Cool Sh!t in Progress: Framing a Vision into Reality

In our last update, we shared the first glimpses of this extraordinary lakeside retreat as its foundation took shape—laying the groundwork for a home that blends luxury with the raw beauty of Lake Charlevoix. As framing progresses, we can truly see this vision take form.

With the structure rising, this home is no longer just an idea—it’s becoming a masterpiece. The framework now defines the scale and proportion of each space, outlining the grandeur of soaring ceilings, the warmth of intimate alcoves, and the seamless connection between interior and exterior living.

Every beam, every angle, every architectural element is placed with intention. Building in Northern Michigan presents its own set of challenges—especially in winter—but our team thrives on the opportunity to create in all conditions.

The precision of our framing ensures the structure’s longevity, while meticulous detailing guarantees that every future finish aligns with the home's overall vision. This stage is where our commitment to craftsmanship shines. The striking roofline, the seamless integration of distinctive architectural elements, and the meticulous planning lay the foundation for a home that transcends beauty—it’s designed for a lifetime.

In the coming weeks, this home will move from framing to enclosure. The installation of the roof and exterior walls will bring the next layer of refinement, providing protection from the elements while preparing the structure for the artistry of fine finishes. Stay tuned as this masterpiece continues to unfold.
