Designer Corey Damen Jenkins proved just how versatile a few extra square feet could be in this Michigan home, where he transformed a lofted space above the foyer into a focus zone worthy of a CEO or 4.0 brainiac.

Clear the Way for Collaboration

You know what they say—two heads (or three, or four) are better than one.
