The "Minnesota Craftsman" in Long Lake, Minnesota, is a stunning example of Rustic Craftsman architecture brought to life through intricate timber engineering. Completed in 2004, the home features a nearly full timber frame constructed from premium Douglas fir—chosen for its high bending strength and warm visual character. The architectural centerpiece is the great room, spanned by a dramatic scissor brace truss that maximizes ceiling height while maintaining structural efficiency. This soaring space is anchored by a massive double-sided stone fireplace featuring a mechanically integrated reclaimed timber mantle. The exterior envelope balances durability and authenticity, wrapping the timber core in cedar shakes and locally sourced stone, surrounded by a classic covered wrap-around veranda.

Landscape by Stonepocket located in Minnetonka, Minnesota Creating a elegant landscape to blend with a home with such character and charm was a challenge in controlled resistant. Did not want the landscape to overwhelm the home, nor did I want a typical landscape for this style that usually involves a box hedge. Utilizing light in the front to create a perennial garden give the home a sense of place. Keep the planting mostly to whites and greens in the back unifies the space. photos by Stonepocket, Inc

Located on the Knife River just outside Mora, MN this family hunting cabin has year round functionality.

Energy efficiency is a key benefit in all of our projects. For this fishing and hunting cabin, the owner is guaranteed a warm and dry cabin to return to after a day of duck hunting or snowmobiling. Saddle notch corners with wide chink lines also add a rustic look and feel. Howard Homes Inc. designed and built this cabin.

The shower includes dual shower areas, four body spray tiles (two on each side) and a large glass surround keeping the uncluttered theme for the room while still offering privacy with an etched “belly band” around the perimeter. The etching is only on the outside of the glass with the inside being kept smooth for cleaning purposes. The end result is a bathroom that is luxurious and light, with nothing extraneous to distract the eye. The peaceful and quiet ambiance that the room exudes hit exactly the mark that the clients were looking for.
