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."

As architects, we believe our role as creators and designers does not stop once you move inside a home. The form, scale, detail, and texture of spaces and their finishes all matter as much on the interior as the exterior.
And, we consider it all.

Follow along with Dana and Eric on one of our annual Job Shadow days! Last week, we had some awesome high school students join us and get a sneak peek into the world of architecture with a tour through our Northshore Residence. It was fun sharing our passion for design and creativity with them. Big thanks to everyone who joined, and to our team for inspiring the next wave of architects! 🙌🏼

Nestled along the rugged shoreline of Lake Michigan, the Lower Shore Residence embodies modern living seamlessly integrated with nature. Designed for a family passionate about outdoor adventures and entertaining, this home serves as an elegant launchpad for exploration and connection to its breathtaking surroundings.
Expansive window walls on the lakeside flood the living spaces with natural light, offering picturesque vistas, while solid walls adorned with high clerestory windows provide a serene retreat from the road, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Anchored by monumental cast-in-place concrete fireplaces, the airy glass box exudes warmth and character.

Introducing the Brecado Residence! This luxury home is a mid century inspired estate home designed and sited on a point that extends into the lake with over 180 degrees of water view. A sophisticated material palette of cut and polished stone, metal, and wood accents gives a feeling of sophisticated elegance.
Is this a home you would want to live in?

The Dunegrass Residence is tucked into a secluded wooded dune site just off of Lake Michigan. The home is sited into a small basin in the dunes, and works as a bridge between to higher ridges. The approach/arrival sequence is thoughtfully considered to reveal the home as one enters the site. A pool and outdoor living spaces wrap around the exterior.

Moments of the Hidden Lakes Residence. Thoughtful detailing of materials, windows, and structure create a beautiful counterpoint to the fall foliage.

“The strength of this modest retreat lies in a flipped plan that strategically combines strict dune and shoreline protection through inland siting and a compact footprint. Connections to earth and sky flow from the open ground generating intimate spaces and dramatic view while material, passive, and active systems are deftly and subtly integrated.”
