The Lighting in this great room is layered in many different ways. From the trimless square accent lights in the wood above the dining table, to the uplights and cable lights integrated into the trusses the architectural lighting becomes one with the architecture. Decorative fixtures by the interior designer bring this over-scaled great room down to a human scale.

Decorative wood beams are architectural elements that are designed to add visual interest and character to a space. While they may mimic the appearance of structural wood beams, they are primarily used for decorative purposes rather than providing structural support. Decorative wood beams are often crafted from solid or engineered wood and come in a variety of designs, including hand-hewn, rough-sawn, and distressed finishes, to create the appearance of aged or antique wood. These beams are commonly used to highlight a room's architecture, add warmth and texture to ceilings, or create a rustic ambiance in both residential and commercial settings. Whether they are purely ornamental or used to conceal structural elements, decorative wood beams are a popular choice for interior design and can bring a touch of natural beauty to any space.

This 3200 square foot home features a maintenance free exterior of LP Smartside, corrugated aluminum roofing, and native prairie landscaping. The design of the structure is intended to mimic the architectural lines of classic farm buildings. The outdoor living areas are as important to this home as the interior spaces; covered and exposed porches, field stone patios and an enclosed screen porch all offer expansive views of the surrounding meadow and tree line. The home’s interior combines rustic timbers and soaring spaces which would have traditionally been reserved for the barn and outbuildings, with classic finishes customarily found in the family homestead. Walls of windows and cathedral ceilings invite the outdoors in. Locally sourced reclaimed posts and beams, wide plank white oak flooring and a Door County fieldstone fireplace juxtapose with classic white cabinetry and millwork, tongue and groove wainscoting and a color palate of softened paint hues, tiles and fabrics to create a completely unique Door County homestead.
