WHAT DRIVES US

Where the best things in life happen.

The homes we design are modern, purposeful, and user-driven. They welcome gatherings, encourage family, and express, enable and enhance everyday life. They become the backgrounds for your life’s most unforgettable moments.

WHAT WE CREATE

We've honed our award-winning design process while working with dozens of clients on projects located both near and far.

A DESIGN PROCESS WITH AWARD-WINNING RESULTS

Your home starts with you.

You are the most important part of this whole process. When you’re excited, we are excited. So our ears perk up when you explain your visions and goals. We lean in and take detailed notes, as we begin to envision the countless ways we can translate your ideas into a bright, clear solution.

A TEAM OF ARCHITECTS DEDICATED TO YOU

A different kind of architect.

Don’t get us wrong— we're architects, but not the kind you’re thinking of. Sure, we craft breathtaking functional spaces, call scribbles drawings, and know all the fancy words for an entryway. But the truth is architecture isn’t that complicated.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

"We went into the design process with a pretty clear notion of what we wanted. Not only did Eric and Dana at Lucid help us realize that vision; they propelled the design from sound to spectacular. Our home is everything we wanted, and more."

Unexpected visitor on site today!

This fawn wandered onto our construction site today, a quiet reminder of the landscape’s original inhabitants. It’s not every day your project gets a visit from a four-legged neighbor, and it stopped us all in our tracks.

At Lucid, our work begins with deep respect for place. This beautiful land has a story, and we’re here to design in harmony with it.  By building where the original home was and keeping all of the wetlands untouched, we hope moments like this remain part of the everyday for our clients!

MONOLITHIC PRESENCE

Sculptural. Seamless. Statement-making. Our cast-in-place fireplaces aren’t just design features; they anchor the space.

Formed onsite with precision and intention, these monolithic concrete structures bring a raw, tactile presence to modern interiors and glass boxes while providing structural bracing. 

Minimal, but far from simple.

Floating Roof, Grounded Design

Look closely, the roof on this modern home is not just for shelter, it’s a statement.
Those continuous windows? They give the roof a weightless, floating effect. But here’s the secret: it’s all supported by a series of thin structural columns, hidden from view.

Clean, clever, and quietly complex - just how we like it.

Headed to the lake for the holiday weekend?!

Lower Shore is a northern Michigan lakeside masterpiece that blends modern design with natural serenity, perched on the edge of Lake Michigan like it was always meant to be here.

Glass, steel, and driftwood-hued siding form a quiet structure, held between woods and water.  Tucked gently into its site and open wide to the lake.  Built to hold summer!

🎧 Sound on. Let the waves speak.

At Lucid, the window is never an afterthought.  It’s a design tool.  It’s about what to let in - light, shadow, breeze, view - and also what to frame and filter.  Beautiful glass boxes do not just happen, they are built with thoughtful and creative detailing.
