Located on US 31 in Coast Guard City USA we wanted to change the appearance of this existing straight lined contemporary building to fit with the Coast Guard theme. Being a real estate office we also wanted the entrance to offer a warm inviting feeling. Along with several structural issues which required correcting and interior space modifications the exterior was redesigned by removing the existing exterior, adding stone and a tower to reflect a connection with Grand haven’s Coast Guard lighthouse. We were also challenged with code issues on the interior as the new code required correcting corridor, stair and door widths.
