42 North Architecture
Let's work together to craft an inspired design-to breathe life into every corner of your everyday spaces. Award-winning West Michigan custom architecture + designs by 42 North. Craft a home ambiance uniquely tailored to you and the ones you love. Our goal is to understand the ergonomics of how you live and the ideals you hold closest to your heart.

We'll walk you through our design discovery to find out what's most important to you. Let's work together to design an at-home presence that emanates peace and tranquility. Ryan and [the 42° North team] are the best architects I have had the pleasure to work with in 30 years I have been in the construction industry!

We teamed up and completed a couple very successful projects in Michigan. I'm now looking forward to again working together on some projects in Texas. Ryan listened and understood our desires and needs - he even sorted thru the hundreds of Houzz pictures I saved! He visited our site numerous times.

We're honored to have been recognized with a variety of different awards, and featured in many different magazines. I cannot state how unbelievable both Ryan and Travis have been through the design build of our home. They have more than exceeded expectations, saved us money, but most of all they have treated us like family and put in time that most won't do for a project.

I have been working with Ryan and his team for several years as a supplier. They are extremely creative while paying attention to detail. They have a very diverse design style that includes contemporary and traditional project types. I highly recommend their services.

Ryan was able to take our thoughts of what we wanted our dream home to be and put that into realistic drawings. We were building the home ourselves and knew what our floor plan would be, but struggled with how to put it altogether. Ryan did that for us and was extremely patient in listening to both of our opinions and wishes for what we wanted. We truly do have our dream home now!

This was our second time building and first time using Ryan and 42 North Architecture + Design. If the opportunity presents itself in the future, we wouldn't hesitate for a moment to include them. Our experience has been 5 STARS all the way around! The skill, professionalism, passion and genuine care for their clients and the project is evident in every interaction. Something we share with everyone when they visit our home and when we refer 42 North to others is that Ryan was really able to optimize the location of our house on the property, giving us the best views! We are so grateful!

We came to 42 North with a pretty good idea of what we thought we wanted our new home to be but they were able to take our design to the next level and help us make our dreams a reality! Ryan and Travis were amazing to work with and we really enjoyed every interaction with them. It's a great feeling to be in our new home and think about all the amazing people we worked with along the way to make it happen and 42 North is at the top of that list!

This is our second time building a home but our first time using 42 North. The overall design of our current home certainly exceeded our expectations. We love the layout of our home and it fits the needs of our family perfectly. Our house was featured in the Parade of Homes and the feedback we received from that was very complimentary. 42 North also went above and beyond by making it out to the construction site regularly to help oversee the build process while providing us with invaluable input. It would be difficult to overstate our satisfaction with Ryan and his team. Thank you 42 North!

And his team are not only great to work with, but they also give back to the community! The first time I met Ryan, he was helping to teach kids about his career and encourage them to continue to do well in school...a total class act!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ryan on OUR home. I emphasize our, because he listened to what we wanted, asked questions about where we were at in our lives, and guided us in the right direction. He did a great job of letting us make this our very own! Thanks 42 North
