Mark D. Williams Custom Homes is a third-generation, award-winning Twin Cities builder creating wellness-focused custom homes and remodels.
Building runs in our family, and for more than two decades I've had the privilege of designing, building, and remodeling custom homes across the western suburbs and around Lake Minnetonka. I still love dreaming up a client's home as much as they do.
We believe a home should do more than look beautiful. It should support how your family actually lives, rests, and gathers. That's why we build around wellness. Our 8 Pillars of Wellness (Air, Water, Light, Sound, Material, Energy, Recovery, and Longevity) guide every decision, from fresh-air ventilation and whole-home water treatment to natural light, quiet acoustics, non-toxic materials, and spaces for recovery like saunas and cold plunges. Our design roots are Scandinavian and biophilic: natural materials, warm wood, and a real connection to the outdoors in every Minnesota season.
You can see it in Mysa Hus, our Scandinavian-inspired wellness home in Cottagewood, created with Karl Adalbert Architecture & Design, Oho Interiors, and more than 30 brand partners. More than 3,500 people walked through its doors during the 2026 Artisan Home Tour, and Housing First Minnesota honored it with three awards: Best Home on the Artisan Home Tour, Best Social Media Campaign, and Best New Innovation.
Whether you bring your own architect and designer or want us to design alongside you, we treat every project as if it were our own home. Clients are partners. We communicate openly, keep a close eye on your budget, and rely on a loyal network of trade partners who share our standards for craftsmanship.
We're honored to have been named 2021 Builder of the Year, and we're a certified Green Path builder. I also host The Curious Builder Podcast, where I talk with the architects, designers, and artisans who make this industry great, because we believe sharing what we learn makes all of us better.
Let's build a home that helps your family thrive. Stop by our office in Excelsior or visit mdwilliamshomes.com.
