When the interior designer first viewed Bolefloor samples at our showroom, she knew the natural curves would add the distinctive warmth she wanted for this new high-rise home. The walnut planks follow the tree’s natural growth, allowing for more of nature’s beauty to be on display. Named after the old English word “bole” for the trunk of a tree, Bolefloor wood offers an unusual – and unusually beautiful – aesthetic. It’s also a sustainable option, using 20% more of each sawn plank, thereby producing less waste.

An exciting mixture of styles, this home blends the wrap-around porch of a country farmhouse with a brick and siding exterior, creating a unique and pleasing effect. In this house plan, the great room shares its cathedral ceiling with a distinctly open and unusual kitchen. With a generous U-shaped serving bar, the kitchen features room for many. Adding even more architectural interest, the dining room is octagonal shaped and is complemented by a splendid tray ceiling. Built-ins flank the great room's fireplace for added convenience. This home plan's master suite is complete with a tray ceiling, arched picture window, back-porch access, private bath and sizable walk-in closet. Another full bath with linen closet is shared by two bedrooms and a bedroom/study that shines with a Palladian window and a graceful tray ceiling.

Their South Minneapolis home was built in 1917, and while the home received lots of care and updates over the years, updating the garage had been put on the back burner for way too long. The original 14 X 20-foot garage, of unknown age, was just big enough for a single car. The owners jokingly called it a “Potato House,” as it was built into the ground, similar to a farmer’s out-building to store root vegetables (see before photo). As an Architect, the owner wanted the garage to have a more unusual design than the usual symmetrical gable roof of Minneapolis garages. The simplest way to construct a garage roof is with wood trusses. By simply altering the angles of the wood trusses allowed the structure to have a distinctive, asymmetrical roof design. The new 20 X 20-foot garage easily handles two cars. A single double-wide garage door makes parking cars in the busy alley quick and easy. To meet local construction codes, the South facing wall – five feet from the neighbor’s garage - is constructed with enhanced fire protection. The exterior siding is LP Smart Siding – a pre-finished wood product that is easy to install, durable, and looks great. The rear of the garage (facing the back of the home) uses the original front door of the main home built in 1917, adding character to the project. Three Andersen double pane windows let in ambient light. Although the garage is not heated, a new 120/240 Volt electric service and panel was installed, ready to recharge an electric vehicle. The result: a new, big, easily accessible garage that looks so much better than a “Potato House.” Note: Photos & design by Ken Stone, AIA.

Nestled on a picture-perfect hill country property with a serene creek running through it, this hill country modern family home is a blend of fun and sophistication. The exterior's combination of geometrical shapes and a distinctive color palette is inviting and pleasing to the eye. As light streams into the living room through walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, it creates a cheerful and bright atmosphere. This unmatched design with exquisite finishes generates a seamless confluence from the interior living spaces to the outside oasis. One of the unusual characteristics of this home was the expansive soil conditions on site. Removing four feet of soil and replacing it with fill material was an unusual process for us in the Hill Country but a needed process to safeguard this home for many years of enjoyment.
