This unique project was one home designed for two families. The goal was to make the space functional for both families while preserving the integrity of the design. The result is a clean yet aggressive design emphasizing comfortable living for both parents and kids. Dual owner suites are situated on the main level with access to gorgeous views and outdoor living spaces. The cottage also offers plenty of bedrooms for the children on a separate level along with a variety of areas to gather, relax, and enjoy recreation.

This house is on Lake Huron’s Thunder Bay in Alpena, Michigan. The client’s love of hosting and affinity for cars drove many of the design requirements for this home, including the large number of guest suites, the plethora of entertainment spaces, and the incredible four-car garage with a translucent door system. The homeowners wanted a transitional, modern home featuring glass, clean lines, and open interiors.
