LAKE HOUSE PROJECT

The intent of renovating this beautiful Michigan lake home was to create an ‘East Coast Sea Captain’s Home’. The design called for adding 5,500 square feet to an existing 2,000 square foot home. “This project has 80 window and door openings in a part of the country that experiences punishing weather conditions,” said builder David Gruetzmacher. “The owners were able to watch the construction and make design changes as the home materialized. Quick window and door lead times, availability and delivery was crucial.”
