Vineyard View Apartments

Suttons Bay, MI

Two identical buildings with gray siding and black roofs sit side by side in a parking lot, each with a few parked cars. The buildings are surrounded by greenery and trees under a clear sky, creating a peaceful suburban setting.

The image shows an interior ceiling detail featuring exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) set within a white, minimalistic frame. The natural wood grain contrasts with the smooth, white walls, creating a clean, modern look.

    Vineyard Apartments is a project featuring two 4-unit apartment buildings, specifically designed for affordable housing. The buildings are based on a repeatable module, allowing for quick installation and cost-effective construction. A key focus of the project is sustainability, achieved through the use of bearing walls that have been carefully coordinated with a Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) manufacturer. This approach not only enhances the energy efficiency of the buildings but also simplifies the construction process.

    The project features structurally integrated mass timber CLT on the second floor, and uses light frame construction (2x walls and roof trusses) in the rest of its structural system.
