The 560 m2 five-bedroom private residence located in Union Pier, Michigan is the epitome of modern comfort. An architectural masterpiece by DMAC Architecture & Interiors on the on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The space is designed for multi-generations to gather and enjoy the natural beauty of the property year round - from the dune grasses to the sandy beach, rippling water, and infinite sunsets.
The design organically brings the outside inside to create an immersive experience with panoramic views of Lake Michigan. Conceptually, the response to the site was simple - like three stacked beach stones (one vertical and two horizontal) that define open living spaces and seamlessly capture the beauty of the beach and wooded landscapes of the site.
Dekton Large-format tile
When DMAC was creating their long-time client’s vacation home, they needed materials that not only boasted incredible beauty, but also functionality. They were looking for a countertop material that could extend from the interior to the outdoor grill and handle the harsh and highly corrosive lakefront climate.
Dekton large-format tile exceeded all of the requirements. Dekton Kelya was the color of choice for the kitchen countertop and backsplash, a visually interesting color inspired by dark natural marbles. Its light streaks on a black canvas exude an air of elegance and style and in this space, perfectly complementing the wooden cabinets.
Dekton Kelya, suitable for any application
The great thing about Dekton is that it goes well beyond a kitchen countertop. Its technical properties and variety of thicknesses make it suitable for any application. In this luxury residence Dekton Kelya can also be seen in the outdoor grill countertop and the fireplace plinth. The material needed to be of a design vocabulary that could be used to clad the fireplace plinth and work with the hot rolled steel cladding fireplace wall.
