Visbeen ArchitectsSet on an inland lake in a West Michigan suburb, this masterpiece features the defining characteristics of mid-century modern design. Balance and symmetry pair with splayed roofs, large overhangs, and trapezoid windows to create a model 1950s-60s style. “This home is one of my favorites,” Wayne explained. “The floating rooflines are supported by towering chimneys almost make it epic—it’s going to be an instant classic.”
This home accommodates several of the owner’s passions; living on the lake, their love of automobiles, and hosting parties. A tranquil front courtyard greets guests and is flanked by a pair garages. Around the back, a series of patios provides plenty of spaces to enjoy the lake.
The layout gives preferential views to all of the entertaining spaces which are abundant in this design. Two separate living rooms flank a centrally located, open concept, kitchen and bar which creates an easy flowing living space from foyer to screened porch.
A luxurious and spacious master suite fills the upper level and provides the owners with a much-desired view of the lake without compromising privacy.
Putting an exclamation point on the home and the foyer is a floating, natural wood, stair featuring a glass enclosed wine cellar neatly tucked below the mid-landing.
CarsonSpeer BuildersThis mid-century modern was a full restoration back to this home's former glory. New cypress siding was installed to match the home's original appearance. New windows with period correct mulling and details were installed throughout the home. The entry door, with the operable center knob, was refinished and reused.

Vernon WentzThis complete remodel was crafted after the mid century modern and was an inspiration to photograph. The use of brick work, cedar, glass and metal on the outside was well thought out as its transition from the great room out flowed to make the interior and exterior seem as one. The home was built by Classic Urban Homes and photography by Vernon Wentz of Ad Imagery.

DK StudioOur team of Austin architects transformed a 1950s home into a mid-century modern retreat for this renovation and addition project. The retired couple who owns the house came to us seeking a design that would bring in natural light and accommodate their many hobbies while offering a modern and streamlined design. The original structure featured an awkward floor plan of choppy spaces divided by various step-downs and a central living area that felt dark and closed off from the outside. Our main goal was to bring in natural light and take advantage of the property’s fantastic backyard views of a peaceful creek. We raised interior floors to the same level, eliminating sunken rooms and step-downs to allow for a more open, free-flowing floor plan. To increase natural light, we changed the traditional hip roofline to a more modern single slope with clerestory windows that take advantage of treetop views. Additionally, we added all new windows strategically positioned to frame views of the backyard. A new open-concept kitchen and living area occupy the central home where previously underutilized rooms once sat. The kitchen features an oversized island, quartzite counters, and upper glass cabinets that mirror the clerestory windows of the room. Large sliding doors spill out to a new covered and raised deck that overlooks Shoal Creek and new backyard amenities, like a bocce ball court and paved walkways. Finally, we finished the home's exterior with durable and low-maintenance cement plank siding and a metal roof in a palette of neutral grays and whites. A bright red door creates a warm welcome to this newly renovated Austin home.
Sklar StudiosThe architectural, historic preservation for this MCM gem of a home gave detailed attention to everything from restoring and repairing the once painted over wood siding to, repairing the windows, and bringing back the iconic patio fin detail that had morphed through the years. This meticulous attention to detail per the architect earned the distinction of being formally recognized as a historic home and ultimately qualifying for the coveted California Mills act. With stretches of glass walls and a seamless flow from outside-in and and inside-out - the connection to the landscape design ties the property all together with a variety of spaces to either entertain, play, or relax.
