This family room is part of the larger addition. We used the original french doors from the dining room and created custom replica doors in between to preserve the overall feel and uniformity of the home. We also added custom crown molding that matched the main part of the home and woodwork around the new chimney that mirrored the style of this 200 year old home.

A complete interior build out of a two level penthouse located on Market Street. The design highlights the dramatic downtown views by visually separating the inner and outer bands of the living space. The use of light colors at the windows creates a visual extension to the "sky-zone". Structural alterations were required to create a mezzanine and stair opening to the 2nd level. Finishes include cantilevered steel and wood stairs, stainless steel kitchen countertops and a custom wine storage unit. The use of telescoping doors in the master suite provides privacy from the living/media room below. A modern master bath includes SwitchLite privacy glass that changes from clear to translucent glass.

A built-in media cabinet can make a corner almost disappear as it smooths the edges of the room. Fitted with mullioned glass doors and solid lower doors, it serves as both a display cabinet and provides storage for books and routers, serving a purpose that's both functional and stylish.

No strangers to remodeling, the new owners of this St. Paul tudor knew they could update this decrepit 1920 duplex into a single-family forever home. A list of desired amenities was a catalyst for turning a bedroom into a large mudroom, an open kitchen space where their large family can gather, an additional exterior door for direct access to a patio, two home offices, an additional laundry room central to bedrooms, and a large master bathroom. To best understand the complexity of the floor plan changes, see the construction documents. As for the aesthetic, this was inspired by a deep appreciation for the durability, colors, textures and simplicity of Norwegian design. The home’s light paint colors set a positive tone. An abundance of tile creates character. New lighting reflecting the home’s original design is mixed with simplistic modern lighting. To pay homage to the original character several light fixtures were reused, wallpaper was repurposed at a ceiling, the chimney was exposed, and a new coffered ceiling was created. Overall, this eclectic design style was carefully thought out to create a cohesive design throughout the home. Come see this project in person, September 29 – 30th on the 2018 Castle Home Tour.
