Minnesota’s residential builders, remodelers, and suppliers believe that housing is everything. Not only does the industry create communities that we all call home, but it also engages deeply in charitable activity through the association’s nonprofit charitable arm, the Housing First Minnesota Foundation.

E N D I N G H O M E L E SS N E SS I N M I N N E S OTA The Foundation’s vision is to end homelessness in Minnesota through remodeling and building transitional housing that supports veterans, people with disabilities, and mothers in recovery who are taking steps to rebuild their lives.

There are more than 8,000 Minnesotans who are homeless on any given day in Minnesota, including 250 veterans.

Many are in crisis. This is why the Housing First Minnesota Foundation partners with nonprofit service organizations that provide supportive services to create dignified transitional housing to serve those experiencing housing instability.

Each community build is led by a builder or remodeler who is a member of Housing First Minnesota and works in collaboration with their trade partners who invest labor, expertise, and materials. Donations also play a vital role in funding these transitional housing projects to make a positive impact on people’s lives.

IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY?

C L I E N T ’ S V I S I O N TO L I F E ?

My uncle was an architect, and my aunt was a real estate agent in Colorado who sold new construction. When I was younger, for Christmas, my uncle and aunt always bought me architectural scales, pencils, drawing paper, and triangles. I was always surrounded by real estate, so when I was a senior in college, I decided to get my real estate license and start selling new construction. Within three months, I knew I wanted to build new homes. Now, after 33 years, I’ve got a complete understanding of all aspects of real estate, development, and building.

Teamwork. When I first meet a client, I ask them who they are thinking about as an architect on the project. If they are unsure, I listen and am able to help. Once the architect has been added to the team, we then add the interior designer right away. The best way to bring a client’s dream to life is to make sure that everyone understands the emotional and philosophical choices of their vision. It’s important from the first design meetings to have the team together with the client to listen and understand. Once construction starts, there is a clear path that creates that special home!

As a general contractor, I get inspiration from my clients, architects, and designers. ADOR is not a design-build firm. We specialize in custom, one-of-akind homes that are dreamt up by our clients and brought to life by a great team. I love the experience of discovery with clients—I’d say that is the most fun part of the process as everyone has something of a vision to start, but yet they come to us to help organize that vision.

YO U R FAV O R I T E T R E N D S AND STYLES IN NEW

I love that Minnesotans have embraced the modern home. It has been refreshing to see another style permeate our market. That has opened up so much in way of architecture and styles. I’m also excited that so many in our market are open to new design styles.

You see many interior designers mixing and matching designs and colors. There has been so much diversity which makes building more fun!

W H AT I N S P I R E S A N D I N F L U E N C E S

Being a boutique builder, we intentionally take on fewer projects each year, so there’s more time to focus on our clients. As a design-build firm, we act as a one-stop shop in the homebuilding journey, which creates a very streamlined process. Before we begin designing a home, we take the time to get to know our clients and understand the way they live. This knowledge helps us create a home that’s tailored to their lifestyle.

We take a collaborative approach to every project. From the beginning, we have all parties involved to make sure we have a thorough understanding of our clients’ wants, needs, budget, lifestyle, as well as any site conditions or limitations. This helps inform the plans and selections, so all the details are worked through and we have a solid scope before we move into construction.

PROJECT?

Our clients are hands down the biggest inspiration when it comes to the homes we build. We believe every home should be designed around the people that live in it, so their personalities and lifestyles are the key inspiration. Outside of that, we gain a lot of inspiration from traveling, whether that be through materials, construction methods, technology, or design.

We spend a lot of time understanding the way our clients live and their design inspirations. Our goal is to bring out their personalities in the design, and not force design ideals on them. This allows us to create a home that complements their daily habits and finish it in a way that exudes their style. We pair that with quality materials and construction practices that will stand the test of time. We enjoy building a wide range of styles, as it keeps our team on our toes!

KIRSTEN ERICKSON & ETHAN KINDSETH

W H AT D O YO U E N J OY M O S T A B O U T

We love the fact that every home we build is unique and we’ll never build another home like it again. It’s incredibly rewarding seeing the fruits of your labor and being able to bring the clients’ visions to life.

We are truly partners in the process.

