This gorgeous one story modern farmhouse is one of our consistent BEST SELLERS. The Chelci is a customer-built, modified version of THD-8516 - The Walden. From its split bedrooms providing privacy for rest and all the way to the potential expansion of an additional 471 sq.ft. of bonus space above the garage, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath 2,188 s.f. design couldn’t be more family friendly. Entering the casual foyer, the space is immediately airy with an almost 19 feet ceiling. The open concept space is full of natural light and the vaulted ceilings with wood beams emphasize the true “greatness” of the room. The gas fireplace provides quick cozyness. The covered porch serves as additional space for dining al fresco or enjoying family for a weekend of bbq and fellowship with its outdoor “kitchen.” The cook of the home will be thrilled with the huge walk-in pantry and the charming window over the kitchen sink will provide many memories of watching the kiddos play in the backyard. The split bedrooms are ideal for a family with children, especially the way this design provides even more buffering with the two hallways off the bedroom spaces. The right side of the home has both secondary bedrooms that share a compartmentalized jack-n-jill bathroom complete with a shower/tub combo. The right side of the home provides entrance from the 2 car garage directly into the “drop zone” of the home with a small built-in locker area, the powder bath, and the laundry room complete with a utility sink and built-ins for organization. The vaulted master retreat has a spa bathroom with a stand alone tub, large shower and dual vanities. The huge walk-in closet has a convenient pocket door as a second entrance to the laundry room.

Situated on a large, picturesque lot surrounded by lush, mature trees, this project in Ann Arbor, MI, aimed to create a multi-generational home designed for family members of all ages to live harmoniously under one roof. Primary and secondary spaces were carefully planned and added to support the evolving needs of the household, creating separate wings in response to the different ages and lifestyles; Aging in place on the 1st floor, children and private office spaces on the 2nd floor to respond to the clients working from home. Key modifications to the first-floor layout were made to alleviate congestion, support the concept of “aging in place” and improve circulation in high-traffic areas, ensuring comfort and ease of movement throughout the home. The project included enlarging the existing garage, adding a new family room on the first floor, adding a new formal entry and mudroom, enlarging the living room, renovating the current 1st-floor en-suite for Aging in place, and adding a modern stair tower to the newly added 2nd-floor. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms, a home office and a fully new en-suite that accentuates the views from the backyard. An abundance of expansive windows helps to blur the line between the natural and built environments, pulling in lots of natural light through the house. To help with the transformation from a traditional ranch to a modern 2-story, the roof line was designed as an abstraction of the original roof elements/slopes. The clients’ “new” home embodies both function and beauty, offering flexibility for future growth while creating a visually stunning composition of spaces.

The renovation of the project included a main floor renovation which included a brand-new kitchen and a sunroom addition. This renovation revised the space in the kitchen area by removing a load-bearing wall and relocating the mechanical and electrical systems inside. This freed up space and allowed for a more open design in the kitchen area. The client had several requests for this project, including large windows to allow maximum natural light. This idea was further added upon by adding sun tunnels in the roof for even more light. The sunroom also features a custom deck on the back of the house with aluminum handrails. The addition to the house was to have its own air conditioning system with custom ceiling tray detailing with crown moulding. This also served to hide the attic hatch with millwork finish. Besides, the sunroom space was designed as both a living room and extra dining space. During the pandemic, it also served as an office and home work hub for their children. What makes this project appealing is the enhanced natural light being brought into the spaces through large windows and sun tunnels. Other enhancements include a large-scale hexagonal mosaic in marble-looking material to add texture to the wall, as well as the use of accent panels to extend custom hood cabinets to the ceiling. Next, the island in the kitchen can seat 4 comfortably enhancing the usefulness of the space. The colours chosen for the kitchen include off white slab doors and deep rich wood accents and island. The hardware is brushed nickel as well as the light fixture, all to match the plumbing fixtures. Around the walls in the sunroom is custom wainscotting using millwork and casing. Special work was done on the ceiling, by concealing the beams with bulkheads and then angling them to match the existing bulkheads in the kitchen and original dining room. Besides, a custom appliance garage corner cabinet sits on the countertop which offers convenience and efficiency. The size of the island was maximized to get the most storage space out of it, including a pull-out spice rack and a space for a wine fridge. The unique transition between tile and hardwood was done out of necessity, as the sitting stools had to sit on only one medium. Plus, it is a unique way to transition from two different flooring materials! The unique challenges of this project include the wood to tile interface. This was required for the sitting stools to rest on only one medium. This design feature turned out to be an attractive solution to the design problem. This solution was also used at the patio door entrance. The plumbing in this project was challenging since it connected to an existing reverse osmosis system. There was a large beam in the kitchen ceiling which interfered with lighting placement. Additionally, picking a complimentary wood colour which would go with the existing flooring was challenging. The overall design of the addition took extra time to make the space well-used as the lot itself was an irregular shape.

Michelle reimagined the space and created a fully open-plan layout with beautiful proportions. This design was thoughtfully crafted for an active family with grown children who love to entertain. To foster a more social and connected environment, the wall separating the kitchen and dining room was removed, creating a seamless, open-concept layout ideal for gatherings. The living room was reimagined to function as both an elegant entertaining space and a comfortable family retreat. A sophisticated neutral color palette is elevated by accents of blue and gold, adding depth and visual interest. At the heart of the dining area is a generously sized table, perfect for hosting. It comfortably seats eight, with the flexibility to accommodate four additional guests using stylish, portable chairs—ensuring everyone has a place at the table during celebrations and special occasions.

Once their basement remodel was finished they decided that wasn't stressful enough... they needed to tackle every square inch on the main floor. I joke, but this is not for the faint of heart. Being without a kitchen is a major inconvenience, especially with children. The transformation is a completely different house. The new floors lighten and the kitchen layout is so much more function and spacious. The addition in built-ins with a coffee bar in the kitchen makes the space seem very high end. The removal of the closet in the back entry and conversion into a built-in locker unit is one of our favorite and most widely done spaces, and for good reason. The cute little powder is completely updated and is perfect for guests and the daily use of homeowners. The homeowners did some work themselves, some with their subcontractors, and the rest with our general contractor, Tschida Construction.
