Intersecting volumes of grey brick and cypress wood rain screen define the house. Zinc cladding and trim is used on both volumes to unify the composition. Together these three materials give the house a deep, rich palette that is both approachable and awe inspiring. Photo by Jack Thompson Photography

The Eagle Harbor Cabin is located on a wooded waterfront property on Lake Superior, at the northerly edge of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, about 300 miles northeast of Minneapolis. The wooded 3-acre site features the rocky shoreline of Lake Superior, a lake that sometimes behaves like the ocean. The 2,000 SF cabin cantilevers out toward the water, with a 40-ft. long glass wall facing the spectacular beauty of the lake. The cabin is composed of two simple volumes: a large open living/dining/kitchen space with an open timber ceiling structure and a 2-story “bedroom tower,” with the kids’ bedroom on the ground floor and the parents’ bedroom stacked above. The interior spaces are wood paneled, with exposed framing in the ceiling. The cabinets use PLYBOO, a FSC-certified bamboo product, with mahogany end panels. The use of mahogany is repeated in the custom mahogany/steel curvilinear dining table and in the custom mahogany coffee table. The cabin has a simple, elemental quality that is enhanced by custom touches such as the curvilinear maple entry screen and the custom furniture pieces. The cabin utilizes native Michigan hardwoods such as maple and birch. The exterior of the cabin is clad in corrugated metal siding, offset by the tall fireplace mass of Montana ledgestone at the east end. The house has a number of sustainable or “green” building features, including 2x8 construction (40% greater insulation value); generous glass areas to provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs for sun and snow protection; and metal siding for maximum durability. Sustainable interior finish materials include bamboo/plywood cabinets, linoleum floors, locally-grown maple flooring and birch paneling, and low-VOC paints.

Wraparound extension The client brought the house and land in 2019 and was excited about it’s development potential. A five bedroomed detached family home, with 0.75 acres of land. Positioned on a road with just three other houses in a semi rural location, this property was perfect for a large scale remodel. We essentially built around the original property encasing it inside. This allowed the client to remain living in it with minimal disruption. Interior The house had a complete remodel inside. Air source heating, underfloor heating and resin floors. We constructed a double storey extension – 2 bedroom annexe to the side for his mother. Exterior Several outbuildings to the rear including gym, sauna and bar and outdoor swimming pool with resin bound surrounds. An additional self contained 2 bedroom lodge ( built offsite by Liberty design and build and transported into position). At the front we built a double storey triple garage with rooms above including cinema room, office and a two car garage. Zinc standing seam cladding encapsulated the rear and side elevation, sedum roofs, septic tank installation and extensive landscaping works.

This beautiful property in Ide Hill, Sevenoaks has had a complete renovation. Extensive internal reconfigurations were made and a single storey side extension created with the lovely addition of a wildflower green roof. New stair access was required by the client and we achieved this by a two storey infill extension. There has also been extensive landscaping including a new driveway, patio and new swimming pool reconfiguration, with an upgraded pool house. It was important to the client to have sustainable energy sources such as solar panels and air source heat pumps and we worked with them closely to achieve that. The annexe building on the grounds of the property was also upgraded for family use. There are spectacular views over the fields beyond and the appreciation for this beautiful landscape has been brought back into the design. A truly stunning project within the Greenbelt.
