Coastal Residence

Inspired by the homeowners’ love of water, this residence is filled with subtle nautical touches and accents that emphasize the home’s unobstructed Lake Michigan views. Throughout the home, various shades of rich blue hues are used as an accent against shiplap walls. Layered materials—including metal, twine, and rope—are a sophisticated continuation of the nautical theme and add depth to the design. The lower-level of the home has a touch of whimsy with a neon “Rosé All Day” sign and a pool table, dart board, wet bar, and TV room. The result is a home as suited for the couple’s everyday needs as it is for their love of entertaining.

Sight lines—between spaces and out to the lake views beyond—were a priority of the design, accentuated by the neutral palette and streamlined furnishings.
