Downtown Riverfront Condo
Downtown Riverfront Condo Overlooking Gold Medal Park and the Mississippi River, this downtown condo has an architectural flair to match the postcard vistas, with a design that is streamlined and unequivocally modern, yet warm and inviting.

Lake of the Isles Cottage
Lake of the Isles Cottage Longtime supporters of the arts in Minneapolis, the owners of this charming cottage frequently host fellow art patrons and large fundraising events. Unfortunately numerous haphazard remodeling projects had taken their toll—the entire interior was cramped, insular, and had little connection to the lake view. We restored the house’s original aesthetic while enhancing its […]
Saint Croix River Modern
Saint Croix River Modern Well-loved for decades, this 1,000 square-foot mid-century cabin, nestled in the pines of the Saint Croix River bluffs, was always self-effacing. For the owners, this cherished family retreat was about being at the river, not inside the cabin. The original kitchen was tiny and had no connection to the living area […]

Summit Avenue Condo Built in 1913 as a single-family residence, this Summit Avenue house was divided into three condos, one per floor, in the 1970s. In the process, original details were destroyed and the floor plan significantly altered—the east wing was added and the layout of the west wing (original to the house) made rather awkward […]
Kenwood Queen Anne
Kenwood Queen Anne The homeowners wanted to do right by the pedigree of this 1892 Queen Anne residence (designed by Harry Wild Jones), but also make it more functional for their busy family. It had been converted into a boarding house around World War II, leaving it without a full-scale, workable family kitchen. It had […]
Saint Paul Prairie School

Otter Tail Hunting Lodge

Built on the foundation of a 1970s rambler, its design was inspired by vernacular buildings that would have once stood on these grounds. The simplicity and honesty of the design are […]
