A complete soup-to-nuts interior design commission for a 10,000-square-foot new construction family home on Lake Michigan — zpd+a designed every element of this super-luxury residence from the ground up, including custom tile, custom millwork, and custom stained glass, alongside full art curation and placement.

​

The design brief was richly layered from the outset: modern and vintage, Arts and Crafts, contemporary, mid-century, and Prairie Style were all part of the conversation. Rather than arbitrarily selecting one direction, zpd+a explored the owners' personal histories and driving passions to distill a singular aesthetic that honors every influence without being defined by any single one. The result is undeniably luxurious yet accessible and unfussy — a home that invites relaxation, play, and entertaining in equal measure.

​

Custom furniture and lighting are combined with carefully selected vintage pieces throughout, creating a layered, textured interior that engages all the senses. Pedestrian materials — pine flooring, penny tiles — are elevated through creative detailing and precise integration, demonstrating that material choice matters far less than design intention. Custom tile was sourced through Artistic Tile; furnishings through Holly Hunt.

Art was curated and placed by zpd+a, with each piece selected for its relationship to the architecture, the light, and the life of the family within it.
