Homeowners Sweet Homeowners I have a place in my heart for the homeowners who open their homes for our two annual tours, the Northern Home & Cottage Tour (Saturday, September 13, 2014) and the Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour (Saturday, October 18, 2014). Clearing out of their homes for a whole day so that strangers can have a look-see is a lot to ask. I wonder myself sometimes why anyone would go to that trouble. I hear the answers, however, soon after I meet prospective tour homeowners. It usually goes something like this: I’ve barely taken my coat off and they are exclaiming things like, “We love our builder!” or “We just couldn’t have done it without our design-

er.” Put simply, our homeowners want to help the folks who helped them into such fabulous homes.

There is no doubt that building or renovating a home in Northern Michigan is a pretty special process. We have some of the most talented and service-oriented design and build professionals in the country working in this region. We also have one of the most stunning landscapes in the world to build in. Add to that potent combination, the fact that our tours benefit Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan, an organization that does crucial work for our region’s children. Our gener-

As you’ll read on page 11, the 2014 Northern Home & Cottage Tour is going to be an adventure in design cloaked in gorgeous scenery—largely courtesy of our homeowners. Please join me in thanking them. And then meet me on the tour.

HOME TOUR

Welcome to the third annual Northern Home & Cottage Tour: Saturday, September 13, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The 2014 Northern Home & Cottage Tour treats tour-goers to 10 distinctive homes, all set in Northern Michigan’s breathtaking landscape. This year’s tour runs a gamut of fascinating home styles from ultra modern to the epic timberand-stone masterpiece, Pine Hollow— and many more in between. Turn the pages for a complete guide to the homes on the tour.

The tour begins on the shores of stunning Torch Lake, wends over to the Lake Michigan harbor town of Elk Rapids and then on to loop Old Mission Peninsula. From there, it is out to the Leelanau Peninsula and Long Lake with a grand finale in Traverse City. Even if there weren’t 10 fabulous

homes to see along the way, the route of this tour alone is worth the drive!

Beyond dripping with scenic vistas, the route is packed with wonderful restaurants. Make the day complete by planning your eat-stops along the way using the dining guide in this issue of Traverse Magazine or our online

Restaurant Guide at MyNorth.com.

We are grateful to the homeowners who have so generously opened their homes for this tour that benefits Child & Family Services of Northwestern Michigan. Established in the 1930s, this organization provides crucial services to the children and families of our region.

the exterior using a combination of cedar shake, dimensional chalet buff stone of varying size and thickness, mahogany doors and cedar eaves and fascia. A wavy steel roof finished in asphalt looks like tile, but will endure much longer.

A balcony set under a gable above the front entrance is framed in tapered columns and an eyebrow beam. With its wrought iron railing, well, fraai !

The inside parlays the old country estate theme with hand-scraped cherry floors, distressed Douglas fir beams and built-ins made from barnwood taken off the Steenbliks’ own farm downstate. At the home’s center, the ceiling rises to a grand 20 feet with a matching glassed-in view of Torch Lake. A double-sided stone fireplace burns in both the great room and a mahogany-paneled library.

The finished walkout lower level is a oenophile’s dream—oh yes, other fine drinks are poured here too! Aaron fashioned a rounded bar out of a slab of hickory burl and mounted it on barrel-shaped maple planks. Three chalet buff stone alcoves faced with barn siding house glasses and beverage bottles. The wine cellar, tucked across the room, echoes the rustic stone and barn wood theme.

If you can pull yourself away from the bar and wine cellar, take time to admire the incredible, tiered lakeside grounds, a byproduct of Aaron working with Active Excavating and 365 Outdoor. As house #1 on our 2014 Northern Home & Cottage tour, the home we call European Accent begins the tour with an elegant bang.— E.E.

