Quigley Architects is a small residential firm dedicated to making distinctive homes of quality and character. Residential architecture is our exclusive focus, and we do it well: new homes, additions and remodels, and kitchen and bath rejuventations. We are adept at listening to your dreams and creatively translating them into reality. infusing living environments with character and soul is a hallmark of our work. Distinctive detailing distinguishes our work and sets it apart from the ordinary. We avoid trends and fads, pursuing instead timeless architectural qualities that reinforce the spirit of home and sense of place. Rather than being wedded to a particular style or “look”, we prefer instead to respond more individually to our clients’ desires. The homes we create are for individual personalities, which is evident in the diversity of our designs. At Quigley Architects, we are good listeners and enjoy the give and take of the design process. We understand how involved the process of designing and building a new home or undertaking an addition/remodel can be, and are seasoned veterans at helping clients navigate through the complexities.

**★★★★★ — tencenturies, March 2016**

> We first hired Quigley Architects in 2001 to design a traditional home located on the coast of Maine. That build went so well that when we wanted a new, modern home designed for us in Minneapolis in 2014, we hired Quigley again.  This new house, completed in August 2015 is everything we wanted; beautiful, warm, friendly and a delight to live in. It integrates so well into our neighborhood of traditional homes that people knock on our door just to tell us how much they appreciate the design. Quigley Architects is everything you want in a custom architect; creative, collaborative and responsive.  We listen to horror stories from others who have had custom builds and we experienced none of this.  Quigley worked seamlessly with us and with the contractor.  We recommend this firm without reservation.

  - Location: Minneapolis, MN

  - Description: This is a new custom built home overlooking Minnehaha Creek in Minneapolis, MN. The neighbor house divided their lot in half and sold it to our clients. This was an infill project- no teardown occurred.

  - Location: Edina, MN
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Our clients reluctantly left their pedigreed Mid-Century Modern in suburban Washington, DC relocating back to the Twin Cities. Searching for a walk-able neighborhood, they found Edina’s Morningside and proceeded to create a new home with a similar spirit. The deep but narrow lot with a shared drive dictated the unique response with a garage at the midsection. Formal living and dining is at the front; kitchen/family gathering is the rear, opening to the terrace. Linking the two is a gallery that…
- [Lakefront Modern - Prior Lake, MN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-modern-prior-lake-mn-pj-vj~649825)
  - Location: Prior Lake, MN
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: Our clients purchased an unpretentious, lakefront 1970’s walkout rambler with every intention of replacing it for their young family. An extremely tight site meant pushing the setback limits and a vertical solution. The proximity to the lake also meant no basement. Our effort was guided by our clients’ love of modern design and 270- degree lake views. Most rooms enjoy multiple panoramas. We further connected the house to the outdoors through a ground floor terrace, a main living level deck and s…

  - Location: Edina, MN
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: This was a multi-stage addition/remodel spanning several years. The first project dug a basement floor deeper to make a more usable playroom space. The second project added a sun room off the back of the house. Project three remodeled a wide hallway to make a homework space that can be monitored from the kitchen. The final projected turned a half height attic space into a full height master bedroom suite and the original brick was removed and replaced with Hardie shingle siding.
- [Respectful in Tangletown - Minneapolis, MN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/respectful-in-tangletown-minneapolis-mn-pj-vj~650068)
  - Location: Minneapolis, MN
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Our clients loved their South Minneapolis neighborhood and their priority was to stay. With a strong desire to ‘honor’ the original architecture, an addition was added to the back of the house to create a bigger, more useful and connected kitchen on the first floor. The addition allowed a master bath and closet to be added upstairs to remedy the common South Minneapolis problem of one bathroom and tiny closets. The basement was then finished to include a desperately needed family room, complete…

  - Location: Edina, MN
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: Forced to rebuild after extraordinary circumstances destroyed their previous house, our clients asked for something in keeping with the character and scale of the existing, established neighborhood. We were challenged greatly by the tight corner lot, with restricted setbacks on multiple sides, and fixed vehicular access. The resulting traditional-looking home has simple massing, materials common to the neighborhood, a detached garage to maximize sunlight and views from the living spaces and a bu…
