4100 square foot custom home. Very open plan, 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, plus office, plus movie room. This home has it all

We designed a semi covered seating area at the bottom of the garden - great for relaxing in the summer sunshine with friends and family.

Beautiful back patio covered with a cedar trellis. Built by Texas Fine Home Builders, Houston

Designed by Eric Rawlings, AIA, LEED AP and construction/ interior design coordinated by owner, Elinore Tate. A lap pool flanks the side of the house like a canal in Venice, Italy. The end of the pool opens up into a larger bathing area.

With a complete gut and remodel, this home was taken from a dated, traditional style to a contemporary home with a lighter and fresher aesthetic. The interior space was organized to take better advantage of the sweeping views of Lake Michigan. Existing exterior elements were mixed with newer materials to create the unique design of the façade.
