Showcase of Remodeled Homes

Visbeen Associates, Inc. designed a renovation in this years Showcase of Remodeled Homes.  The construction on the home was completed by Surpass, Inc. and, as usual, they did a great job.  The home is located at 7114 Cuesta Way, NE, Rockford.  The tour runs Friday, April 24 from 1p-9p and Saturday, April 25 from 10a-6p.  Tickets cost $8 and can be purchased at any home on the tour and at Century Floor Space.   

You're invited to a Beach Party!

Visbeen Associates, in collaboration with BDR and Grand Rapids Magazine, are proud to present the 2009 Grand Rapids Magazine Design Home.  This year all proceeds go to benefit Camp Blodgett.  This is our first Design Home on the lakeshore and, having just been there on Tuesday, I can promise it is really something to see!  Mary Buikema from BDR & Julie Holmes collaborated on the interior design and it's beautiful.  The Gala Event is Wednesday, May 13 and it is open to the public.  For more information email me at angela@visbeen.biz.  It would certainly be worth your while and we would love to tour you through the home.

Diamante Del Sol

Once again I'm going to mourn the fact that EVERYONE else is on Spring Break and I am not! Sniff, sniff.  Since I've been thinking tropical thoughts, check out the resort in Costa Rica that Visbeen Associates designed with Edival.  It's currently under construction (as you can see) and I'm hoping it's a future Spring Break destination for me!  For more information check out DayStar Properties.

Make A Wish

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to seriously ill children and brings joy to their lives. Wayne Visbeen joined the West Michigan Wish Committee about a year ago and was recently matched with Lily.  She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a cancer affecting her bones.  When it was her turn to have a wish granted, she knew just what she wanted.  Wayne worked with her to design a two-story, luxury playhouse complete with a loft and a slide. Construction is scheduled to begin this spring!  Please keep Lily in your thoughts and prayers.

Our McBride House design at Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes, NJ was selected as a New Jersey Business & Industry Association 2009 Good Neighbor Award winner!  Wayne & his brother, David (Visbeen Construction), worked together on this project and the New Jersey Record published the article entitled Building On Combined Strengths.
