Award Winning Office Renovation
Commercial Office Renovation & Addition - Detroit Home Design Award Winner in Commercial Building/Architecture category.
The exterior renovation of this building was uniquely designed to be a landmark in its charming downtown setting. Dormers were removed, the roof raised and the second floor expanded on all sides to double the work space of the original bungalow-style office building. A two story foyer addition constructed on an angle, welcomes clients at the street level with a timber framed front porch and craftsman style door which is framed with period natural gas lanterns. On the opposite corner of the building, a circular porch with turret style standing seam metal roof, balances the design and adds a timeless touch. Offices, a conference room and a designer showroom were added to the second floor. The new addition is wrapped in windows to provide fabulous views of the pond across the street. The windows above the entry also provide a head turning view of the open timber trusses in the conference room upstairs, which are lit with nostalgic Edison style pendants in the evening and can be seen from Main Street below. The building is finished in warm gray horizontal and shake siding, and accented with crisp white trim. Natural stone anchors the side walls and accentuates the entrance. Architecturally stunning and visually spectacular, this building stands out as a fabulous example of timeless design that looks stylish and sophisticated, and feels vintage and historic. A perfect fit in the small town neighborhood! Milford, Michigan Detroit Home Design Award Winner in Commercial Building/Architecture category.
