Woodpecker proof siding is what these homeowners in Eden Prairie Minnesota wanted. These homeowner recently tackled a remodeling project that turned a frustrating situation into a stunning transformation. The main catalyst for the upgrade? Persistent woodpecker damage to the home’s existing cedar siding. After years of dealing with the unsightly holes and constant repairs, the homeowners decided to make a lasting change, opting for durable and aesthetically pleasing materials that would stand up to the elements — and the local wildlife. In addition to the siding, the project included the replacement of the windows with Marvin fiberglass windows in black. The sleek black frames created a striking contrast against the Iron Gray siding, adding a contemporary touch while improving energy efficiency and overall durability. A standout feature of the remodel was the entryway, which received special attention with the installation of thermally modified wood siding. This unique material, known for its enhanced stability and rich appearance, really set off the entryway, creating a warm and welcoming focal point that contrasted beautifully with the cool tones of the Iron Gray siding. The homeowners in Eden Prairie now have a home that is not only protected from woodpecker damage but also showcases modern design elements and materials that will last for years to come. The combination of woodpecker proof siding, black Marvin windows, and thermally modified wood has truly transformed the home into a standout in the neighborhood.

Crape Myrtle Towns across the South dedicate tours and festivals to crape myrtles. When the heat is on, they put on their best flower show. Known for their abundant blooms, crape myrtles are one of the most identifiable trees in our local landscapes. You'll find a wide variety of flower colors available, as well as plant sizes. But it's not just the flowers that make this small tree distinctive - it's bark puts on an equally impressive show. Crape myrtles need a full sun location in order to stay healthy and flower well. Plants in too much shade will grow thin, weak, and have persistent problems with sooty mold and pests. Be sure to check the mature size of the crape myrtle variety you select. You can find plants that grow as small as 1.5 feet...all the way up to 40 feet! Right plant, right place. Choose a crape myrtle that will fit the space you choose.

Set on a narrow hillside lot overlooking the San Francisco Bay in Point Richmond, California, Bay Heirloom is a Mid-Century Modern family home restored, modernized and adapted for contemporary living. Oriented south-southwest toward the Marin Headlands, with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the residence captures shifting Bay light throughout the day, from fog-muted mornings to vivid, glowing sunsets. The home was built by Karlyn Neel’s grandfather, the owner of the construction company Flo-Crete, one of the Bay Area’s early concrete pumping firms. Flo-Crete completed the foundation and structural concrete work, with family photographs documenting the original cinderblock walls and pours. The firm also contributed to major regional infrastructure projects, including the Transbay BART tube and Candlestick Park, situating the house within a broader legacy of Bay Area construction. Growing up, Neel spent considerable time in the home, developing an early appreciation for mid-century modern principles. Instead of parting with this family heirloom, she purchased the home from her grandfather’s estate. While her grandfather continued to live in the Point Richmond house, Neel purchased a Mid-Century Modern residence in Palm Desert. In contrast to the Bay Area’s cool temperatures, salt air, and persistent winds, the desert home is shaped by heat and sun and requires a different material response. A substantial renovation she led there emphasized thermal performance, filtered light, and restrained detailing. The experience later informed the restoration of her Bay Area family home. What began as a modest Mid-Century Modern update expanded when decades of exposure to marine conditions revealed leaks and significant structural and seismic deficiencies. Neel was determined to honor her grandfather’s perseverance and without hesitation pivoted to a much more intensive project. Addressing these challenges required close coordination between Neel, Klopf Architecture and Kasten Builders, with architectural restraint and construction precision guiding each intervention. Rather than alter the home’s defining features, the project focused on reinforcing the structure from within. Discreet beams were embedded along the rear facade and in an upstairs wall, strengthening the building while maximizing the wall of glass facing the Bay and opening the wall between the kitchen and the living space. These structural interventions allowed the space to open fully to the Bay without visual interruption, with the kitchen repositioned as the social and functional core of an open, continuous living space. The building envelope was updated using weather- and corrosion-resistant materials appropriate to the marine environment. The house unfolds vertically from the street, beginning with a modest garage level and workshop, with the main living spaces located below. Original slate flooring at the entry was preserved, along with select furnishings and artwork collected by Neel’s grandfather, anchoring the restored interior in its past. A restrained palette of black accents and pale, natural finishes replaces darker wood tones, reinforcing openness and calm. A naturally illuminated stair connects to the lowest level, where a former basement was transformed into a guest suite and family room opening onto a deck. From there, steps lead directly to a small concrete boat ramp at the water’s edge. Throughout the project, decisions were guided by continuity rather than transformation for its own sake. Lessons drawn from both desert and coastal climates informed a material strategy rooted in performance and restraint. Bay Heirloom stands as a measured evolution of a family house, structurally renewed and carefully modernized, grounded in the discipline and care that first shaped it.
