Home office - eclectic home office idea in Minneapolis

Winner of the 2018 Tour of Homes Best Remodel, this whole house re-design of a 1963 Bennet & Johnson mid-century raised ranch home is a beautiful example of the magic we can weave through the application of more sustainable modern design principles to existing spaces. We worked closely with our client on extensive updates to create a modernized MCM gem. Extensive alterations include: - a completely redesigned floor plan to promote a more intuitive flow throughout - vaulted the ceilings over the great room to create an amazing entrance and feeling of inspired openness - redesigned entry and driveway to be more inviting and welcoming as well as to experientially set the mid-century modern stage - the removal of a visually disruptive load bearing central wall and chimney system that formerly partitioned the homes’ entry, dining, kitchen and living rooms from each other - added clerestory windows above the new kitchen to accentuate the new vaulted ceiling line and create a greater visual continuation of indoor to outdoor space - drastically increased the access to natural light by increasing window sizes and opening up the floor plan - placed natural wood elements throughout to provide a calming palette and cohesive Pacific Northwest feel - incorporated Universal Design principles to make the home Aging In Place ready with wide hallways and accessible spaces, including single-floor living if needed - moved and completely redesigned the stairway to work for the home’s occupants and be a part of the cohesive design aesthetic - mixed custom tile layouts with more traditional tiling to create fun and playful visual experiences - custom designed and sourced MCM specific elements such as the entry screen, cabinetry and lighting - development of the downstairs for potential future use by an assisted living caretaker - energy efficiency upgrades seamlessly woven in with much improved insulation, ductless mini splits and solar gain

This sculpture garden was designed as a quiet counterpoint to the energy of the adjacent student union plaza, offering a space of pause within campus life. Influenced by the Asian origins and minimalist qualities of Six Foot Energy Void, Endless Coupling, and The Fountain from the Nelson-Atkins collection, the garden emphasizes simplicity, balance, and spatial clarity. An open circulation strategy allows for intuitive movement and fluid transitions, while carefully framed moments create intimacy and separation from surrounding activity. The result is a contemplative landscape that invites both passage and pause, integrating art into daily student experience without overwhelming it.

Sophisticated design of the Axor Citterio E Thermostatic 2-Function Trim Module makes showering easier: The diverter handle, featuring clear symbols, to intuitively control the outlets and the iconic cross handle to conveniently control the water volume. The water temperature is regulated via the cylindrical thermostatic handle. The ergonomic holder of the wallbar with double railing provides for easy height adjustment of the handshower.

Client’s were seeking a luminous, coastal-inspired kitchen that honored Puget Sound views, the clients required a high-functioning space for an expanding family, including four adult children and future in-laws. The plan prioritizes abundant storage, intuitive cooking and cleanup zones, and seamless guest circulation that preserves the workflow. Custom walnut base cabinetry lends resilience, warmth, and visual depth, balanced by honed quartz and airy wall cabinetry. Navy island cabinetry, nautical fixtures, and a mixed hue backsplash evoke the shoreline without feeling overly thematic.

Variety of volume and the search for different depths are the features which make the Leonardo living room accessories unique. The classical style which blends contemporary volumes sets your rooms a class apart. The ingenious intuition lies in interpreting the classical style for modern spaces without betraying the Italian spirit for furnishing style - result of strong traditions and a truly unique creativity.

Plants and greenery are important in every room. They symbolize life and balance and anchor the room. The mirror above the plant serves several purposes, it helps reflect light around the room, by day with sunlight streaming through the doors, and at night by reflecting the glow of light from the lamps on the other side of the room. The mirror in white washed and wood continues the rustic/aged look. The intention of this design is to say: this coastal home has been loved and shared for generations here on the coast, making one forget that they've just walked into an apartment. Intuitively, this gives my client the feeling of being "settled and secure", helping her not feel as uneasy as one does when they move to a new home.

For the host, clutter is the enemy of peace. We designed this kitchen with high-stakes utility in mind, including an integrated appliance garage to keep counters clear and the focus on the design. Every inch was mapped out to ensure the flow between the prep zones and the social island was intuitive. We don’t just build kitchens; we build managed environments where the technical details (like restoring 20-year-old trim) are handled with absolute accountability so the client can simply enjoy the result.

A redesigned curved staircase serves as a focal point within the Canopy Residence renovation in Unionville, Ontario. Custom oak detailing, refined black metal spindles, and a tailored stair runner bring warmth and architectural character to the home's entry sequence. Curved openings and improved sightlines strengthen the connection between surrounding living spaces while supporting a more open and intuitive flow throughout the home.