PHOTOS FROM THE COLLECTION OF LESLIE LEE. PHOTOGRAPHY BY HEDRICH BLESSING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Once upon a time there was a Northern Michigan cabin resort called Pine Hollow on the shores of Lake Michigan. A young girl summered there and never forgot the magic property woven of streams, ponds and 600 feet of shoreline. Many years later, she purchased the land and commissioned the design and construction of a home she felt worthy of the site—a home that she hoped would last, like a European castle, for hundreds, maybe even a thousand years. The warp and weft of what Leslie Lee envisioned would be stacked, carved, sculpted and honed from native Michigan materials—granite, glacier-scraped limestone and massive, ancient white oak. “… the embodiment of the geography and climate of our region’s fundamental elements,” Lee writes in her book, Sacred Space. In 2003 architect Roger Hummel began designing Pine Hollow. Over the course of the next seven years he and Lee would work with hundreds of Northern Michigan’s skilled craftsmen on the home. While Lee used the building as her home for a time, it is now the headquarters of the Pine Hollow Institute—a nonprofit dedicated to healing people and the planet.

The adventure of Pine Hollow begins at the moat that runs under the front entrance. Allow your sightline to follow the stream through the glassed-in entryway, to the pool and out to the Lake Michigan shore.

No doubt, exploring the 17,000-square-foot labyrinth of rooms (16 bathrooms, 12 bedrooms, wine cellar, chef-caliber kitchen), nooks, crannies and views, will be the high point of your 2014 Northern Home & Cottage Tour. Watch for whimsy at every turn—ladders that lead to lofts and down to bedrooms, kaleidoscope angles, nautical doors, a ladder from the pool that steps right into the locker room ….

The Architect When Roger Hummel took a seat at his drafting table to draw Pine Hollow into existence, he had already had a long and distinguished career of breaking ground in Northern Michigan. Fresh out of University of Michigan architecture school in the 1950s, he landed jobs with Traverse City’s principal architectural firms. But it was his partnership with Glenn Arai that formed the core of his career. Working side by side in the former4 Northern Home & Cottage

Suttons Bay cobblestone train depot they’d converted into an office, the architects rendered a number of Northern Michigan’s most signature residences. Long before they were buzz concepts, Arai and Hummel relied on native materials and site sensitivity to make harmonious, timeless statements.

Several years after Arai died in 1998, Roger began working with Leslie Lee on Pine Hollow. While Roger was used to working with

stone, timbers and fine detail, Pine Hollow challenged him to use them all on a grand scale. Recently retired, he speaks humbly of the epic job, worrying that the craftsmen who worked on it won’t get the credit they deserved: “What you tried to do is tie it all together but at the same time make little points of interest—but you always had to know where you were going with it,” he says simply of his part in the tale of Pine Hollow .— E.E.

across the street—it was in need of a makeover indeed! Working with Kim and Marc, Karen developed a plan for a new Brazilian tigerwood floor, opening up the kitchen to the great room and its floor-to-ceiling A-shaped view, and rejiggering walls to give her a lovely master bed and bath that look out on the wooded bluff behind the house. She brought Kim in specifically to help place her furniture in the new space, choose wallpaper, select lighting and to rescue a wall in the great room that was represented by a waste of space and a tacky gas fireplace in the corner.

Karen also scheduled a vacation in Florida, hoping the construction would be done.

The construction took longer than expected (no fault of Burkholder Construction, Karen is quick to add!) and the day Karen left for Florida her kitchen cupboards hadn’t arrived, her refrigerator was in her living

room sitting on the unfinished floor … Fast forward to her vacation’s end when she landed in Detroit, picked up her car at the airport and made the drive back to Traverse City. She turned into her driveway wondering why there were so many cars parked in the vacant lot next door … and then there was Kim, running out of her house to greet her with a glass of wine. Turns out, Kim had called five of Karen’s friends to join in a makeover reveal—candles, wine and all. It was HGTV done better. Marc and Kim had worked together to finish and arrange everything—right down to a new, stacked stone fireplace and furniture arrangement (which included moving a baby grand piano!).

As Karen was so thrilled to see that evening, her home is now an oasis of relaxed sophistication drenched in the serene ever-changing view of the bay. — E.E.

the years in a mumbo-jumbo of rooms and finish materials that lacked integrity. Its façade was just plain dumpy.

