Northern Michigan summers are best spent on the water. The family can now soak up the best time of the year in their wholly remodeled home on the shore of Lake Charlevoix. This beachfront infinity retreat offers unobstructed waterfront views from the living room thanks to a luxurious nano door. The wall of glass panes opens end to end to expose the glistening lake and an entrance to the porch. There, you are greeted by a stunning infinity edge pool, an outdoor kitchen, and award-winning landscaping completed by Drost Landscape. Inside, the home showcases Birchwood craftsmanship throughout. Our family of skilled carpenters built custom tongue and groove siding to adorn the walls. The one of a kind details don’t stop there. The basement displays a nine-foot fireplace designed and built specifically for the home to keep the family warm on chilly Northern Michigan evenings. They can curl up in front of the fire with a warm beverage from their wet bar. The bar features a jaw-dropping blue and tan marble countertop and backsplash. / Photo credit: Phoenix Photographic

This expansive covered patio defines high-end outdoor living. Alterra’s design+build team utilized a rich wood-plank ceiling and modern fans to create a temperature-controlled environment that feels like a true extension of the home. The seamless transition to the stone pool deck and the inclusion of automated screens ensure this space is functional year-round. By pairing comfortable lounge seating with architectural accents, our landscape architecture creates a premier venue for both relaxation and large-scale residential entertaining.

An inviting, low maintenance backyard is filled with activities for an active family. A volleyball/ badminton court, putting green, hot tub and fire pit surround a custom pool offering options year round in the Coastal Carolinas!

At the end of 2012, Danberry came across what was then a rundown home in the Casco Point neighborhood of Orono, in desperate need of some design help. A failed attempt by the previous owner to remodel it as an investment had left it abandoned for years. But when the Danberry’s got a glimpse of this diamond in the rough, they knew it had potential. The project included a completely remodeled kitchen, bathroom, basement and living room.

This client presented our designer, Calleigh, with a traditional aesthetic incorporating a large, L-shaped island as the inspiration for this full kitchen remodel. Paneled appliances create a seamless appearance, while the design of the glass door mullions is reflected in the island end panels to create a cohesive design. Creative storage solutions are both functional and decorative, elevating this space from practical to elegant. A custom-designed range hood adds the finishing touch, and the result is a beautiful space for the clients to make meals into memories for years to come.

Michelle had a small concrete patio provided by her builder. We built overtop of it and redesigned her step out of the house so it was larger and safer. We also built a nice paver patio big enough for furniture. We also added a fire pit, seat wall with end columns and lighting to extend the patio use well after dark. We then graded and sodded the yard for a finished look giving her and her family an area to entertain for years to come.

This carefully honed finish expertly balances smooth daily usability with the preservation of the stone's authentic, earthy porosity. The visual showcases the precision-cut drain geometry juxtaposed against millions of years of natural sedimentary texture, serving as a material reference for high-end architectural specification.

Luxury and beauty formed by pure crystal with 24% lead content; Luxor is blown by mouth and beveled in by our master artists into the shape of a circular or oval bowl. No machine or modern technology has been used in the creation of this exquisite wash basin. Luxor is the product of the collective knowledge of crystal making acquired through years of ancient and noble glass arts. The cut glass creates a rectangular grid pattern on the outside and it is polished by hand on the inside for a smooth and hygienic surface.

They had an Apartment in Tokyo. They had an Estate in Dallas. But what they really wanted was to be, "At the Lake". So they bought a contractor-built house nestled by a pristine Lake. They Sighed at the beautiful view. They Sighed at the inside of the house. They wanted it to feel more like them, more like a home. SO... they called HOM. After just 3 Meetings all agreed on what to do! Make it Warm, Modern, Cozy, and Striking. The Family left for Tokyo. And HOM. went to work. HOM. added a New Metal Railing. HOM. added reclaimed wooden beams from nearby Barns. HOM. added Large Original Art Pieces that were interpretations of the Rocks in the nearby Stream running through their Property. HOM. added multi-functional seating. More Dramatic Lighting. Accessories that were personal but did not over “ooze” the Lake idea. It became a Personal HOM. A HOM. they wanted, “At the Lake”. When the Family returned from Tokyo for a Thanksgiving Gathering, all were stunned. They now had, at last, a HOM. “At the Lake”. Two Years later... One of the daughters was getting married. The Parents offered to throw her wedding anywhere in the world she would like. Her answer was, I want to get married... "At the Lake".
