The Owners of a home that had been consumed by the moving dunes of Lake Michigan wanted a home that would not only stand the test of aesthetic time, but survive the vicissitudes of the environment. With the assistance of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality as well as the consulting civil engineer and the City of Grand Haven Zoning Department, a soil stabilization site plan was developed based on raising the new home’s main floor elevation by almost three feet, implementing erosion studies, screen walls and planting indigenous, drought tolerant xeriscaping. The screen walls, as well as the low profile of the home and the use of sand trapping marrum beachgrass all help to create a wind shadow buffer around the home and reduce blowing sand erosion and accretion. The Owners wanted to minimize the stylistic baggage which consumes most “cottage” residences, and with the Architect created a home with simple lines focused on the view and the natural environment. Sustainable energy requirements on a budget directed the design decisions regarding the SIPs panel insulation, energy systems, roof shading, other insulation systems, lighting and detailing. Easily constructed and linear, the home harkens back to mid century modern pavilions with present day environmental sensitivities and harmony with the site. James Yochum

We are absolutely thrilled to share the finished photos of this year's Homearama we were lucky to be apart of thanks to G.A. White Homes. This week we will be sharing the kitchen, pantry, and living area. All of these spaces use Marsh Furniture's Apex door style to create a uniquely clean and modern living space. The Apex door style is very minimal making it the perfect cabinet to showcase statement pieces like a stunning counter top or floating shelves. The muted color palette of whites and grays help the home look even more open and airy. Designer: Aaron Mauk

Elevate the style of your home with the sophisticated look of a walnut veneer slab door. Its awe-inspiring wood grain pattern adds a touch of elegance to your space, while the modern design brings a fresh and contemporary feel. For a truly chic look, pair the door with a metallic backsplash that reflects light and adds an industrial edge to your kitchen or bathroom. To complement the natural beauty of the walnut, consider using a classic white countertop to create a bright and airy ambiance. The 3" Quartz countertops are a perfect contrast to the darker rye stained walnut. Cabinets are Shiloh, horizontal quarter cut walnut, in the rye finish. Countertops are Everest White Quartz with a custom 3" square edge detail. Backsplash is Arizona Tile stainless steel arabesque, mixed with white subway tiles.
