This home is an urban retreat with views of downtown Minneapolis and is surrounded by the bucolic setting of Theodore Wirth Park in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood of Minneapolis. The home evokes Finnish contemporary design with warm, natural materials and dramatic windows providing abundant natural light and views of the surroundings.

The owner sought to elevate the living level to the second floor to capture extended views of the park and the city beyond. This design strategy allowed the living space to have taller windows and a vaulted ceiling to draw in natural light and incorporate the outdoor spaces and panorama into the experience.
