Featured Projects
This renovation of a 1930s Southside Place bungalow celebrates the home’s original charm while thoughtfully adapting it for modern living. Restoring a historic home had long been our clients’ dream, and this project honors that vision as they begin their next chapter as empty nesters. Working with a historic rehabilitation architect, we reconfigured inefficient spaces—relocating the stairs, adding a sunroom and mudroom, and creating a more functional second floor. A new garage apartment welcomes visiting family and friends. Original scalloped arches, a telephone nook, shiplap, and crystal doorknobs were carefully preserved, while a mix of new and reclaimed finishes, lighting, and hardware brings fresh balance. The result is an expression of ‘Past Meets Present,’ where preserved character and contemporary comfort come together seamlessly.
This modern lake house is the heart of a multi-generational family retreat in Cross Lake, Minnesota, where they’ve spent their summers for years. With four primary suites and two bunk rooms, the home provides ample space for family and friends to gather season after season. Designed to support everything from casual lakeside breakfasts to lively game nights, the space offers generous room for gathering and entertaining. A large slider window opens to the outdoors, creating a seamless connection from dining and the family’s active, nature-driven lifestyle. Custom cabinetry provides thoughtful storage solutions, from spice organization to pull-out waste and composting, while an earthy finish palette echoes the surrounding lake and wooded landscape.
Are We A Good Fit?
We know homes are innately personal spaces and that it can be daunting to undertake the process of building, renovating, or furnishing a home. We love to work with passionate and collaborative clients that both challenge and trust their creative consultants. We know the best results occur when clients feel their input and objectives are valued and the designer is able to use their expertise to bring a combined vision to life. We’d love you to reach out if you think we’d make a good team!