Enter owners Bill Premo and Pam Prairie who breathed handsome new life into it—a task that they say (often!) they never could have accomplished without Matt Wollam and his design and build firm. With4

It’s the kind of project people who love rescuing old buildings dream of: a humble, once proud farmhouse set near the tip of Old Mission Peninsula, past vineyards, orchards and cerulean views of Grand Traverse Bay, that just needed some style. Well, okay, a lot of style. Like so many early last-century homes, this one had been added on to over

his signature precision and fondness for the contemporary farmhouse style, Matt worked his way through a new plan for the farmhouse wall by wall, detail by detail. Exterior standouts include the addition of a cupola, a stately new front porch flanked by twin sets of square columns mounted on fieldstone bases and handsome gray cedar siding trimmed in white.

On the interior, Matt used faux barnwood beams in the ceiling and walnut-stained oak floors to evoke a farmhouse feel. He went on to open the cramped kitchen to allow for a prep and eating counter. Pam moved the blah 90s-era cabinetry to her workshop (the couple has lived just down the road) and went to work with antique black paint and new hardware—the result is a refurbish job that looks like high-end custom cabinetry. Milk-white subway tiles, Corian countertops and dove gray walls round out this handsome kitchen.

The living/dining room is a striking blend of a rustic shell outfitted with Pam and Bill’s sophisticated contemporary furnishings. A screened-in porch that looks out over the pasture and old barn punctuates this generous room. With its outdoor fireplace, the porch is a lovely transitional area to the bucolic grounds. Upstairs, Matt found space for a contemporary-sized master bedroom and luxurious bath. A bonus room over the garage means plenty of elbow space for houseguests and family. New windows throughout the home bathe the rooms in light—and increased energy efficiency.

Among the many details Pam and Bill won’t want tour-goers to leave without noticing are several beadboard-clad closets that Matt designed to fit in otherwise wasted space. The homeowners marvel at how perfectly period they look, while functioning as if they were modern—a description that, come to think of it, fits Matt’s style to a T. — E.E.

It doesn’t take much to wax sentimental about this renovation and posit that this Old Mission Peninsula barn had been waiting for the right owners to come along. Because, underneath its drywall and contemporary siding, the original circa 1890s timber frame barn was solid

as a rock right up to its roof when Anni Crouter and her husband, Nate Boggs, bought it. On their own, the pair is a pretty amazing build-anddesign-team. Nate loves to refurbish antique pieces, as in the first-ever (wooden) electric ringer washer-turned-bathroom vanity you’ll see in4

this house. Anni is a contemporary wildlife painter whose canvases and murals add drama to the home at every turn. (Also know that she came home from the prestigious Grand Rapids ArtPrize competition last fall with the second place prize of $75,000!) But add the guiding eye of interior designer Donald Hanz Isackson (of Wendy Carr Design) to pull

it all together, and Alex River of North Arrow Log Homes who skillfully cut out windows and spliced beams ‌ and this reno is over the top.

The Boggs-Crouter home isn't large, but there is so much to look at it feels very spacious. Walk in and look up—at the original barn ceiling and loft, and the intricate wrought iron antique railing from India. On4 Northern Home & Cottage

In the interior, natural light bounces off the Brazilian cherry hardwood floor creating a calm, Zen-like ambiance. “It is a house that is based on light,” the wife explains. “We never need lights on during the day—and we find ourselves following the sun. We see the bay and the sunrise from our bedroom. Our kitchen and dining areas are on the south side and our living room faces the setting sun to the west.”

Interior designer Kim Hooker of Cedar Creek Interiors played up the tranquility with a gentle pale green and taupe palette, then went on to pull together furnishings that include reclaimed iron-and-wood rustic pieces and4

TODD ZAWISTOWSKI

When they first set out to build their home atop a bluff south of Suttons Bay, the homeowners brought a wish list to architect Sarah Bourgeois. They were sure they wanted a Craftsman-style home and they were equally sure that they wanted as much natural light as possible. The couple soon found, however, that a traditional Craftsman with its signature emphasis on wood and detail was at odds with their craving for as much window area as possible. In response, Sarah guided their vision to a contemporary Arts & Crafts design with clean lines and generous banks of vertical windows.

