How the design is tailored to Northern Michigan
Durango Homes specializes in the custom design/build process of residential construction with an emphasis in tailoring the home to a Northern Michigan, multi-functional lifestyle. Northwest Michigan, including the counties of Benzie, Leelanau and Grand Traverse offer some prime resort/recreational building locations. What is also a common denominator for homes in the area is that they often have numerous functions. |
Northern Michigan Lifestyle
For example: the small, seasonal family cottage may now act as a four-seasons gathering place for several generations of family members.
These changes in use and function call for a unique approach to the design/building process. Mr. Beale refers to this as creating a new "lifestyle home" which is accomplished when both the seasonal and long-term resident's needs are satisfied.
Advantages of the Design/Build Process
The beauty of a design/build home is that the homeowner doesn't need to worry about an architect's infinite dreams, not matching their finite budget.
"We want to make the home building process as enjoyable and stress free for our customers."