From the initial design meetings to follow-up service, we are always there to provide insight and guidance. Knowing every aspect of the design, selections, and how everything fits together is not only valuable, but crucial to understanding the goals of the client and to better guide the project from start to finish.

We all sit in on design meetings, work on pricing, present proposals, and are on-site daily until the project is completed. Not to mention being accessible and available to help after you move in.

W H AT A R E S O M E O F YO U R FAV O R I T E T R E N D S I N NEW CONSTRUCTION?

We believe that the future of homebuilding isn’t about new colors, countertops, and automation—it's about health and energy. Understanding the building techniques and technology that support a healthy indoor environment is the future.

Health and energy converge with insulation and ventilation advancements to provide the energy savings needed to sustain the environment. It’s not about adding solar panels or more inches of insulation, it’s about understanding the cost and benefits in tomorrow’s dollars, without breaking the bank today.

Health and energy are not just a trend, it will be the most important aspect of homebuilding going forward.

The entire build team must share similar values to deliver the same high-quality standard outcomes for clients. From the first conversation to the final steps of construction, landscaping, and warranty maintenance, a hands-on contractor being there every step of the way will greatly impact the final result.

The team needs to consist of talented and experienced field managers that supervise the day-to-day details of the home site and TEAM?

From millennials to middle-aged to aging in place, we are encouraging clients to spend the time to decide what spaces they need in their home—and only build those spaces. Go back to simplicity. The baby boomer generation is looking to single-level living with one or two owners’ suites on the main level, foregoing a second floor and finished basement, creating a “forever home.”

Millennials want small and simple. Most will have one to two children, so they are not going to build the “typical” five-bedroom, PROCESS?

five-bathroom home. City Homes is the expert in rightsizing. We want to build spaces that are right for each client. We have the design ideas to fit your lifestyle needs now and into the future.

M&M Home Contractors has more than 20 years of experience. Mike Fritz, the owner, started his career out in architectural design which inspired him to take that knowledge and passion into building custom homes. Having experienced the way other local builders did business gave us a vision of how we wanted to handle projects and work with homeowners.

Hands down, it’s communication. Whether it’s communication between our project managers and our subcontractors, or with our homeowners, a successful build team is going to have good communication. There are countless details that go into building a custom home and those details need to be incorporated timely and efficiently to save costs and avoid delays in the build TEAM?

process. Our company has been built on a work ethic of self-performance and teamwork. We work with a select group of subcontractors with whom we have spent years forging lasting relationships. This helps to ensure that we can provide our clients with the best service and quality both during the building process, and long after they have moved into their new home.

At Mikan, we feel we offer a unique opportunity where one of the two owners manages each project. We feel that allows us to make decisions on the spot without having to deal with a chain of communication where things could get lost.

All our clients know that they can reach out to either Mike or Ryan at any time to talk through whatever questions they may have.

A B O U T YO U R C O M PA N Y ? The thing that drives us more than anything else is the relationships that we build with our clients. Our goal is to provide our clients with spaces in which they can make lifelong memories. Nothing makes us happier than when we get invited back to enjoy these new spaces with our clients. Being able to go through a build or remodel with a client and keep that relationship is something that is at the core of our company and which we strive for on every project.

W H AT I N S P I R E S A N D I N F L U E N C E S

Our work is inspired by the clients and designers that we work with. At Mikan Custom Homes we like to be both flexible and diverse in the style of work that we do. We treat every project as a blank canvas that is developed and designed by the entire team involved in the building process.

We build to our client’s style. Each home is a unique prototype, designed and built for a specific family. We coach our clients throughout the design process—selecting an architect that understands and has a passion for the client’s aesthetic and architectural style, and then selecting an interior designer to work through the materials, palette, and furnishing. It is a timetested process that not only streamlines the process, it also affords a great level of enjoyment for all involved from start to finish.

DIRECTIONS: From the intersection of US-12 and County Road 6; County Road 6 north

•

To achieve the homeowners’ Japandi vision, the builders incorporated white oak cabinetry with frosted glass doors, white oak slat detailing, Asian-inspired wallcoverings, and clean, crisp modern light fixtures, including a large paper lantern fixture.

