Luxury Small-Home Renovations in Plymouth, Michigan
Preserve your home’s charm. Upgrade its comfort. Plan it right the first time.
Plymouth’s tree-lined neighborhoods are filled with pre-war Colonials, Cape Cods, and tidy post-war ranches homes built between the 1930s and 1960s that still hold storybook curb appeal but often fall short on comfort and flow.
At Turnwood Design Group, we help Plymouth homeowners transform these older houses into historically sensitive, luxury small homes that feel timeless, functional, and worth every dollar invested.

Move forward confidently — whether you renovate now or later
Why Plymouth Homes Need a Different Approach
Historic Plymouth is known for its walkable downtown, charming 1940s–1950s homes, and tight-knit neighborhoods where scale and proportion matter.
Yet many of these homes have been altered over time — vinyl siding over original trim, oversized garages, or awkward additions that disrupted their balance.
Our specialty is restoring architectural harmony: combining authentic classical proportion, period-correct details, and modern comfort to make your small home feel both classic and current.
What We Design
Our renovation designs are custom-tailored for homes between 1,000 – 2,000 sq ft — the “missing middle” of modern design:
Classical & historically inspired exterior makeovers
Additions that blend seamlessly with original architecture
Porch & entry redesigns for real curb appeal
Kitchen, bath, and interior re-layouts for better livability
Comprehensive renovation planning & construction documentation
Each design follows our Charm-Safe Renovation Method™ — ensuring every detail enhances proportion, balance, and beauty instead of fighting it.
Featured Plymouth Project: The Evergreen Colonial
A 1950s Colonial near Old Village that had lost its original rhythm through piecemeal updates.
Through our Home Revival Blueprint™, we realigned its window symmetry, rebuilt the porch to match period detailing, and refined its color palette — transforming it into a home that looks authentically “Plymouth” again.
What Homeowners Say
“We were ready to spend $200K on a contractor’s idea that would have destroyed our house’s charm. The Home Revival Blueprint completely changed our direction — and saved us from a $50K mistake.”
