Muiron is one of Visbeen Architects’ most successful remodels. When the client decided to move in full-time, they hired Visbeen Architects to re-imagine the house more thoroughly. They asked for beauty, function, excellent indoor-outdoor living, and a spectacular kitchen for entertaining. And so, the firm set out to grow the home while maintaining the integrity of the midcentury aesthetic.

The best way to describe Holloway is “mid-century modern meets contemporary farmhouse.” For this home, Visbeen Architects utilized a midcentury architectural staple: the tri-level layout.

Honeycroft is a beautiful example of multi-purpose design. The house is intentionally sited into the landscape, with nods to Prairie-style architecture. 14-foot ceilings and clerestory windows flood the interior with natural light. A gourmet kitchen was designed to accommodate gatherings, along with a butler’s pantry and a secondary working kitchen. Phantom Screens on the porch, plus an additional door wall, make it possible to expand the living room by 16 feet or shrink it for a smaller group. Clever solutions make the home flexible for both parties and the clients’ everyday living.

This Grand Rapids, MI home pushes the creative envelope by using glass, horizontal rooflines, and an open, communal interior.

Many contemporary moments are incorporated into the traditional styling.

This unique project was one home designed for two families. The goal was to make the space functional for both families while preserving the integrity of the design. The result is a clean yet aggressive design emphasizing comfortable living for both parents and kids. Dual owner suites are situated on the main level with access to gorgeous views and outdoor living spaces. The cottage also offers plenty of bedrooms for the children on a separate level along with a variety of areas to gather, relax, and enjoy recreation.

Symmetry and traditional sensibilities drive Ellerton’s stately style.

In all rooms, preferential treatment is given to maximize exposure to the rear yard, making this a perfect lakefront home.

This large estate house was carefully crafted to compliment the rolling hillsides of the Midwest.

Symmetrically designed exterior elevations are reinforced by a thoughtfully divided floor plan that separates entertainment and private spaces.

The Provincetown is a respectful modern take on the Lowcountry architectural genre. The curved, barreled entrance and foyer opens to the interior living spaces that extend through the covered patio to the outdoor pool beyond. Built into the landscape, the Provincetown takes advantage of its steep elevation to create a lower-level entertainment area featuring an exercise room, game room, theater, sauna, and bar space with a full walk-out tucked behind a retaining wall for added privacy.

This house is on Lake Huron’s Thunder Bay in Alpena, Michigan. The client’s love of hosting and affinity for cars drove many of the design requirements for this home, including the large number of guest suites, the plethora of entertainment spaces, and the incredible four-car garage with a translucent door system. The homeowners wanted a transitional, modern home featuring glass, clean lines, and open interiors.
