For example: the small, seasonal family cottage may now act as a four-seasons gathering place for several generations of family members.
These changes in use and function call for a unique approach to the design/building process. Mr. Beale refers to this as creating a new "lifestyle home" which is accomplished when both the seasonal and long-term resident's needs are satisfied.
Durango Homes specializes in the custom design/build process of residential construction with an emphasis in tailoring the home to a Northern Michigan, multi-functional lifestyle.
Northwest Michigan, including the counties of Benzie and Leelanau offer some prime resort/recreational building locations. What is also a common denominator for homes in the area is that they often have numerous functions.
Northwest Michigan is now home for one of Michigan's highly recognized and award winning builders and developers of design/build homes.
Charles "Chuck" Beale, owner of Durango
Homes prospered in the home building industry
for over 20 years. His Rockford, Michigan based construction company received numerous awards and was in high demand throughout the Grand Rapids and Holland area's during the 1980's and 1990's.
