We are big proponents of building science to create comfortable and healthy (think allergies) environments for our clients. So much so, that we have incorporated this approach to our “comprehensive services” for our clients. It all comes down to a well-thought-out HVAC system.

The paint on this room was in good condition so no updates were necessary. The bedding and décor were chosen to complement the window treatments left as a nod to the previous owners. Similar styles had been hung throughout the home but removed when the rooms were painted.

This spacious master bedroom features 9' 6" ceilings, ducted central air conditioning & plenty of natural sunlight from the large window.

....and the completed room! We were especially satisfied with the air conditioning unit located in the ceiling. Not only does it save space, but it is quite inconspicuous above eye level!

This growing family needed more living space in their 1926 St. Paul, MN Bungalow, and had great potential in their unfinished attic for a new master suite. Castle began working with the city to grandfather some existing conditions in, like the steeper stairs and lower ceiling height to comply with building codes. New insulation, interior walls, electrical, heating, and a full interior finish was planned. The finished space incorporates traditional millwork matching the lower level of the home, a custom built-in bookshelf, new white doors, and pre-finished white oak hardwood floors in a rich Licorice stain. The dark floors and oil-bronze accents throughout the space really anchors the room and completes an overall bright color pallet with high contrast. In the new bathroom, a cement tile floor was selected to tie in the homeowner’s classy flair. Switching the finishes to polished brass inside the bathroom really brings a lux and regal feel to the space. Paired with traditional subway tile, white vanity, refurbished vintage medicine cabinet, and neutral walls, the new bathroom is elegant, yet understated. One of our favorite features is the use of the two existing dormers. One dormer was converted into a new walk-in closet with custom glass closet doors, so the light can still shine into the bedroom. The 2nd dormer, we left open for a quaint sitting and reading nook. See full details (including before photos) at http://www.castlebri.com/attics/project-3299-1/ Designed by: Emily Blonigen

Our client came to us having recently purchased a home next to their grandchildren. Unfortunately the home was not in livable condition. The homeowners were looking for something modest and traditional for them to enjoy. The project features engineered wood flooring and countertops.

This 1960s home was in original condition and badly in need of some functional and cosmetic updates. We opened up the great room into an open concept space, converted the half bathroom downstairs into a full bath, and updated finishes all throughout with finishes that felt period-appropriate and reflective of the owner's Asian heritage.

A client for whom we had previously undertaken a gut renovation decided to buy a larger home in the same building. The new unit was in "original condition;" the decor and layout was unchanged in 50 years. We worked with them to reconfigure the floor plan to better meet their needs and we replaced all flooring, lighting, plumbing, and kitchen fixtures. This home was totally transformed.
