The master bath renovation in this Mid-Century Modern home maximized functionality and aesthetics while maintaining the original personality. Creating an open space was a challenge conquered through the innovative use of a Crowderslide© telescoping track door for the water closet and a Rev-a-shelf© pull-out storage unit. The trapezoid-like shape was embraced for the relocated curbless shower, which features a frameless glass door, stone niche shelves, a stone bench seat with waterfall edge and Deco tile. Floor space was increased by 10 percent by downsizing the double stud wall and using a non-traditional 19.25-inch-deep floating double vanity. The result is two centuries of styles beautifully merged.

Now that their children are grown, the backyard cottage owners wanted to downsize from their beautiful but too large house but they didn't want to leave their neighborhood and friends. So they contacted Bruce Parker of microhouse to assist in the design of their new small dream home behind their current house. The lot is small, less than 4,000 sq ft and the cottage had to take advantage of every available square inch, of the allowable 800 sq. ft., and work with limited opportunities for light and views.

After living in my motorhome for 2 years as a widowed guy I met a wonderful woman and asked her to Marry me. I was in the process of building a new shop in the middle of a small apple orchard to house my Motorhome (and myself), When I asked my honey to Marry me she asked where should we live...…..I said I would get back to her and some time later, this is how my shop morphed into a Shouse! We moved in on Thanksgiving weekend and love it, I hope you do as well. Photography by: Cascade Pro Media

Set within a postcard backdrop, on a local farm, this beautiful single floor home was a delight to build. Its personality brings a sense of modern architecture, combined with natural materials, to achieve a well balanced modern design that fits within Vermont’s natural beauty. Our clients were downsizing from a much larger home, and wanted to invest in a smaller footprint, with a focus on efficiency and details, rather than volume. The shell is a highly insulated and air sealed package that come from a reputable panelized company. In addition to the highly insulated envelope, triple glazed windows insured this home received passive rated blower door test. Clean lines, natural wood floors and beam work, as well as handmade cabinetry helped to give this project a very livable, warm and clean vibe.

Back when our clients were downsizing from their suburban family home to their light filled, inner-city apartment they asked us to work with them to “create a new, apartment-scaled home that is personal, warm and inviting.” We think they nailed it. There is not a corner they have not considered and made the most of nor an opportunity missed to give a space an upgrade for maximum joy and efficiency. One of our favourite things is the desk joinery. One bedroom has been converted to a media room and office and our clients had the great idea to turn the wardrobe into a WFH space. The joinery design is super functional and (we think) super cute!

Our clients wanted to downsize to a 2500 – 2800 square foot home. With grown children and one of them already retired, they wanted to design their final, forever home. Low maintenance exterior finishes with timeless detailing was important. They also wanted lots of windows to maximize the natural light and take advantage of their bird’s eye lake view. Another important design feature was sound dampening around all bathrooms, bedrooms, and floor systems to keep with the tranquil environment they were trying to create. They wanted open concept living with a master suite on the main floor and guest bedrooms for family visitors upstairs. The ample patio and yard space are also ideal for family gatherings and enjoying all that beautiful Northern Michigan has to offer.
