A modern home defined by collaboration, clarity, and a deep sense of place.

The homeowners approached Urbanhome with a clear vision for their dream home overlooking Lake St. Clair. Over the course of two years, that vision evolved into a refined, contemporary residence through collaboration with Timberland Homes (builder), Dimanti (stone surfaces), and Palazzi (custom fireplace feature).

From the earliest design conversations through to the final styling details, the process focused on aligning form, function, and emotional connection within the home.

A Home Defined by Architectural Presence

The Modern Manor is bold, masculine, and architecturally rich. Strong material contrasts, warm wood elements, and dramatic lighting create a layered design that feels both elevated and deeply livable.

Some of the defining features of the home include:

• A soaring living room anchored by a dramatic marble fireplace wall

• Custom slat wall architectural details that continue throughout the home

• A sleek contemporary kitchen with sculptural lighting and layered finishes

• A serene and minimalist primary suite overlooking the lake

• Outdoor entertaining spaces designed to celebrate lakefront living

Designing for Beauty, Function, and Feeling

Jodi Mason’s design philosophy focuses on creating homes that feel intentional and balanced.

Throughout the home, careful attention was given to scale, proportion, and texture to ensure each space feels connected rather than compartmentalized.

Meaningful Interiors

Complementing the editorial feature, Urbanhome also placed a full-page advertisement in the magazine highlighting the home’s stunning fireplace feature alongside the brand message:

Meaningful Interiors — Fine Crafted Furnishings

The ad reflects Urbanhome’s belief that great design is about more than aesthetics. It is about creating environments that support the way people live, gather, and feel in their homes.
