We felt he uniquely understood our vision and would help make it a reality. We were not disappointed. Peter partnered with us throughout our home build to bring our dream to life in a house that truly feels like home. A home build is always stressful, but we were glad to be working with people like Peter and his team who brought levity and fun to the project as well. **★★★★★ — Hand Carved Stone LLC, March 2015** > Peter Eskuche of Eskuche Design is a great choice for quality, beauty and sophitication in projects that require extra special attention. He is very easy to work with. Peter Eskuche is able to incorporate very unique design qualities and products into projects. Special clients can trust it will be done right and meet high expectations for quality and distinction. You will love his work! **★★★★★ — grelliottt, March 2014** > When we began our search for architects we had a few requirements that we were looking for... high creativity within our style range, an ability to focus on our needs and tastes and a respectful down-to-earth attitude. After years of searching and touring parade homes we found all of these things and more in Peter Eskuche. After just a few meetings he was able to understand and draw what our dream home should look like. Over the last several months, Peter has patiently worked within our busy schedule to refine a wonderful finished plan. We can't wait to start building! **★★★★★ — Sandra Brown, March 2014** > From the very beginning of the process, Eskuche Design made the house they were designing "our" house. We had experience with other architects who wanted to design one type of house with the elements important to them. Eskuche sat and talked with us and our builder, John Kraemer & Sons, to really find out how we lived, what was important to us, and what type of house we wanted to live in. Together we looked at styles, pictures, designs. They encouraged us to send them pictures and to complete their "Dream Book" so they had an in-depth understanding of what we wanted. Then they began to design and sketch and re-sketch until we developed our home. Their attention to detail, their knowledge of materials and pricing and their sincere desire to give us our best possible home was wonderful. We do not have an unlimited budget and they were very sensitive to our desires and our budget and had great ideas to get our wants without sacrificing the budget. Follow through on plan changes was also excellent. We would definitely recommend them and we would build with them again. **★★★★★ — cfaust3, Oct. 2013** > Excellent professionalism. Eskuche Design has very genuine caring personnel who care for their customers. In addition, their work and skill are second to none. **★★★★★ — pecoamy, Oct. 2013** > Peter Eskuche and his design team just finished designing our home. > During construction they were very involved on site and easily available to make sure our vision became reality. Peter is so very skilled at taking our ideas and turning them into spectacular reality. He has great creativity grounded in reality and will tell you roughly what your ideas will cost as your project grows. I recommend him without any hesitation and ensure you that he will make your home design/build as pleasant as possible. **★★★★★ — healyt1, Oct. 2013** > Peter took the time to understand us and how our large family functions. He incorporated our desires and with his experience and expertise directed us to an even better concept than we could have dreamed. Seeing our home become a reality is truly amazing. **★★★★★ — byusefzadeh, Oct. 2013** > I would recommend Peter and his team to anyone any day. they are the best and most creative in their work. > > I personally know Peter and could not ever say enough good things about him and his integrity. the best of the best award should be given to him. > > Bahram **★★★★★ — johnkerr, Sept. 2013** > My wife and I hired Eskuche design group to design our new home. This was a great experience in working with Peter and his group. They were extremely organized in working with us, took the extra time to truly understand our needs for a new home....and most importantly, they are very talented in making all needs come together in a well designed home. We are currently under construction, but our home is already beautiful. We are very pleased with hiring Eskuche Design, and I would hire them again should the need come. This is a very talented group! **★★★★★ — kbear8, Sept. 2013** > Peter and his team were an absolute must for our project to go from a lot, to a exceptional vision that will last a lifetime. The amount of effort his team put into our project was the most valuable portion of a lifelong investment. I could not be happier with the results we experienced by working with them. I know i can easily recommend them to anyone that wants to execute on a great vision, and see it through to reality. **★★★★★ — J W, Sept. 2013** > Peter at Eskuche Design designed us a private clubhouse for one of our upper-end $1M+ developments in Plymouth, MN. The stunning architecture and timeless, dramatic design is a landmark within the neighborhood. We accomplished the "wow" we were hoping for and the private community building instantly became an invaluable sales tool and set the tone for the neighborhood. We had a great time working with Peter on this unique project. Since then, we have hired him to design several other projects for us. Highly recommended **★★★★★ — Southview Design, March 2013** > We had the pleasure of working with Peter and can't say enough about him. He is a remarkable, talented and creative architect. His homes are over the top! ## Selected projects - [Fox Point](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fox-point-pj-vj~5882141) - Location: Orono, MN - Photos: 44 - [Maxwell Modern II](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maxwell-modern-ii-pj-vj~5882224) - Location: Orono, MN - Photos: 31 - [Eagles Nest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eagles-nest-pj-vj~6437959) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Forever Estate - 2015 Luxury Tour](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forever-estate-2015-luxury-tour-pj-vj~1321032) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 38 - Description: Design - Peter Eskuche, AIA General Contractor - Nor-Son, Inc Interior Design - Historic Studio Landscape Design - Keenan and Svieven Photography - Spacecrafters - [2010 Luxury Tour - Mountain Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2010-luxury-tour-mountain-modern-pj-vj~24009) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 12 - Description: This home represents a combination of design features that create a striking solution uniquely accommodating the homeowner’s program combining the open feel of a desert home with the coziness of a mountain lodge, yet having a modern edge.

Did you have to piece the boards or did they come long enough? Thank you! A: Stephanie, This siding product was actually called "Breckenridge" (Plywood with a Cedar outer layer) which can be stained or painted but has a very rough surface. It's only sold in sheets so yes, there would be a lot of flashing and seems (hard to see in these) vs. a typical siding product that comes in 16' lengths. **Q: Windows brand** *(in Photo Questions)* What brand and what size are the windows A: These are all Marvin Signature line, Stone white exterior, painted interior. Don't know the sizes though. Peter **Q: Who are the entrance doors from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Entrance doors. Are they wood or composite and who makes them. Beautiful A: Grace, Thank you! These are mfr by Craftsman in Wood https://www.ciwood.com/ out of Spanish Cedar. Check out their website, we use their doors for many of our home designs and have had great experiences for at least 12 years now. Peter Eskuche **Q: Hello, what are the dimensions of this pool?** *(in Photo Questions)* What are the dimensions of this pool? A: Jenkinnt1, Thank you for the inquiry. This pool is 46' long x 17'-6" (within the coping). Peter **Q: Can I use your image on my blog page? Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* Can I use your image on my blog page? Thanks A: Koray, yes of course, please tag us. **Q: Laminate or stained wood?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this laminate or stained wood? If Laminate, what brand and color? A: Thanks for the inquiry! The Walnut areas are real wood veneer, while the Oak areas are p. lam. Due to it being a proprietary vendor of the Scavolini cabinet manufacture, we don't have the source. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-13.*
