A corner of Woodbridge will get one of the coolest makeovers in town. The project? Shipping container homes, a new idea in living spaces. Think giant, heavy, metal Legos stacked four high with windows and doors and people living inside of them. Very cool.
This was no piece of cake fixer-upper. Scott Robichaud's dream home was a crumbling 1850s wreck of a place in Corktown. And it's on its way to becoming a Bagley Street beauty.
Want to find a real loft in Detroit to rent or own? Here's a list that should help you get started, ranked from raw to finished, and rent to own.
Raw. Real. Exposed. Yep, we're talking lofts, and Detroit's post-industrial landscape makes its crop of lofts the authentic deal. We're talking brick walls, concrete floors, overhead beams, huge windows, etc. We look at the range, from cheap artists' spaces with possibly some crazy exposed innards of an old factory, to glossier, high-end luxury abodes.
What happened inside the building on the corner of Piquette and Beaubien changed the world. It was a hot bed of innovation and design that the world had never seen before. It's product? The Model T - and it's turning 100 years old. Henry Ford designed a number of Models, with the T taking the cake and changing the world. One thing we have on Ford, he never produced a Model D.
D'Mongo's really isn't a speakeasy. It's all legit and one-of-a-kind. It's a hole in the wall that opens, once a week, into a place that's a mash-up of French cafe, novely museum, neighborhood bar and soulfood joint.
The design doctors are in at Design 99. Artist Mitch Cope and architect Gina Reichert are bringing good taste to the masses via a Hamtramck storefront.
