How It Works

Simple and hassle-free

1

Project Inquiry Submitted

The initial contact is submitted through the Northshore Architecture website form detailing the proposed Marquette project—a lakefront cedar residence in the South Marquette Historic District.

2

Schematic Design Review

Northshore Architecture presents block diagrams and preliminary floor plans during a scheduled studio visit, allowing collaborative discussion to shape the initial design with sunlight studies and adjacency edits.

3

Construction Document Refinement

Detailed plans and specifications are developed, reviewed, and refined, incorporating specific material selections: warm white oak flooring, hand-troweled plaster walls, and locally sourced sandstone foundation with meticulous detailing for permitting and construction.

4

Final Design Delivered

The approved and fully documented architectural drawings are released to the chosen Marquette contractor for permit acquisition ensuring the constructed project reflects the intended design, respects the site, and embodies the client’s aspirations.

What Marquette Homeowners Say

“The way the light now enters the living room through the clerestory windows is remarkable; it feels like a completely different space, even at dusk. We hadn't imagined such an effect when we began the renovation process.”

M

Margaret Olsson

Marquette

“The new kitchen design, with its efficient layout and warm white oak cabinetry, has made cooking enjoyable again. Before, it was always a compromise.”

D

David Lehtinen

Marquette

“We appreciated their sensitivity to the historical character of our home in the East Side Historic District while still incorporating modern amenities. The thoughtful addition feels both new and original.”