•

A raised ceiling with white oak slat detailing in the great room draws attention to the focal point of the space: floor-toceiling custom stonework on the fireplace.

Multigenerational living was an important consideration for this floor plan. Both the primary suite and guest suite—boasting its own living area—are situated on the main level. Two additional bedrooms in the lower level round out accommodations for visiting friends and family.

Guests will wonder how the homeowners pull off flawless fêtes with zero mess. The secret? Two kitchens: One presentation

kitchen—anchored by an 11-foot quartzite island, a wine fridge, and a gourmet coffee and wine bar—and a full prep kitchen where top-of-the-line appliances like the 60-inch Wolf range, two dishwashers 36-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, and 36-inch freezer are housed behind a double pocket door.

•

No need to worry about muddy boots and paws tracking through the home after a day of adventuring with four-legged family members. Step through the four-car garage into the rear foyer, complete with a bench, hooks and lockers, a laundry room, and a canine suite, featuring multiple dog kennels and cabinet space for supplies.

•

Leisure activities are put on full display in the lower level, where the homeowners can enjoy a media room and game room, with a wet bar and wine display, billiards, and a walkout patio to the pool.

•

The design is in the details for this twostory home, as seen in the fresh color palette, wire-brushed oak floors, one-ofa-kind tile, hand-crafted light fixtures, and custom-designed door hardware.

•

Entertaining is put on autopilot with a chef’s gourmet kitchen complete with a large Cambria island and Signature Kitchen Suite appliances, including a 48inch range with induction and sous vide.

•

Guests can mingle in the open concept formal dining room, great room, or threeseason porch—don’t miss the reclaimed wood beams and full-height stone fireplace—while food and beverage prep is kept hidden in the large walk-in pantry.

•

The primary suite doubles as a spa-like retreat with a bathroom decked in mosaic marble floors and a freestanding

tub overlooking the lawn. An additional four bedrooms round out the floor plan, including a separate “children’s wing” complete with its own lounge.

•

Spaces for personal hobbies and leisure activities abound with an upper-level flex media room hidden behind a secret bookcase, a main-floor library, and a walkout lower level featuring a full bar and wine cellar, billiards room, and indoor athletic court.

•

Utility spaces were not overlooked in the floor plan. Busy families will love the mudroom with built-in lockers and a walkin closet, as well as the three-car garage made with cabinets for gardening, sports, and storage.

8 B AT H R O O M S

Lake Minnetonka and downtown Wayzata are both within reach for this 7,790-square-foot home on a wooded lot in a private community of six homes. Built for an active family, this new build has everything needed to function efficiently in today’s environment: two offices, an exercise room, a swimming pool, and plenty of room for entertaining.

SHUTTLE ACCESS ONLY DIRECTIONS: US-12/I-394 west to County Road 15 exit north;

•

To combine the homeowners’ two distinctive interior design tastes—sleek, contemporary spaces versus classic elements and soft colors—Lecy Bros. outfitted traditional silhouettes with simple moldings and sharp details.

•

Modern, transitional, and rustic furnishings in sophisticated textiles like velvet and leather were selected to create spaces that feel curated over time, rather than cookiecutter and turnkey.

Immediate right onto Frontage Road/Wayzata Boulevard (on north side of US-12); Follow signs to shuttle parking at 15550 Wayzata Boulevard

•

The builders opted to use materials like marble, wood, and plaster in their simplest forms to exude raw beauty, layering in artisan-style wallcoverings and highcontrast finishes to craft textural, elegant spaces.

•

The builders played with scale in the ceilings, windows, fireplace, and fixtures to achieve a sense of grandeur and formality, while also remaining grounded and comfortable.

•

As you walk through the double doors to the primary bathroom, you can’t miss the crown jewel of the space: a sculptural tub crowned with a Capiz light fixture.

•

Year-round leisure lives in the lower level, where you’ll find an exercise room connected to an athletic court, a wet bar and wine cellar, and a large family room primed for movie nights.

•

Outside, a deck, patio, and pool area invite you to soak up as much of Minnesota summers as possible.

The centerpiece in the living room is the oversized fireplace wall, featuring slabs of marble-mimicking porcelain.

