In our final Parade of Homes special, Lauren Tucker sits down with Colin Herren of Greenwald & B.C. to talk about their stunning custom cottage on Lake Michigan in Manistee. Designed as a vacation home for out-of-state clients, the build showcases laid-back luxury, with a massive butler’s pantry, warm natural finishes, and a layout made for hosting. Colin shares how communication, patience, and collaboration shaped the final product.
Next, Lauren is joined by Dave Schneider of Andersen Windows, a 2025 Parade sponsor. Dave explains how Andersen works hand-in-hand with builders to match performance, style, and structural goals—especially as homes trend toward larger glass, cleaner lines, and energy efficiency.
Finally, Scott Norris of Scott Norris Construction walks us through his latest Parade entry: a lakefront home that blends work-from-home needs with entertaining. With expansive lake views through floor-to-ceiling windows and a layout that flows naturally to the outdoors, the home balances beauty with thoughtful function.
