This White Lake house underwent a remarkable transformation, both inside and out. The renovation involved a complete gutting of both levels, repositioning the kitchen, and removing interior walls and ceilings to create a more open, spacious layout. Outside, the landscape was completely redesigned, and the exterior was revitalized with a split-faced stone facade, metal accents, and clear cedar siding, giving the home a contemporary yet timeless appearance that’s virtually unrecognizable from its original form.

This cedar shingle-style boathouse garage is nestled into the shoreline of a large Michigan inland lake. The entire interior walls and diagonal ceiling boards are made of 1’ x 6” natural cypress. The composite automated floor system lowers below the water to launch the boat, but is raised flush with the floor level to allow for easy stowing, access, and maintenance.

In the early 20th century, this home on Gilbert Lake was built for a prominent community leader. The original siding was wide beveled cedar lap; new siding was special-ordered to match it. The stone mason, meanwhile, made sure the fieldstone matched the original. Windows were replaced or repaired, to improve their functionality, and mechanical systems were updated to improve efficiency. Unique features, like a horse trough, were maintained as special items.

Rugged beauty drew the owners to the property, but it also presented challenges, including rising lake levels and wildfire risk. Clad in sand-colored stucco, the house will be obscured by beach grass and junipers over time. A steel superstructure enables an ultra-thin roof with overhangs for passive solar design that can withstand gale-force winds and heavy snow loads. A courtyard offers refuge on windy days. Layers of light and an edited palette of materials and textures unify the interior.