The result of the architect-client dialogue is a shingled, low-to-theland structure with deep overhanging eaves. With its taupe shake siding,

dining chairs covered in twisted seagrass—a vibe she calls Asian farmhouse.

By grouping two pairs of contemporary club swivel chairs in the living room, Kim made it possible to take in the view out the window, chat with others in the room and watch the television and fireplace, all without changing seats.

Builder Dale Boone, kitchen designer Angella Goodall and landscaper Brian Zimmerman rounded out this talented team. Which is not to overlook 36

what the husband brought to this project—his passion for woodworking played out in, among other elements, an inspired rough-hewn mantel made from a hickory tree that once stood in the yard of their former home. And, too, a Frank Lloyd Wright-esque cherry staircase railing that any disciple of early 20th-century design would recognize as the work of a true craftsman, in all senses of that word. — E.E.

could fit a house on it and not take out any statement trees. There was a natural berm she wanted to save, as well, so she conjectured she’d have to make the house, as she says, “ooze north from the road to the beach.”

Once the ink was dry on the purchase agreement, Kathy went about designing her home. “I like elements from a lot of styles,” she says.

“Craftsman, classic Michigan cottage … my approach is to let the house grow from the lot—planning the house first and plunking it on the lot, that’s my pet peeve,” she says.

The finished product is what Kathy calls an overgrown cottage that functions like a home. One might call it whimsical. But that implies fluff and fancifulness. And Kathy’s house is grounded in the solid Northwoods

materials of rock and Douglas fir. What is certain is that tour-goers are going to come out of Kathy’s home with ideas galore for their own home. There are the old shutters turned bed headboard, the bandana curtains that tie up and down, the great room tree house for the grandkids, the shuffleboard-paddles turned curtain rods …

While you are touring Kathy’s home, be sure to notice the floor. Her newest incarnation is as a personal rug consultant. At the entry you’ll walk across a runner from Istanbul. The great room centers around a one-of-akind, hand-knotted creation. And so it goes with more fabulous rugs and “how did she think of that” ideas throughout this home. Kathy will be on hand tour day. Go ahead and ask her about all of them! — E.E.

The finished home builds up and out from the original structure in cantilevered boxes. Says David of the cantilevers: “They provide an element of magic, a sense of floating.” The magic continues inside the home, where the staircase, too, appears to float, and the windows that rise three stories wash the rooms in watery views.

The interior is also a lesson in black and white minimalism: dyedblack oak floors and kitchen cupboards and black ceramic floor tiles are contrasted with white quartz kitchen counters and walls painted with Benjamin Moore’s nuanced color, Paper White. Nearly every other element4

By the time Tom Donall found and purchased his dream vacation property on Lake Michigan north of Leland, his career as an artist and designer had taken him from his Michigan home to South Beach, Florida.

Inspired by the sophisticated modern architecture of South Beach with its minimalist interiors that frame ocean panoramas, Donall wanted to build his own Lake Michigan interpretation. “That community is filled with artists and has so much to offer in terms of design,” Tom says.

But there was another design caveat for his Leland property: Permit restrictions meant that Tom’s home would need to stick to the original footprint of the square, flat-roofed house that had graced the site since the 1970s. For help with the project, Tom teamed up with architect David

is either glass or stainless steel. “Minimalism is used to make the elements as clear as possible and also to make them appear effortless,” David explains. “It is, in fact, not easy to accomplish minimal construction; all structure is hidden, there are no trims, and as a result, no room to hide imperfections or flaws.

Materials and finishes have to be designed and installed for uniformity and consistency,” he continues.

