Vineyard Lofts project Fact Sheet
Location:

Property
overview: Single structure totaling, 30,000 sq/ft. 12-20ft ceilings,
all block/concrete construction, steel and wood roofs, 13 concrete wine
vats still in place, second floor above ½ of the building, different
elevations throughout situated on 2.57 acres. Property is 7 blocks from
the Lake Michigan beach, and is located in a popular second home
community in Michigan’s Harbor Country.
History
of building: Built in the late 1920’s, the building was
Michigan’s oldest continuously operating winery until it’s closing
in 1990.
Project
highlights: Building is being converted into 14, two/three bedroom
lofts that range from 1725 to over 3000 sq/ft. Units feature individual
entrances, open floor plans, master bedroom suites and custom kitchens
with SS appliances and granite countertops, all standard.
Oversized great rooms, ceiling heights up to 20ft., private courtyards,
terraces and roof top decks compliment the beautifully landscaped
grounds. Concrete vats used in the wine making process have been opened
and are being incorporated into bedrooms and kitchens in select lofts. Units are wired with Cat5e
cable for home networking. Home automation packages are also available.
Design
premise: The winery had evolved over many years with buildings being
added in a hap-hazard manner. The architects were inspired by this
lack of order, and based on ancient Italian village planning concepts,
tied the project together with a narrow main pedestrian walkway that
meanders through the winery buildings. The existing structures were then
incorporated into the one and two story new
residences. With an emphasis on clean uncluttered lines, abundant light
and a pronounced sense of order, the contemporary look is a curious
combination of old and new.
