This weekend summer cottage was designed and built prior to me meeting the client for the first time. As a beach house my job was to make the home casual and ocean friendly for the family of four. Exposing the client to art was fun and exciting for both of us. I'm not sure which was more of a stretch for them, the contemporary paintings in the dining room or the Japanese screen from the 1800's.

Our clients were relocating from the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula and wanted to design a retirement home on their Lake Michigan property. The topography of their lot allowed for a walk out basement which is practically unheard of with how close they are to the water. Their view is fantastic, and the goal was of course to take advantage of the view from all three levels. The positioning of the windows on the main and upper levels is such that you feel as if you are on a boat, water as far as the eye can see. They were striving for a Hamptons / Coastal, casual, architectural style. The finished product is just over 6,200 square feet and includes 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, sunroom, home bar, home gym, dedicated seasonal gear / equipment storage, table tennis game room, sauna, and bonus room above the attached garage. All the exterior finishes are low maintenance, vinyl, and composite materials to withstand the blowing sands from the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Shingle Style Home featuring Bevolo Lighting. Perfect for a family, this shingle-style home offers ample play zones complemented by tucked-away areas. With the residence’s full scale only apparent from the back, Harrison Design’s concept optimizes water views. The living room connects with the open kitchen via the dining area, distinguished by its vaulted ceiling and expansive windows. An octagonal-shaped tower with a domed ceiling serves as an office and lounge. Much of the upstairs design is oriented toward the children, with a two-level recreation area, including an indoor climbing wall. A side wing offers a live-in suite for a nanny or grandparents.

A young growing family was looking for more space to house their needs and decided to add square footage to their home. They loved their neighborhood and location and wanted to add to their single story home with sensitivity to their neighborhood context and yet maintain the traditional style their home had. After multiple design iterations we landed on a design the clients loved. It required an additional planning review process since the house exceeded the maximum allowable square footage. The end result is a beautiful home that accommodates their needs and fits perfectly on their street.
