Inspiration for a coastal single-wall eat-in kitchen remodel in Orange County with flat-panel cabinets, white cabinets and an island

The exterior sets the tone for the coastal style that features durable fiber cement siding that will withstand the lakeshore elements, painted a unique shade of nautical blue with contrasting white trim. Michigan’s own Black River Ashlar and a standing seam roof done in champagne metallic further accentuate this waterfront home’s splendor. Photography by Chuck Heiney

The interior of the wharf cottage appears boat like and clad in tongue and groove Douglas fir. A small galley kitchen sits at the far end right. Nearby an open serving island, dining area and living area are all open to the soaring ceiling and custom fireplace. The fireplace consists of a 12,000# monolith carved to received a custom gas fireplace element. The chimney is cantilevered from the ceiling. The structural steel columns seen supporting the building from the exterior are thin and light. This lightness is enhanced by the taught stainless steel tie rods spanning the space.

An award-winning Lake Michigan lakefront retreat, designed by Visbeen Architects, Inc. and built by Insignia Homes in 2011. It won the Best Overall Home, Detroit Home Design Awards 2011 and features a large porch equipped with Phantom`s Executive motorized retractable screens, coupled with an expansive outdoor deck, to make outdoor entertaining a breeze. The screens' tracks, recessed into the porch columns, enable the screens to stay completely out of sight until needed.

Our clients were relocating from the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula and wanted to design a retirement home on their Lake Michigan property. The topography of their lot allowed for a walk out basement which is practically unheard of with how close they are to the water. Their view is fantastic, and the goal was of course to take advantage of the view from all three levels. The positioning of the windows on the main and upper levels is such that you feel as if you are on a boat, water as far as the eye can see. They were striving for a Hamptons / Coastal, casual, architectural style. The finished product is just over 6,200 square feet and includes 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, sunroom, home bar, home gym, dedicated seasonal gear / equipment storage, table tennis game room, sauna, and bonus room above the attached garage. All the exterior finishes are low maintenance, vinyl, and composite materials to withstand the blowing sands from the Lake Michigan shoreline.
