Who We Are

A studio built on clarity, craftsmanship, and care.

Clark and Aldine is a design-led studio serving Plymouth, Northville, Ann Arbor, and the surrounding communities of Southeast Michigan. We lead every phase of the work — architectural planning, construction, and complete interior design — under one integrated team.

For clients whose time is their most valuable resource, we offer something increasingly rare: a single point of trust, a disciplined process, and a home that feels inevitable the moment you walk in.

From first conversation to final walk-through.

A clear, design-led path from idea to move-in day.

Step 01 — Discover

We begin with a conversation. Your vision, your timeline, your home. We listen carefully and determine whether we are the right team for the work ahead.

Step 02 — Design

A design-led pre-construction phase — architectural planning, finish direction, and a fully scoped proposal with transparent timeline and investment.

Step 03 — Build

Construction led by a working general contractor, documented weekly through Buildertrend, and delivered with full interior design through final styling.

Explore Recent work

Where architecture, atmosphere, and daily life come into one line.

We take on a small number of projects each year. Each one is built around its family — their routines, their rituals, and the way they want to feel at the end of a long day. Browse a selection of recent homes across Plymouth, Northville, Ann Arbor, and greater Metro Detroit.

Quality is not a luxury.

It is the standard.

Fully Integrated

Design, construction, and interiors under one roof. One team. One process. No handoffs that lose the thread.

Process-Led

A structured pre-construction phase, documented decisions, and modern project management through Buildertrend. You always know what is next.

Intentionally Limited

We accept a small number of projects each year by design. Fewer homes, more attention, better outcomes.

The Build Together Podcast

Conversations on building — homes, businesses, and lives worth building well.

Hosted by Michael and Danielle Gutelli, Build Together explores what it actually takes to design, build, and operate at a high level — in the home, in the business, and in life. Honest conversations with the people who do this work well.

Your home should feel like the clearest expression of how you want to live.

If that resonates, we would be glad to meet you.
