W R I T T E N B Y D E B O R A H L . M A R T I N Kitchen FILES THE Andrea Goldman designed this Michigan vacation home for a family of four who wanted a place to escape the city during Covid. Since that time, this home has come to be a place where family, extended family, and friends gather for holidays, school breaks, summer vacations, and year-round family gatherings. A neutral palette and lots of windows amplify and celebrate the natural landscape, and the contemporary design punctuated with rustic and textural elements is inviting and warm, bringing people together and satisfying the original purpose of the house. A Wolf range and hood are a must for a family who loves to entertain.
