White Oaks Savanna Residence
Our client came to us with a clear and inspiring goal: to create a multi-generational home that could adapt to their family’s evolving needs while honoring the natural beauty of a six-acre restored prairie in eastern Minnesota. From the outset, it was evident that this project was about more than just building a house—it was about designing a home that would exist in quiet dialogue with its landscape.
North Oaks Remodel
The project creates a strong sense of place by reimagining a previously disjointed and compartmentalized home into a cohesive, light-filled environment that better reflects the rhythms of daily life for a family of six.
Mahtomedi Residence
Presenting a curated and restrained one level street front, this home opens up to sweeping views of the lake at the lake side. Three vertical concrete massing elements help to organize and define the program inside the home, reinforcing the permeability of light and views and the relationship to the lake.
Copper mountain Residence
Working within strict local design covenants, we were interested in defining a nuanced balance between modern and traditional while challenging the locally accepted conventions of "mountain modern." Partnering closely with our structural engineer, we developed a hybrid language of a true timber frame and traditional construction, with the living, dining and kitchen areas featuring exposed solid timber trusses.
Dellwood Residence
Many lake homes in the region are precisely that – a home on a lake, and in their composition, delineation of public, private and indoor/outdoor spaces and detailing are virtually indistinguishable from non-lake homes. We argue that instead of a home on a lake, our client’s home is a home with the lake.
