Georgetown
Georgetown successfully blends elements of Lowcountry architecture with Shingle Style into a single, unique design. It integrates iconic 12/12 pitch gables with large overhangs and deep porches, classic symmetry, a wide-open interior floor plan, and numerous outdoor patios to create cohesion with the landscape.
Springfield
Springfield captures the essence of Shingle style and traditional design. Situated on the beachfront of Lake Michigan in Saugatuck, Michigan, the home’s design emphasizes indoor/outdoor living, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the breathtaking lakeside environment. A pool enhances the family-oriented layout, offering a refreshing retreat with spectacular views.
Hickory Hill
This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance at the exterior reveals a simple story-and-a-half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with a cascading landing.
Kearney Hill
Perched on the shore of Lake Michigan, Kearney Hill replaced an existing cottage close to the homeowners’ hearts. The focal point is a massive, four-sided, wood-burning fireplace reminiscent of the original cottage hearth. Positioned at the center of the living space, it provides a beautiful foundation for the layout while allowing for unimpeded lake views.
Westchester
This Shingle and gambrel-style home was built for two well-researched doctors with a penchant for East Coast stylings. The stunning Lake Michigan front lot constrained the footprint to a strict 3,500 sq. ft. and required a “readily moveable” structure in case of shoreline erosion. Every inch of this allotted area was used to its highest potential.
Redmond
Redmond draws inspiration from Queen Anne and Victorian design styles, infused with modern accents to create a unique and elegant home. Located in South Haven, Michigan, just a short walk from the lake, the home offers historical charm and contemporary comfort. Vision Interiors' fabulous indoor finishes enhance the overall aesthetic, making each room a visual delight.
Ingleside
Designing a personal residence may be an architect’s most challenging task. With Ingleside, Wayne Visbeen set out to create an iconic, timeless home to showcase the craftsmanship and the quality of Visbeen Architects’ design work. The goal was to keep the spacious footprint efficient on a tight suburban lot.
