**★★★★★ — Ronald Eldred, July 2018**

> We hired fuse57 to produce plans for an outside ramp and an upgrade of our first floor powder room to a bath with a shower.  Mike did it professionally and quickly.  We found him easy to work with - asking the right questions and listening to what we said.  We will use him again when the occasion arises. He is knowledgeable, experienced and a pleasant person.

**★★★★★ — David Rudolph, June 2018**

> I approached several different architect regarding a backyard bicycle garage project that I needed help with. I couldn't fit my car (and bicycles) in the garage anymore. I needed a nice looking space to store several bikes along with other equipment. It needed to be easy to access, secure and look good as well as fit the aesthetics of my backyard.
> Many architects I talked to didn't seem interested or I didn't feel like they were able to really capture the essence of what I was looking for. fuse57 was truly understood the project and the range of goals and expectations for the design.  Mike was very passionate and very engaged. He took a very thoughtful and methodical approach to the project. He was able to incorporate all of our needs into some very nice looking design options...It made it hard to choose which option to build. Not only did the design incorporate all of our requirements, He was also able to incorporate some other nice features that we hadn't originally thought of.
> One of the initial asks was to design a project that I could build myself. Mike was very accommodating and created detailed plans and made himself available to answer questions after the design was complete and I was beginning the building process. I am about 75% complete with the build and it is looking great. The plans were detailed, easy to follow and things came together nicely.
> I would definitely recommend fuse57 and would use them again.

**★★★★★ — duncanrshannon, June 2018**

> Look no further! I absolutely loved working with Mike on my two projects. He's incredibly easy to work with, somehow manages to understand exactly what I'm asking for and then puts together designs that I couldn't be happier with. They are creative, resourceful, beautiful, and I wish I could just have him design and build my dream home. His choices of materials and products are always of excellent value, too.   I highly recommend working with Mike and Fuse57!!

- [Second Story Modern Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/second-story-modern-addition-pj-vj~7713942)
  - Location: Independence, MN
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: Nestled in the treetops overlooking Lake Sarah, this second-story addition was designed as both a retreat and an extension of home. Elevated above the shoreline, the new spaces immerse the homeowners in the beauty of their surroundings while supporting the rhythm of daily life. The addition introduces a private guest en-suite for visiting family and friends, a quiet office for focused work, a cozy lounge for gathering, a dedicated ceramic studio for making, and an outdoor patio that connects sea…
- [Two Sided Main Level Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-sided-main-level-remodel-pj-vj~7685442)
  - Location: Saint Anthony, MN
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: This 60’s rambler is home to a young family deeply invested in their walkable neighborhood—but the layout no longer fit their needs. The 800sf remodel reconfigures the main level to support daily life, with a relocated kitchen, added mudroom and pantry, updated dining room with a work from home nook and living room. The two-sided original fireplace anchors the plan—preserved on one side (minus the drop down projection screen), refreshed on the other. New skylights and Marvin windows bring abunda…
- [MCM Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mcm-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7685427)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This kitchen remodel in Minneapolis is nestled in a quiet pocket of mid-century homes near the river trails, embraces its compact footprint with smart, space-efficient design. Rather than default to an open-concept layout, the kitchen remains enclosed - enhanced by a custom operable vertical shutter that allows the kitchen to be closed off for focused cooking or opened to share light and conversation. Warm flush wood panels on the living room side blend seamlessly with the home’s original charac…
- [Modern Lake Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-lake-home-pj-vj~7685465)
  - Location: Minnetonka, MN
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: This new Lake Minnetonka custom home was designed for a young growing family that decided to trade uptown Minneapolis condo life for lake living. Located on a narrow 40-foot-wide lot, this 2,850sf modern home provides a strong connection to the lake while also balancing privacy from the neighbors. The main level comprises a three-car tandem garage and public living spaces, the upper level consists of private spaces while the finished basement serves as a flexible space. High performance triple p…
- [Bungalow Addition and Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bungalow-addition-and-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7685413)
  - Location: Saint Paul, MN
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This small addition and kitchen remodel reimagines a classic St. Paul home for a growing family—prioritizing natural light, smart function, and modern warmth. A modest side-yard addition creates space for a mudroom and ¾ bath, carefully positioned to preserve the dining room’s original piano windows. New windows throughout balance light, privacy, and flow. Inside, custom bleached butternut cabinets and a curved enameled tambour island bring warmth and sculptural contrast. Heated porcelain tile f…
- [The Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-ranch-pj-vj~339657)
  - Location: Saint Paul, MN
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: This multi-phased project to a midcentury rambler in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul that started with a broken swimming pool, outdated finishes and one less bedroom than kids and slowly transformed with Nordic design influences and an emphasis on showcasing the owner’s art collection. The first phase design solution was a two-bedroom, one bath kid’s wing addition over the garage and a kitchen remodel to visually connect the living and dining areas. The kitchen cabinets are IKEA boxes…
- [Modern Urban Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-urban-home-pj-vj~184197)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: A new compact modern home in Minneapolis, MN.
- [Sunroom addition + Kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunroom-addition-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7685537)
  - Location: Edina, MN
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This young family was looking to add a family space that took advantage of their private lot but while also serving as the hub for a busy family. The design solution was a family room addition and an open concept living arrangement that connects the dining room and remodeled kitchen. The new south facing glass wall visually connects to the exterior and also serves as a Vitamin D booster in the winter months. Effort was taken to integrate the tv and fireplace so that they don’t dominate the focal…
