Sawyer, MI 5,000 sf, 4 bed, 5 bath This residence offers the homeowner a rural sanctuary that merges pastoral aesthetics with contemporary biophilic design. Composed of three interconnected gabled volumes, the structure reinterprets traditional barn architecture through a minimalist lens. Metal-clad roofs and white corrugated façades artfully contrast with the leafy textures of curated plantings and native grasses, rooting the structure in the landscape while maintaining a crisp, modern profile. The design choreographs light, space, and flow. Operable window walls foster a multisensory connection to nature, framing expansive views of the landscape and flooding the interior with natural light. Transitional zones, including a glass-walled entry, transparent breezeways, and a covered patio, blur the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, reinforcing the home’s dialogue with the land.

“I interviewed four architecture firms and chose dSPACE because I was impressed with their ability to think through a complex project and simplify it. And, most importantly, because dSPACE had passion and were capable. I'm not a typical client because of my background in real-estate and construction -- I was building a team, and it worked extremely well. My project started as a raw space on the top floor of a condominium high-rise that was not designed to be a stand-alone apartment. There were mechanical and structural challenges, but it had some of the best bones in the city and I didn't want to pass that up. There were no financial surprises and that was delightful. I was trying to stick to a relatively modest budget. I know that in this type of project there is really no such thing, but we were able to deliver the project for less than 30% of my neighbor (who had a similar raw space). That difference really did come down to the thoughtful and innovative design that dSPACE delivered.”
