Shingle & Stone

A modern farmhouse compound that honors traditional craft while embracing contemporary living. This sprawling estate weaves together multiple wings beneath weathered cedar shake roofs, anchored by dramatic fieldstone chimneys that rise against the Michigan sky. The material palette tells a story of texture and warmth: natural wood siding in rich umber tones, expansive glass walls that dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape, and stone masonry that grounds the home to its site. Deep covered porches and sheltered outdoor rooms extend living space into the surrounding terrain. Our visualization captures the home across the arc of a day—from the crisp clarity of afternoon light revealing every shingle and stone, to the magic hour when interior warmth transforms the residence into a beacon on the landscape. The evening views, with their glowing windows reflected in the pool’s still surface, communicate what drawings alone cannot: the feeling of arrival, of home.
