Maximus is a thoughtfully designed home that reflects Visbeen Architects’ expertise in navigating complex urban design challenges. Located on a narrow infill lot in East Grand Rapids, MI, this project overcame strict zoning requirements to create a three-story contemporary design that seamlessly balances functionality, aesthetics, and luxury. Maximus is not just a home; it’s a reflection of creative problem-solving and a commitment to quality in every detail.

Knightswood features a double-sided fireplace, two garages, screened porch with stone fireplace, and ample entertainment space.
