Cosmopolitan Home Grand Rapids: Lakefront Luxury & The Test of Time

The late Fall issue of Cosmopolitan Home Magazine - Grand Rapids is chock full of Visbeen Architects' designs!  The cover story titled, "Lakefront Luxury," gives a pictorial tour and the story behind the extensive renovation of an award-winning summer cottage on Whitefish Lake we call the Meadowview.  We were brought into the project by Creeekside Construction to turn the exterior areas into premium outdoor living spaces.

You will also find one of our oldie-but-goodie designs standing "The Test of Time."  Although it was built eleven years ago, the exterior and interior details as well as handcrafted features of Torrey Pines still have the timeless appeal as the day it was built.  And we agree with the writer - "well crafted" is an understatement for this home!

Check out both articles in the publication on our website here.

Grand Rapids Cosmopolitan Home: Space to Play

In their late summer issue from last month, Grand Rapids Cosmopolitan Home Magazine did a cover feature story on one of our designs, the Andover.  The homeowner said, about their experience designing a home with Visbeen Architects, "I met with Wayne to talk about what I had in mind and he took it from there.  He immediately started sketching while I talked, and eventually came up with this design.  He is truly an artist."  Check out the full story and photos of this great home with "space to play."

A job well done to the entire team that brought the design to life!
