This charming Craftsman-inspired design, built to fit into an established city neighborhood but at home anywhere, proves otherwise. Double columns and three inset windows flank the entranceway, which leads into a classic Four-Square floor plan. The foyer, with its classic wooden staircase, leads to the living, dining and kitchen area on one side, and the den and hearth room on the other. The design and classic screened-in porch take its cues from the past, but the open kitchen and hearth room reflect today’s casual lifestyles.  Upstairs is the master suite, four additional family bedrooms and three convenient baths. </span></p><div><span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">For more information on the Kensington, visit our other blog entries on this home:</span></div><div><a href="http://visbeen-associates-architects.blogspot.com/2011/02/grosse-pointers-build-certified-earth.html?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=Detroit%2Bpub%2Blink%2Bin%2BKensington%2Bphotos"><i><span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">Detroit News Article on LEED certified home</span></i></a></div><div><a href="http://visbeen-associates-architects.blogspot.com/2010/03/leed-certification.html?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=Blog&utm_campaign=LEED%2Bcertification%2Blink%2Bin%2BKensington%2Bphotos"><i><span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">LEED certification</span></i></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"><br /><br /></span><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3vx1islNnWQKlgNdgPEspgJpZ3bpjyhajcHPOkq_iYltgBsL3wbltQ2QylRgzojkTAUFQAPRQqCNEgxfHDovUNWubQkfQKyCgtTpBh1AxqpJFzxjfQrcLjFl5__PV5ljcgKLS58LX2Ch/s1600/1-IMG_2647.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640908062276915730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm3vx1islNnWQKlgNdgPEspgJpZ3bpjyhajcHPOkq_iYltgBsL3wbltQ2QylRgzojkTAUFQAPRQqCNEgxfHDovUNWubQkfQKyCgtTpBh1AxqpJFzxjfQrcLjFl5__PV5ljcgKLS58LX2Ch/s320/1-IMG_2647.jpg" style="display:block;

Madie's Castle Wish Comes True

David Lorenz, Visbeen Associates' senior designer, headed up the design of Madie Flores' dream castle as a part of her wish granted by the <a href="http://www.wishmich.org/">Make-A-Wish Foundation</a>. Lorenz had the opportunity to meet with Madie personally for a design session to brainstorm ideas. After drawing out detailed plans for the elaborate play house, Lorenz enlisted the help of friend and handyman, Aaron Edwards, to construct it. Edwards built the play house in pieces at his home in Grand Rapids and reassembled it with the help of dozens of volunteers in Flores' backyard in St. Joseph last week.
