Coventry blends traditional and farmhouse design styles to create a warm and inviting home. The open kitchen and dining space has a butler's pantry and butcher block prep counter. This area also offers access to a three-season porch, perfect for enjoying the outdoors in comfort.

This two-story, modern farmhouse is located on a narrow corner infill lot in historic downtown Holland, Michigan. The property is hemmed in by the street on one side, with a shared alley at the rear. This positioning drove the design of the two main exterior facades. The challenge was creating a charming cottage-style aesthetic with a beautiful front porch and a coherent roofline on such a narrow structure.

This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance at the exterior reveals a simple story-and-a-half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with a cascading landing.

Honeycroft is a beautiful example of multi-purpose design. The house is intentionally sited into the landscape, with nods to Prairie-style architecture. 14-foot ceilings and clerestory windows flood the interior with natural light. A gourmet kitchen was designed to accommodate gatherings, along with a butler’s pantry and a secondary working kitchen. Phantom Screens on the porch, plus an additional door wall, make it possible to expand the living room by 16 feet or shrink it for a smaller group. Clever solutions make the home flexible for both parties and the clients’ everyday living.

Perched on the shore of Lake Michigan, Kearney Hill replaced an existing cottage close to the homeowners’ hearts. The focal point is a massive, four-sided, wood-burning fireplace reminiscent of the original cottage hearth. Positioned at the center of the living space, it provides a beautiful foundation for the layout while allowing for unimpeded lake views.

This Grand Rapids, MI home pushes the creative envelope by using glass, horizontal rooflines, and an open, communal interior. The central front entry and great room expand into all-glass back wall and outdoor living spaces. Positioned front and center, a windowed 14-foot-wide stair tower floods light onto three levels of the home. The design is well-organized, embracing clean lines and clutter-free interiors. Many contemporary moments are incorporated into the traditional styling.
