On a shallow lakeside lot in Harbor Springs, Michigan, several moving parts behind a residential new build are currently interlinking, coming together to create an ultra-modern, vacation residence for a hard-working Grand Rapids couple familiar with the art of building. The clients, one of whom is a construction leader in the western Michigan region, sought a new waterfront vacation home that would eventually double as a permanent oasis upon their retirement. Also a respected construction professional in West Michigan, Tony Zahn, founder and president of Zahn Builders Inc. of Holland, Michigan, considered it an honor to craft a custom residence for the couple, using the fullest extent of the building firm’s in-house capabilities. “They had vacationed in Harbor Springs for many years with their family. This was a Grand Rapids couple and we had a rapport with their architect, Lucid Architecture, and also had rapport in that we had built numerous homes for acquaintances of theirs and they wanted to go with a builder that they knew and had confidence in,” Zahn said. “Their goal was to basically build their retirement home early.”
