The 'not-so-small' House

This new home over looking the bay on the north east side of Petoskey, MI. is quite a bundle of design. At only 2100 sq. ft. on the first floor, it is much more than it appears. It has a lower level front entry and storage space capable of finishing into what ever the future requires. The first floor, which over hangs the lower level several feet to maximize the buildable area of this small corner lot, holds a spacious home, complete with 3 bedrooms and an enclosed garage. Its low roof and prairie profile nestle it unobtrusively in its hillside perch.

The Carriage House

This carriage house near Jones Landing on Walloon Lake, is a fine example of blending a new structure to an existing complex. With its overstated columns, arched windows and vaulted overhangs, it is an adaptation of the animated design detail which was present through out the home.

Carriage House and More

This Carriage house on Torch lake is designed to accommodate the storage for all the fun toys needed at a lake house. With a four car garage and a spacious work shop on the second floor, this carriage house has room to spare. The first and second floors were both designed to clear span the spaces for maximum versatility. A covered entry give ways to a mudroom and bathroom on the first floor.
