A Royal Oak Home Built for Art, Light, and Living

Ferndale, MI

This airy and art-filled home began as a modest bungalow and was reimagined into a light-filled, open-plan sanctuary. Our creative and collaborative client invited us to design a space that would showcase her extensive collections and personal artwork while enhancing the flow and function of everyday living. The result—a home that’s been featured in numerous publications—is a testament to the power of meaningful design partnerships.
