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."

More than a staircase — a sculptural moment!
The Hidden Lakes stair showcases how design meets craftsmanship — floating oak treads, a sleek custom steel rail, and the perfect dance of light and shadow.

Construction Mode: On
We’re not just designing a home; we’re crafting a vision that’s as bold as it is beautiful. Foundation’s set, structure’s rising, windows are set, and we’re just getting started. We’ll be onsite shooting video today so stay tuned for what’s coming next for our Oval Dunes Residence.

SITE SPECIFIC
Great design starts with embracing the site your home will become a part of. For Fisher Lake, we celebrated the unique beauty of a slender, wooded peninsula in northern Michigan, where water and cedar trees surround the property on three sides.
We carefully crafted the home with three distinct sections, each with its own purpose, spaced to frame views and bring natural light inside. The result? A home that seamlessly connects with its stunning natural surroundings while enhancing the experience of living within it!

“We did not want ordinary, we wanted something that was extraordinary.”
At Lucid, we love collaborating with those who dream big and embrace the beauty of the extraordinary. Every design is more than just a space – it’s a story, a feeling, and a personal masterpiece.

Behind the Build: Designed for Living, Building to Last
With over two decades of experience shaping modern homes, we know that great residential design starts with the right team. Our Northshore project currently under construction with @zahnbuildersinc is a reflection of that teamwork—thoughtfully designed and beautifully built.
ERIC brings a clear, refined vision to every project, leading the team with confidence, capturing bold design solutions, and building strong, lasting client relationships.
JARIC is a dedicated team player, bringing sharp design instincts, strong follow-through, and some of the best project coordination.
MATT at Zahn, one of our trusted builders, turns concept into craft with precision and care—his work brings the design to life, detail by detail.

We’re problem-solvers at heart.
Every project comes with its own set of challenges—site constraints, budget limitations, design dreams—and we love digging into those. For Pier Cove Residence, the challenging site between an existing cottage and a utility easement could’ve been a limitation. Instead, it became an opportunity. We used the footprint to frame and capture a perfect Lake Michigan view—proof that great design often starts with a challenge.

Meet the minds behind the magic at Hidden Lake Residence.
This home didn’t just happen — it was crafted, challenged, and brought to life by Eric DeWitt and Dana Grassmid of Lucid Architecture, the design duo behind its bold lines and lived-in warmth.
Stay tuned—we’ll be introducing each team member in the coming weeks. Spoiler: they’re all legends.
