Established in 2003, New Urban Home Builders is a boutique residential builder specializing in design-focused custom homes and renovations in the Grand Rapids, Michigan and Lakeshore areas. At New Urban, we're passionate about architecture. We've earned a reputation among architects and clients alike as the region's premier builder of modern homes and midcentury renovations.
This remarkable home was designed by brutalist architect Otto Stark, who also designed downtown Chicago's lauded Blue Cross Blue Shield Building (1968) at 55 W. Wacker Drive. This renovation should complete in early 2021. For more information about the house, please visit these pages at Architecture Grand Rapids and West Michigan Modern.
Midcentury modern homes rarely stay that way. Additions, renovations and design updates made over decades can collectively catapult the overall aesthetic of these homes through time, from the year each was built to someplace in the 21st century.
Our clients brought to the table midcentury design savvy for days - one works at a West Michigan company renowned for mcm furniture, the other is a talented craftsman with ample experience restoring historical homes.

A perfect property begs for a perfect home, and a tear-down is often the simplest move toward achieving what works best for your family. When our clients acquired this truly stunning parcel, perched high on a critical dune along Lake Michigan, the existing structure was dark, dated and in need of reconfiguring to function comfortably as the family's vacation home.
This is our fifth construction project and clearly our best. New Urban has a keen eye on construction details that assured us the quality standards we expected would be met or exceeded. Consistent communication on building progress avoided errors and increased our confidence in the finished product.
