Case Study
Photographs BY Brett Mountain Unless Otherwise Noted
Our clients, the Mette family, came to us with hopes of designing their dream master suite in their newly restructured and lifted family dream home on Walled Lake with a nautical yet sophisticated twist. Despite the many upsides to the space, their bedroom included one obvious obstacle–an unsightly protrusion in the corner of their room caused by the build-out of the space and staircase below.
Our proposed solution was a custom millwork detail that not only encapsulates the intrusion but also offers additional storage, all without interrupting the gorgeous view of the patio that overlooks the lake. Each side of the built-in holds a his and hers closet with a stack of drawers to the right side, and additional drawers on the platform bed, resulting in more storage than the homeowners ever thought possible.
The final element that was really important to our client was incorporating a sophisticated and subtle visual that was inspired by living on the lake (without being theatrical or kitschy). We ran with this theme by accenting their headboard with a deep, aquatic teal, inspired by the water views outside.
Additional thought was taken to incorporate the gorgeous warm tones of the existing beams into the niches on either side of the bed which act as nightstands including convenient access to power for charging electronics overnight.