Exterior materials were carefully chosen to embody the waterfront location. The majority of the home’s lake side is glass to take in the stunning views, while a cedar shake roof, handmade white oak front door, stonework, cedar shingle siding, and custom cedar garage doors complement the surrounding nature.

Traditional and timeless features inside include custom cabinetry and handmade doors; natural stone, marble, and porcelain tilework; and white oak floors that flow throughout the open floor plan that allows for continuous views of the lake.

A passion for entertaining is highlighted by the home’s layout. Behind grand French doors, the foyer invites guests into the gathering room. The adjoining bar area invites them to grab a drink and settle in the four-season porch or deck, complete with a gas fire pit.

•

The new remote-job reality is elevated in the main-level home office, where a fireplace and adjacent balcony create true work-life balance.

•

The primary suite dominates half of the upper level with a seating area and fireplace in the bedroom, two vanities and a soaking tub in the bathroom, and a walkin closet anchored by an island.

•

Indoor-outdoor living is emphasized by the patio surrounded by retractable Phantom Screens, connecting the pool, hot tub, and outdoor lounge to the lower level, where a game space, media area, and bar and wine cellar are ready to entertain.

Comfort and luxury combine in this Lake Minnetonka residence. Perched on a site overlooking Cooks Bay, the exterior stylings—from the gray cedar shake siding to the white trim and dormers—perfectly suit the waterfront location.

•

Oak wood floors, crown molding, cased openings, and pops of color against an otherwise-neutral color palette add warmth throughout the home.

•

The centrally located kitchen, outfitted with custom cabinetry, barnwood ceiling beams, and Cambria countertops, acts as the heart of the home with sightlines to the foyer, gathering room, and dining room.

•

A convertible room adjacent to the kitchen allows the homeowners flex space with a gray-washed barnwood ceiling, natural stone fireplace, shiplap accents, and, most importantly, views of the pool and lake.

A freestanding soaking tub is the focal point in the primary bath, surrounded by a wall-to-wall double vanity, an open shower glass wall, porcelain tile, and heated floors.

The adjoining closet features a pocket door leading to a conveniently located laundry room.

•

Designated spaces for prep and storage keep the home organized, from the pantry and kitchen support area—including its own dishwasher and sink—to the mudroom off the three-car garage, designed with a drop desk, lockers, and a closet for gear.

•

There’s no lack of entertaining amenities in the lower level, featuring media and game rooms, a steam shower in the pool bath, and a golf simulator when it’s too cold to hit the links outside—or you just need to practice your swing.

•

Who needs a sports bar to watch the big game when there’s a full bar in the lower level, complete with its own TV and dishwasher, stained cabinetry, granite countertops, and colorful tiled backsplash.

A floating staircase with a metal railing leads to the lower level, where, in addition to guest rooms, you’ll find a U-shaped bar with concrete countertops and a recreation area with a dartboard and shuffleboard. But perhaps most unique is the hunting game room with wingback chairs, a coffee table, plaid carpet, and trophy mounts.

Through a fully equipped exercise room with rubber flooring, gain access to the hot tub and pool area. A detached pool house with a living room, bathroom, and full kitchen keeps wet swimsuits and footprints from tracking through the main house.

During the building process of this 3,650-square-foot home in Excelsior, the clients’ goal wasn’t to be trendy, but to ensure that every detail had a purpose and fit with the overall design of the house. The result is a thoughtfully crafted new build that radiates a transitional, classic-meets-contemporary interior style from top to bottom.

•

On the exterior, clean white siding, black window and door trim, and front porch columns evoke a modern farmhouse aesthetic.

•

In the gathering room, the fireplace anchors the space and sets the tone for the rest of the house, featuring a linear fireplace with custom steel paneling, Venetian plaster, natural stone, and oneof-a-kind floating shelves.

•

High-quality materials and furnishings are on display in the kitchen, where Cambria countertops complement top-of-the-line Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Cove appliances, including an additional oven hidden in the pantry for easy food prep.

The main-floor bar was made on site to allow the entire grain of white oak to flow floor to ceiling with no seaming of stiles and rails. A second bar on the lower level is adorned with unique custom details, from the wall treatments to the shelving.

•

A main-floor primary suite—complete with custom nightstands and an L-shaped walk-in closet—creates one-level living for the homeowners to age in place. In the primary bath, a dual vanity, relaxing soaking tub, and shower with bench seating create a spa-like experience.

