Michigan Getaway. One house for a family that lives far apart.

Together when they want. Apart when they need to be.

The house is organized around open, shared spaces and multiple places to entertain, balanced by private rooms where each branch of the family can settle in.

When the younger siblings and cousins are tuckered out from a day of family fun, the bunk room has eight beds, with openings between them for sharing their favorite part of the day.

The project

A great room built for gathering.

The Great Room is a large beamed and vaulted space, perfect for watching the game, having a cocktail in front of the fire, or sharing a meal with the whole family.

Out back, a covered patio with a fireplace and a pool extend the house into the garden.
