This renovation was for a couple who were world travelers and wanted to bring their collected furniture pieces from other countries into the eclectic design of their house. The style is a mix of contemporary with the façade of the house, the entryway door, the stone on the fireplace, the quartz kitchen countertops, the mosaic kitchen backsplash are in juxtaposition to the traditional kitchen cabinets, hardwood floors and style of the master bath and closet. As you enter through the handcrafted window paned door into the foyer, you look up to see the wood trimmed clearstory windows that lead to the backyard entrance. All of the shutters are remote controlled so as to make for easy opening and closing. The house became a showcase for the special pieces and the designer and clients were pleased with the result.

Bathroom - mid-sized modern master medium tone wood floor, brown floor and double-sink bathroom idea in Minneapolis with shaker cabinets, gray cabinets, white walls, an undermount sink, quartz countertops, white countertops and a built-in vanity

White walls, dark floors, modern art and large-scale windows make this living room a charming respite with its glamorous, gold accents. Couple this with detailed moldings, high ceilings and a gorgeous stone mantel and you get this glorious, sublime space.

This home features a unique architectural design that emphasizes texture over color. Throughout the interior and exterior of the home, the materials truly shine. Smooth glass, chunky wood, rough stone, and textured concrete are combined to create a neutral palate that has interest and the feeling of movement. Despite such heavy building materials, the architectural design of the home feels much lighter than the traditional rustic mountain home thanks to expansive windows that flood the interior with natural light and create a connection between the inside of the home and out. This connection between the inside and out creates a true feeling of a mountain escape while the laid-back approach to the design creates a relaxing retreat experience. The A5f series of windows with double pane glazing was selected for the project for the clean and modern aesthetic, the durability of all-aluminum frames, and the ease of installation with integrated nail flange. High-performance spacers, low iron glass, larger continuous thermal breaks, and multiple air seals all contribute to better performance than is seen in traditional aluminum windows. This means that larger expanses of glazing provide the feeling of indoor-outdoor integration while also maintaining comfort and protection from the weather year-round.

Three bedrooms were reconfigured into 2, and a large master suite was created. A sitting area with custom cabinetry sits to the right of the sleeping area. Rather than close off an existing window, the clients' desire for light was met by replacing the window panes with glass block against which we placed their queen bed.
