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.

The Gables was born when a client of Visbeen Architects asked for something exceptional on a small but personally significant lakefront lot. Unique solutions were employed to achieve their objective, including a 10-foot-deep lower level. This feat of engineering required a custom pump system to keep lake water out of the house but also made room for a home theater, family rooms, extra bedrooms, and additional entertainment areas, which were finished beautifully by Vision Interiors.

The clients wanted to build a lodge on the water that would capture their love of the contemporary. They envisioned a monochromatic design with black and red-toned woods. The Visbeen Architects team worked hard to achieve the client’s vision of a stately lodge with a contemporary feel using immaculate tectonic lines. The exterior is reminiscent of Arts & Crafts Revival’s exposed wood trim. The interior embraces simplicity, natural materials, and an expansive use of glass in a contemporary style.

One of Visbeen Architects’ most distinctive designs, this private home evokes the picturesque villages of Tuscany. The spacious footprint is spread across multiple buildings. There are many fireplaces and chimneys, a formal garden, and a working vineyard. The central courtyard features a motor court and bell tower, reminiscent of an old Italian church and used as an observatory. Ludowici Roof Tile baked high-quality, authentic clay tiles in their kilns to cover the vast square footage of roofs on the home.

This three-year design-build project put Visbeen Architects on the map for residential architecture. The clients’ international collection of antiques and original artwork features in every room of the home, creating a unique design challenge. The firm imagined a unifying central corridor running through the structure to establish cohesion. This “structural spine” has been repeated in many Visbeen Architects projects, providing a straight line for HVAC, centrally-located supporting walls, and shortened floor joists.

This contemporary home is compact and efficient yet equipped with an incredible amount of amenities. The layout features a generous island counter and outdoor dining. Staggering views of Lake Michigan prompted outdoor living spaces on every level of this waterfront home.
