Bay Area Contracting

Bay Area Contracting and BAC Design Group proudly present their 2025 Parade of Homes entry, located on the family’s own Tree Bread Farms (EST. 2020).

BAC is one of Northern Michigan’s premier residential design and construction firms. Since launching in 2007, Bay Area Contracting has grown steadily year after year thanks to a strong commitment to quality craftsmanship and lasting client relationships. With services that include excavation, custom trim, tile work, custom siding, and a full woodshop, BAC offers a truly custom, all-in-one building experience. This home is a showcase of that collaborative approach—where the talent and expertise of each division come together to create a home that is as functional as it is beautiful.

This year’s entry is deeply personal—built on the soon-to-be the family’s working farm, complete with a barn and open pastures and orchards, it reflects a life of connection, intention, and creativity. It’s a home rooted in rhythm: of seasons, of growth, of family.

Family-focused functionality defines the design, with spaces crafted to support daily life—from muddy boots at the back door to quiet corners for creative exploration. Here, everything has purpose and presence. The layout flows with ease, offering gathering places to laugh, cook, and share, along with pockets of stillness to read, rest, and reconnect.

This is a house of sights and sounds, where the distant hum of bees and the laughter of children mix with the warmth of wood and the patter of paws on tile. Views are treated as art, framed by oversized windows that look out onto the fields, the barn, and the lives being lived in between. Inside, kitchens start with soil—blending beauty with utility. Rich woods, earthy textures, and organic finishes offer a sense of calm and connection. Whether it's baking pies with apples grown on the land or washing garden harvests at the farm sink, these spaces reflect a life well-rooted.

BAC took care to design for longevity and practicality without sacrificing style. Durable surfaces, timeless materials, and artisan finishes are paired with whimsical touches and family-friendly layouts that grow with the people who live there. More than a home, this space is a reflection of a life lived close to the land. It’s a canvas for creativity, a sanctuary for quiet, and a playground for imagination. Dirty hands are welcome here, and the beauty is in the balance—between stillness and motion, simplicity and richness, nature and nurture.

Welcome to Tree Bread Farms.