•

An additional three bedrooms on the lower level welcome visiting friends and family.

•

The cordless home office will impress even the most tech-savvy homeowner and is finished with custom black metal and glass paneling and door.

•

The spacious three-car garage leads to a mudroom outfitted with solid oak doors alongside tongue-and-groove, rift-cut white oak paneling. An adjoining laundry room can instantly capture wet, snowy clothing, making for a seamless, messfree transition from outside to inside.

In keeping with a classic lakeside home, traditional cedar shake siding pairs with fieldstone and brick accents on the exterior. Inside, the aesthetic continues with a natural color palette, white oak flooring, and marble and slate tile.

While an open floor plan on the main level encourages family time—with the kitchen serving as the true heart of the home—there are also plenty of spaces for individual activities, like reading in the study or watching a movie in the den.

A mix of black, polished nickel, and soft brass metals gives the home a lived-in quality, while light fixtures were carefully selected to stand the test of time in quality, finish, and design.

•

Perched on top of a hill, each room showcases a unique bird’s eye view of the surrounding lakes.

•

The spacious primary suite wing is inspired by a spa retreat, complete with a double-sided fireplace, a soaking tub, and 360-degree views.

•

A dining room with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides makes you feel like you’re enjoying your meal al fresco—no matter the season.

•

Five lockers in the mudroom ensure there is plenty of space for all family members to store their bags, shoes, and coats. Fido wasn’t forgotten either, as a dog door leads directly to a kennel in the three-car garage.

The front door and all the interior doors are rift-only, vertical-grain white oak handcrafted by Craftsmen in Wood out of Phoenix, AZ. All the windows and doors feature a kerf jamb drywall return, meaning the drywall corner bead connects directly into the jambs providing a clean, minimalist look.

The open floor plan allows for clear sightlines from the kitchen to the dining room, nook, living room, and terrace— ideal for entertaining, as is the scullery that keeps prep work hidden from guests.

•

A long gallery hallway on the upper level that showcases the homeowners’ love of art leads to the primary bedroom, complete with an anteroom, his-and-hers vanities, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private sauna.

•

Radiant in-floor heat throughout the main level, garage, and bathrooms keeps the home cozy on even the coldest Minnesota days.

•

The often aesthetically unappealing HVAC registers have been replaced with linear diffusers that are integrated directly into the drywall.

•

The 1,400-bottle wine cellar adjacent to the mudroom is outfitted with a ceiling finished with wine crates from the homeowners’ collection.

Inspiration is everywhere—from the places we visit, photos online, fashion trends, and just the everyday world around us. But neither inspiration nor current trends matter if they don’t resonate with our client.

At Highmark, we want to know what inspires our clients. What do they want more from their current homes? Once that’s understood, we can engage and collaborate with our award-winning Ruby+Suede team to bring the project to life.

If the last couple of years taught us anything, it’s that we’re more attached to our homes than ever before. So, we want the greatest experiences from them. That’s why we love anything to do with elevating that experience—be it connecting outdoor spaces to the home for more entertaining, adding wood-burning fireplaces with character-driven surrounds for better ambiance, or building out a home office to make working from home even more rewarding.

What generally starts as a napkin sketch, quickly turns into CAD, and then into reality. 3-D imaging makes everything easier for the client to understand and visualize.

No two remodels— or clients—are the same. It’s not so much a style as it is a process. First, I try to understand what it is they’re looking for, and then go forward with a plan. When I’m done, the home should look like it was always intended to be that way.

WHOLE-HOME REMODEL

This truly one-of-a-kind whole-house remodel is set on a sprawling, 40-acre property with sweeping views of the nearby Credit River.

Blending contemporary touches with industrial fixtures, the home has been transformed to seamlessly fit the family’s needs.

DIRECTIONS: I-35 south; Exit 84 for County Road 60/185th Street W.; Go west on

•

The striking exterior is clad in Kasota limestone block, Corten metal, and corrugated metal.

•

Unique design details abound throughout this remodeled home, from the Kasota limestone fireplaces and interior block walls to the exposed interior ceilings with beams adorning the first floor.

