About the Home

At Forward Design Build Remodel in Ann Arbor, our passion is to translate your needs and wishes into a beautiful, functional design, built to fit your lifestyle. From our initial conversations to our long-term warranty, we follow a tried and true process to consistently deliver the results you deserve.

This fresh home redesign included updating the kitchen, finished basement, main staircase, and re-configuring the existing layout of the laundry, mudroom and powder room and eliminating walls for a more open feel. Using geometric shapes and colors throughout the house, like the patterned shower accent wall, created a style unique to the family.

The teenagers, having grown the need for a more private area to hang out, were provided a space in the newly finished basement. For entertaining, a wet bar was considered a necessity for the family and is the first thing you see as you go down the stairs. It includes a beverage fridge, wine storage, prep sink and microwave. In addition, a guest bedroom and bathroom were added. Windows were enlarged in the guest bedroom for egress purposes, and when the barn doors are opened they bring daylight into the hangout space. The bathroom blends with the design theme with a bold trapezoid pattern on the floor, and a blue textured accent tile on the back shower wall.

New prefinished wood floors on the first and second levels and also the updated staircase adds a degree of sophistication, giving the maturing house a new look. We added walnut accents throughout to bring in even more rich wood tones. The final result gives this home a fresh look that is perfect for entertaining and spending time together!
