TRADITIONAL RENOVATION


Traditional Renovation
Ann Arbor, Michigan


Design Description

This 3,000 square foot addition was designed to complement the existing 6,000 square foot contemporary Prairie-style-inspired residence. The addition is seamless, with exacting attention given to perfectly matching the original brick, and blending the simple linear lines, deep-overhanging eaves, and extensive porches of the existing and new architecture. A home theater/ club room was designed for hosting football parties, poker nights, movie nights, and specialty events. It features a state-of-the-art, surround-sound, media entertainment system with a built-in television and 132” drop-down projection screen, and electrically-controlled room darkening shades to create the ultimate home-theater experience. Custom and exquisitely-detailed, walnut-stained millwork creates the ambiance of an English gentleman’s club room. The resort-style bar in this club room is custom milled with a high-gloss epoxy walnut countertop with built-in custom cabinetry to accommodate an under-counter refrigerator, ice maker, fully-stocked bar, and storage for easy entertaining. The paneled, coffered ceiling creates a grid system to accommodate the surround-sound acoustic ceiling fabric panels, while the panel millwork on the walls incorporates speakers and a hidden panel to access the electronics. The addition also features an exquisite resort-style spa room, equipped with a professional massage table, pedicure station, and a large steam room, as well as a private bath with shower and dressing area. The space is exquisitely beautiful with Sicis Italian glass mosaic tiles installed on the floor and walls to create an upscale and tranquil ambiance. The visual focal point of the spa space is an exquisite lotus-flower mural of Sicis glass mosaic tiles installed on the entrance wall of the spa. French doors open directly to a tranquil, secluded Asian-inspired meditation area of the 100-acre-garden landscape that surrounds the property, and to an Asian-inspired hot tub which creates a place to interact with the natural environment. The addition also accommodates two large guest-bedroom suites, each with a luxury ensuite bathroom with jetted tubs, large showers, and coffee-bars.