•

The kitchen is every chef’s dream, with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, Dekton countertops with a mitered edge, and charcoal gray cabinetry to contrast the Kasota stone accents.

•

The updated primary suite includes an allnew bath with walnut cabinetry, miterededge countertops, a wall-hung toilet, and a freestanding tub on a teak platform. The showstopper is an eye-popping shower with a rounded shape finished in glass mosaic tile.

County Road 60; Left on Natchez Avenue; West on Credit River Boulevard; Left onto Hampshire Court

•

An addition—including a four-car garage, exercise room, flex space, and guest bedroom with an en suite—is accessed by a catwalk that floats over the existing living room and stairway. The new garage has an additional door on the backside that opens to an athletic court with stadiumstyle seating, a batting cage, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a volleyball court.

•

Work up a sweat in the state-of-the-art exercise room with a beautiful arched wood ceiling detail and sweeping views of the property.

•

Outside, the pool and hot tub will provide endless hours of entertainment and are just steps from a full pool house and outdoor bar.

•

What was formerly a horse barn has been transformed into the ultimate recreation center, including a kitchen and bath remodel. Now, the space serves as a game room complete with a golf simulator and classic arcade games.

1680 Lake Johanna Boulevard, Arden Hills, MN WHOLE-HOME REMODEL

Situated on a highly sought-after lot on the sandy shores of Lake Johanna, this 5,000-square-foot home has been reimagined to suit the owners’ tastes while taking advantage of the breathtaking views.

DIRECTIONS: I-35W; Take exit 24A toward County Highway 19/County Road D W.; Right

•

Unlike the ubiquitous bright-white homes of today, this residence was designed with warm hues, tactile textures, rustic elements, and hand-forged components.

•

Detailed and richly stained knotty alder millwork perfectly contrasts with the medium-toned hickory wood floors throughout the main level.

•

The rustic reclaimed X-framed ceiling beams can’t be missed when entering the two-story foyer which also showcases a large multi-light iron chandelier.

•

•

Undoubtedly, the chef’s kitchen is the highlight of the home, featuring highend Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a hammered copper range hood, antique forged iron light fixtures, two-toned and detailed custom cabinetry, and an expansive island with leathered quartzite countertops.

The newly organized main-level floor plan allowed for a new support kitchen space with a secondary refrigerator, an orderly food pantry, an expansive walk-in closet, and a sizable shower in the primary bath.

•

Step inside and experience a home unlike any other. As soon as you enter the front door, it will feel as if you were transported to a cozy cabin on a lake up north.

From top to bottom, this ultra-sustainable remodel with a dramatic layout change, redesigned radiant heating system, and two-story addition is sure to leave a lasting impression. This home is brimming with layers upon layers of exquisite detail.

DIRECTIONS: MN-100; Exit toward Vernon Avenue/W. 50th Street; Left on

•

The home features three new fireplaces from Hearth & Home—two of which are electric, but not like any electric you’ve seen before! Holographic technology makes for a soothing green alternative.

•

Mitsubishi’s brand-new recessed minisplit technology is on display. All the efficiency and comfort of a ductless system, discretely tucked into the ceiling.

Grange Road; Right on W. 50th Street; Right on Oliver Avenue S.

•

OA Design+Build has never been afraid of adding color to designs, and this remodel is no exception. Vibrant colors on the addition’s new PVC board and batten from Azek, accented with Tamlyn’s extreme aluminum trims and true openjoint cladding, emphasize this emerging architectural language.

•

The kitchen and dining space is chock full of one-of-a-kind details. A new Samsung Bespoke refrigerator with interchangeable glass panels was the inspiration for the pops of color throughout the cabinetry.

•

The pantry looks sharp with a mix of eucalyptus and reclaimed pine finished with new hardware.

•

The inspiring tilework in the bathrooms was seen as a fresh canvas for textures, colors, and lines.

•

This home is the star of Building Resilience Season 2, and it is packed full of incredible details! The handrail to the lower level alone will impress!

Inside, the removal of a few major bearing walls and all new windows from Sierra Pacific allow light to flood the home.

WHOLE-HOME REMODEL

What started as the traditional Edina split-level has been transformed into a stunning five-bedroom home, with no hint of the split-level remaining. Working closely with the homeowners, Water Street Homes made selections that gave them the end results they dreamed of, yet didn’t price them out of the area they loved.

