, and mudroom.

This home has a sprawling floor plan with exposure to open space and natural light. Open living spaces intentionally capture natural light from multiple directions, highlighting the changing light throughout the day and seasons. Casual and livable, the first floor flows from an open-entry foyer. A barreled family room provides long vistas toward a rolling stream at the rear of the property.

The home fills every allowable inch of a corner site, making room for a small cabana house and pool in the rear yard. An open-concept kitchen, dining, and family room overlook the patio and pool space. The exterior design highlights clean lines. The interior design is sleek and modern, and a wide-plank oak floor is warming. The overall design exudes contemporary styling without breaking from its traditional setting.

OVERALL HOME

Sweeping roof lines, overhang extensions, wood brackets, box-out windows, and trim surrounds set this home’s traditional details. The front entry, hidden from the street, reveals itself during the arrival procession, which takes visitors into the heart of the site. An arrival court includes a covered front entry porch; the soaring windows of a stair tower and a stone chimney are eye-catchers. Easy and flowing describe the interior spaces.
