The Evans II is an alley load, ranch plan with approximately 1,666 square feet and an unfinished lower level (approximately 1,517 square feet). When entering this home, you will see a foyer, study, bedroom and full bath toward the front of the home. As you continue through the home, you will feel at home with the open-concept plan and the abundance of natural light being let through the large windows. The kitchen, dining area, and great room are open to each other providing comfortable living space. The foyer, kitchen, dining area, and great room will include engineered hardwood floors, while the bedrooms will be carpet and the laundry/baths will be ceramic tile. The owners suite is spacious with an attached owner's bath and large walk in closet. The options for this home include a fireplace, gourmet kitchen, third bedroom with a bath, a powder room at the study and finishing the basement. With a finished basement, you would gain two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a large rec room and storage space.

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

REGIONAL + URBAN DESIGN: Certificate of Merit PROJECT: Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish CLIENT: Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish ARCHITECTURE FIRM: Lami Grubb Architects, LP CONTRACTOR: Massaro Corporation ENGINEERS: Conway Engineering PHOTOGRAPHER: Jim Schafer Location Photography; Lami Grubb Architects, LP DESCRIPTION: After an exhaustive facility study of three flood-damaged worship sites, the majority of the parish properties were closed while the historic Saint Luke’s church site was renovated and expanded, creating one central worship location.
