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

Coastal Shingle Style on St. Andrew Bay Private Residence / Panama City Beach, Florida Architect: Eric Watson Builder: McIntosh-Myers Construction For this lovely Coastal Shingle–style home, E. F. San Juan supplied Loewen impact-rated windows and doors, E. F. San Juan Invincia® impact-rated custom mahogany entry doors, exterior board-and-batten siding, exterior shingles, and exterior trim and millwork. We also supplied all the interior doors, stair parts, paneling, mouldings, and millwork. Challenges: At over 10,000 square feet, the sheer size of this home—coupled with the extensive amount of materials we produced and provided—made for a great scheduling challenge. Another significant challenge for the E. F. San Juan team was the homeowner’s desire for an electronic locking system on numerous Invincia® doors we custom manufactured for the home. This was a first-time request for us, but a challenge we gladly accepted! Solution: We worked closely with the builder, Cliff Myers of McIntosh-Myers Construction, as well as the architect, Eric Watson, to ensure the timeliness of decisions as they related to the home’s critical production timeline. We also worked closely with our design engineer and the home’s engineer of record, Allen Barnes of Apex Engineering Group, to provide a solution that allowed for an electronic lock on our custom Invincia® mahogany doors. The completed home is a stunning example of coastal architecture that is as safe and secure as it is beautiful. --- Photography by Jack Gardner

This contemporary kitchen project was a complete transformation of an existing space in Potterspury, South Northamptonshire. We were very lucky with this project in as much as the room that is was to occupy was so stunning. This informed the clients brief for the kitchen. It had to work in harmony with the architecture of the room as sympathetically as possible as well as being a statement in its own right. The clients had seen some of our previous work and were torn between the clean look of a pure white kitchen and the warmth of the American Black Walnut. The White Aga was a definite must have but their concern was that in a timber kitchen it just wouldn’t sit right. In order to meet the brief we firstly looked at the material choices and decided to mix timber and white cabinetry very carefully to create a kitchen that incorporated the best of both elements. The layout of the kitchen was informed by the openings and the very symmetrical space. We placed the large island on the central axis directly below the main structural beams facing the window at the far end of the room. This visual line continues to the dining table beyond. By then using a structural steel base, we cantilevered the island away from the floor to give it a floating appearance. These decisions allowed the island to feel naturally placed as well as giving a visual wow! The positioning of the hob, bins, sink and wine cooler in the island also make it extremely functional and a real focus in the whole extension. The long outer run was kept at low level so as not to distract from the structural elements and lighting and gave us the opportunity to wrap the ovens in the quartz work surface creating another unique detail within the kitchen. To echo the ‘floating island’ the main sink run is also elevated, with the integrated dishwasher being concealed within the tall housing to the right hand side. This again reinforces the geometry of the design, while using the white cabinetry in the centre of the book matched Walnut tall cabinets helps to break the runs up the run and keeps the design ethos of the kitchen intact. The worktops were chosen to pick up the colour of the exposed stone work on the original house wall with he teal glass splashbacks add a welcome splash of colour to the refined palette. While being a very contemporary design, the materials and muted colours mean it will not date and will look stunning for many years to come.

This new house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood developed in the 1920’s, that is in transition, with new larger homes replacing the original modest-sized homes. The house is designed to be harmonious with its traditional neighbors, with divided lite windows, and hip roofs. The roofline of the shingled house steps down with the sloping property, keeping the house in scale with the neighborhood. The interior of the great room is oriented around a massive double-sided chimney, and opens to the south to an outdoor stone terrace and gardens. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

Modern living with ocean breezes __ This is another development project EdenLA assisted the client to finish quickly and for top dollar. The fun challenge of more contemporary spaces is how to make them warm and inviting while still maintaining the overall masculine appeal of their architecture. Water features, playful custom abstract art, unique furniture layouts, and warm stone and cabinetry decisions all helped to achieve that in this space. Beach Life Construction implemented the architect's indoor-outdoor flow on the top floor beautifully as well. __ Kim Pritchard Photography
