Our Design Drivers
Essence of the Design Narrative: A traditional English style is mixed with modern form creating a luxury interior where vintage comfort meets modern sophistication. The palette is thoughtfully displayed through rich earthy tones found in the landscape, a variety of cozy and nature inspired textures and patterns, as well as an array of traditional wood, stone, and metals.
Landscape
Secluded in the northern region of Michigan’s lower peninsula, protected by the rural countryside and the Great Lakes, lies an unexpected environment for many. The landscape embraces the property while the English ivy embraces the exterior, unifying the building with the natural environment. The lush and carefree ambiance is shaped through the picturesque and welcoming surroundings of Boyne Highlands.
Nostalgia
The authenticity and interaction between the structures at Boyne Highlands are a strong component to what makes the property captivating. Boyne Highlands’ unique and quaint architecture evokes a warm welcome and carefree sense of place. The nostalgic exterior materials tell a present-day story of a yearning for the tradition of yesterday, built to be enjoyed by all, year-round.
Retreat
The refined intimate guest rooms, the playful public space, and familiarity and comfort complete the retreat experience to support the need to recharge and the desire for adventure. Just like the connection between the exterior and interior design, this lifestyle resort is designed to create a strong bond between friends, family, and the great outdoors. Having this connection promotes a healthy sense of mental and emotional well being.