DIRECTIONS: Highway 100 to 50th Street/Vernon Avenue; West on Vernon Avenue for 1.6 miles to Chantrey Road;

•

North to home

The homeowners loved their neighborhood and wanted to stay put, but the layout of their Edina home had a traditional split floor plan with very low ceilings—especially on the lower level— and was no longer meeting their needs.

•

Modern updates and practical features added the square footage they needed and a style that fit their tastes.

•

Through thoughtful design, Water Street was able to maintain the existing bedroom on the main level, while adding an entire upper level with four additional bedrooms and a bonus room.

•

The primary suite is its own private retreat for the homeowners, complete with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in closet.

•

The main level houses a music room, an office space, a beautiful kitchen that flows into a family room, and access to a deck to make the most of a warm Minnesota night.

•

Movie nights await on the lower level!

The floor of the original recreation room was dropped to create a theater with 9-foot ceilings.

This traditionally styled home in Edina received a modern refresh with a 4,839-square-foot renovation. From updated finishes to new surfaces, the home retains its original charm while being revitalized for generations to come.

Though the original home was wellbuilt, the team faced the challenge of modernizing the floor plan without increasing the square footage. This included knocking down walls to create more open spaces, as well as bringing in current design elements and features.

•

A reimagined kitchen includes two center islands, a 48-inch range and refrigerator, and ample counter space to house both a standard and prep sink. Behind, a scullery and pantry provide additional room for prep and cleanup while entertaining guests in the formal dining room.

•

The hearth room in a cozy enclave off the kitchen and breakfast nook houses a wall of glass doors to take in nature while curling up in front of a fireplace.

•

Dark brown millwork throughout was freshly painted to bring a bright and airy feel to the home, complementing new hardwood floors.

•

One-level living is realized with the primary suite on the main floor.

Encapsulated in a private wing of the home, a large bedroom with a seating area flows into a walk-in closet and bathroom featuring impressive marble tilework. A tub is surrounded by a double-sided fireplace on one side and a bookcase on the other, unlocking the ultimate state of relaxation.

•

A combined mudroom and laundry room provides the homeowners everything they need to keep dirty clothes and shoes out of sight, including a sink, washer and dryer, and bench with hooks.

ARTISAN HOME TOUR by Parade of Homes | ARTISANHOMETOUR.ORG

The Homeownership Discussion Housing First Minnesota has a proud legacy of showcasing housing opportunities and celebrating homeownership through our home tours. The homes in the Artisan Home Tour are a reminder of Minnesota’s proud legacy of innovation and craftsmanship.

Today’s housing market is certainly working well for some of us, but so many others face challenges in the search for a home of their own.

The community discussion around homeownership opportunities, both today and into the future, has never been more important.

Q &A

JUNE 10–26, 2022 | Fridays-Sundays; 12–6pm | ARTISANHOMETOUR.ORG

Home is all of it.

Q:

How can we grow homeownership opportunities for Minnesotans?

Experts across the board agree: Minnesota needs to build more homes to keep pace with our growing and diversifying population. We need a sustained surge in home construction over the next decade-plus.

All types of homes are needed, but this moment specifically calls for a focus on starter homes that are accessible to Minnesotans currently left out of the housing market.

Building starter homes releases the bottlenecks currently impacting the broader market and helps all Minnesotans.

What is limiting the construction of more starter homes?

Despite strong demand from Minnesotans, it has become increasingly difficult to build basic starter homes in our market.

This has happened in large part because our system of approving housing projects has become outdated. Our processes to advance projects and our approach to home size and design no longer align with the needs of many Minnesotans.

Modernizing the system to open opportunities for more starter homes lifts the biggest roadblock to more construction and would have an undeniably positive effect.

What are the experts recommending?

Build, build, build more homes.

The community value of a healthy housing market extends far beyond the home itself.

Experts cite immeasurable benefits from homeownership including better physical and mental health, enhanced educational outcomes, and stronger community investment.

Homeownership also remains the best vehicle to create long-term, generational wealth.

We need to modernize our state’s approach to housing—we need to build more homes.
