This once tight riverfront condo did not reflect the fun and open feel of the lively Detroit River below.

With a view this good, every room should have a front row seat, and that’s exactly what our focus was for this redesign. Adding a deep blue to the walls made for an open feel as it simply becomes a reflection of the water. 

The bright marble and pure white contrasts throughout allows for the space to feel open and spacious. Bringing walls down and embracing an open living area has made for a space that anyone would want to cozy up in or even better, entertain a group while enjoying the view and hustle and bustle below.

“They were easy to communicate with and followed through from start to finish. RLC knew my style better than I did and it showed in the designs they created.  They are talented and really listened to my need of functionality in a small space and they certainly delivered. I can’t wait to work on future projects with them.”