Rod is the first to agree that it was a complicated building job from start to finish. “It wasn’t just a demolition or just a reno or just a build. It was all types of building in one—additionally, it involved adding 20 steel beams.” In the end, the home took three years to complete. A complicated project, certainly. And one that pushed the style envelope of building on the northeast Lake Michigan shore in a decidedly sophisticated direction.— E.E.

2098 Snowfla e Trail, Traverse City // Ferraro Builders, 231.933.6089, ferrarobuilders.com level of stone and woodwork. Mike couldn’t help but smile when he saw the photos. His own wife, Jeanne, had pulled the same pictures off the web and hoped to build the same home. “The home is exceptionally ornate on the exterior with lots and lots of wood details in the eaves, in the siding, on the porch pillars,” Mike says.

The couples got to calling the plan the J & J house for Judy and Jeanne.

Judy and her husband, Gary, hoped to build their version on a lovely wooded lot on Long Lake on the outskirts of Traverse City. Before they got around to breaking ground, however, they sold the property to their son Corey and his wife, Sarah. As it turned out, Corey and Sarah loved the J & J house, as well. Only, of course, they asked Mike to help them tweak the plan.4

TODD ZAWISTOWSKI

One of the many reasons clients work with Ferraro Builders is that customers find the three primary service professionals they’ll need under one roof—architect, interior designer and builder. They also get Mike Ferraro’s many decades of experience in universal design (sometimes known as aging in place) and high performance building (otherwise called green building). And beyond all of that, his clients find that Mike has an incredible capacity to adopt, tweak and tailor a plan in any direction the homeowners would like to go.

And so it was when a prospective client named Judy Treadway came to him with photos of a home she’d pulled off the Internet. It was a spectacular contemporary Craftsman-style home, marked by a sophisticated

The home that now graces the lot on Long Lake is a contemporary version of the original J & J home. The younger Treadways opted to lighten the use of timber and stone in the plan, and Mike helped them add touches specifically suited to their young family, including personalized closet cubbies in the foyer and turning the room originally earmarked as the formal dining room into an office for Corey. In lieu of a 48

formal dining space, the family eats in a nook of the kitchen/great room under a pecan wood cone-shaped ceiling—one of those distinctive home features that tour-goers will remember long after the tour is over.

Other fabulous touches in this home are the three-dimensional wall tiles in the master bedroom and the authentic barnwood door to Corey’s office that Mike found in the Upper Peninsula.— E.E.

In the case of this particular ranch, it is the strong, clean-lined interior and the interplay of structure with site that makes all the difference.4

With its soaring 15-foot cathedral ceiling, liberal use of glass, strong architectural elements and drop-away view of Grand Traverse Bay, the home of Gretchen and Jim Overbeek doesn’t look anything like your mother’s ranch home. But Scott Lankford, who designed the

The planning of the home began with the purchase of the lot at the tippy top of the upwardly winding Incochee Farm subdivision. “We just kept coming back to it,� Jim says of their property search.

Stunning yes, difficult to build on, yes again, and the entire talented team who worked on the home credits Mike Collings of MAC Custom

Homes for tweaking the plan to make full use of the site and to root the structure securely to the mountain.

The property seemed to call for modern lines, and the Overbeeks were ready to push their style envelope from their previous home, a log cabin on the Pere Marquette River. They were also all for using4 Northern Home & Cottage

low maintenance materials. The completed home is a stunningly handsome structure with a metal roof, cement siding, split-rock face and glass exterior. The exterior entrance delivers with stacked stone pillars, slate pavers and a steel pergola—an ensemble that manages to feel both indigenous and Asian influenced.

The slate-tiled foyer leads past Jim’s glass-walled office into a great room marked by strong design statements including a magnificent

stove hood fashioned from stacked stone flanked by rust-colored Tau Gres ceramic tiles that resemble weathered metal. Angela Goodall of Kitchen Choreography, who masterminded the hood, went on to echo the same materials in the living room fireplace mantel—a surface that also discreetly houses the television. Other standouts in this striking home are semi-custom kitchen cabinetry, a spectacular walk-in closet and a bathtub that feels like it is in the treetops..— E.E.
