LUXE OUTDOOR LIVING

outdoor living space worthy of an Artisan home.

by TAYLOR HUGO

Artisan homes are known for luxurious amenities, stateof-the-art technology, and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship, but when it comes to building in the high-end, custom market, the outdoor living spaces should be given as much attention as the interior.

“While selecting the finishes and elements inside your home to accentuate its true beauty and your unique style, let that personalization flow into your outdoor living space,” says Jeff Johnson, owner of Phantom Screens. “You want to choose elements that can meet your needs today but also be used long into the future as you grow into the space.”

Here, Johnson and other local building professionals offer five tips for creating an outdoor living space worthy of an Artisan home.

1 Create a seamless indoor-to-outdoor transition.

There’s a resort-like aesthetic in homes that encourage easy access to outdoor living spaces. Luckily, you don’t have to hop on a plane to tap into year-round vacation vibes. “Homeowners are increasingly seeking strong indoor-outdoor connections, which has led to a significant rise in spaces that promote a seamless flow between interior and exterior,” says Christine Marvin, chief marketing and experience officer at Marvin.

MARVIN

Windows and doors facilitate that connection, so it’s crucial to choose designs that allow for clear sightlines of and accessibility to nature. Marvin’s new Elevate Bi-Fold door, for example, utilizes a glide-and-stack opening mechanism to create a large opening to your backyard. All you need now is a Mai Tai.

2 Maximize the use of your outdoor spaces.

Living in Minnesota, mosquitoes and cold weather are unavoidable, but they shouldn’t inhibit your ability to enjoy your outdoor living spaces — and neither should a screen that blocks a million-dollar view. Enter Phantom Screens: motorized, retractable screens that can be controlled with the push of a button. “When planning your outdoor living space, flexibility and usability should be at the forefront of your decision-making process,” says Johnson. “Phantom Screens offer the opportunity to have a multi-use space for all seasons and weather conditions while staying true to the stunning architecture. The ability to hide system components in the framework of your home gives you the flexibility to have a wide-open porch space during the day, a fully screened and bug-free area at night, and protection from the rain and snow year-round.”

3 Design with curb appeal in mind.

Most people who pass by your home won’t have the opportunity to see inside, so you want to make a strong first impression with the exterior. “The first thing that a homeowner or guest sees is the exterior. That sets the expectations of what is inside the home,” says Stu Hudson, president and owner of Anchor Roofing & Exteriors. “The fine details, quality of the materials, and workmanship make the home shine on the outside, and will reflect how the home looks on the inside.”

PHANTOM SCREENS

Implement different materials — like a combination of siding and stone — to make your home stand out from others, but be mindful of how many colors you’re incorporating. “Try to stick with no more than three,” cautions Hudson, noting that white, black, gray, and deep blue are trending in exterior design, while browns and earth tones are on their way out.

4 Add “wow” factors.

Nothing screams luxury like those unique, unexpected features that infuse your outdoor living spaces with personality and make your guests say “wow.” Perhaps it’s a pool with a waterfall and custom LED

lighting for night swims, or a gas fire table ideal for summertime s’mores roasting. Homeowners who love to cook and entertain often opt for an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven covered by a pavilion.

“Pavilions have been a popular feature for luxury homes,” says Pat Henry, owner of Prestige Pools. “A lot of homeowners will use them deep into the fall. If it’s drizzling out or even snowing, you can still be outside under that structure with a sweatshirt on and enjoy it.”

5

Think about the big picture.

When it comes to designing an outdoor living environment worthy of an Artisan

home, you should think about how all the elements will tie together to create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

When installing a pool, for example, you also must plan for the high-end decking or patio surface material that will make the area pop — Henry suggests pavers or stones, as opposed to concrete — and the surrounding landscape features that separate an ordinary pool from a luxury one.

“If it looks pretty but there is no utility to it, you’re not going to be happy. Or, conversely, if there’s tons of utility but it goes flat and you hate looking out the back of your house every day, that doesn’t help either,” says Henry. “It needs to be a blended marriage. Ask yourself: Does it work well for us? Does it have a ‘wow’ factor?”

A PERSONAL RETREAT

Meld style and function with a luxurious bathroom vanity fit for an Artisan home.

Abathroom vanity is more than just a functional fixture – it’s a statement piece that can elevate the entire ambiance of your bathroom. When it comes to luxury living, choosing the right vanity is essential for creating a sophisticated and lavish space. Here are some key things to keep in mind when selecting a luxury vanity for your bathroom.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS

A well-designed vanity not only exudes beauty but also provides ample storage space. Consider your storage needs and choose a vanity that accommodates all your bathroom essentials. Drawers, shelves, and cabinets should be wellorganized and spacious enough to keep your bathroom clutter-free.

CABINETRY

Bold, colorful, textured, or sleek—the world is your oyster when it comes to picking out your vanity cabinetry. High-end vanities are built to stand the test of time, so it’s crucial to focus on the quality of materials used. Solid wood is often a popular choice for its durability and timeless elegance. Consider the craftsmanship, finishes, and overall

CAMBRIA | STEPHEN KARLISCH

construction to ensure your chosen vanity will maintain its allure for years to come.

COUNTERTOPS

The vanity countertop plays an important role in aesthetics and functionality. Cambria’s quartz surfaces ensure that the centerpiece of your vanity is easy to clean and durable, plus it will keep your space hygienic as no moisture or bacteria will seep through the nonabsorbent quartz surface.

BASIN

Whether you appreciate simple minimalism or want a basin that stands out, find the right pick for your overall design. Unique freestanding sinks are eye-catching and feel custom, while basic designs allow the hardware to shine.

LIGHTING AND MIRROR INTEGRATION

To enhance the feel of your vanity area, thoughtful integration of lighting and mirrors is essential. Opt for elegant light fixtures that complement the vanity’s style and provide adequate illumination, or select LED lighting behind your mirror or underneath the cabinetry to add dimension. A well-placed, high-quality mirror can elevate the vanity’s overall appeal and make the bathroom feel more spacious.

EVERY TICKET COUNTS

Partial proceeds from the Artisan Home Tour help support the Housing First Minnesota Foundation. Several projects are underway right now to help individuals experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives through housing.

THE HOUSING FIRST MINNESOTA FOUNDATION AND ARTISAN HOME TOUR PARTNERSHIP

This new MACV home will serve as safe transitional housing for homeless veterans.

ENDING HOMELESSNESS IN MINNESOTA

The Housing First Minnesota Foundation is the charitable arm of Housing First Minnesota. Our vision is to end homelessness in Minnesota; our mission is to partner to build safe housing for Minnesotans in need. Everyone deserves a safe space to call home.

In every project we take on, we do so with wonderful partners by our side. The first is a service provider, who serves our clients directly through support and wraparound services. The second is a build partner – this is the builder or remodeler who provides access to and donates materials and labor at a significantly reduced cost. These partnerships allow our Foundation to do so much more than if we were taking on these projects alone.

This year, we have two major build projects, both providing transitional housing to those in need. Our first project is a partnership with

service provider Avivo and builder Nor-Son Custom Builders, Inc. This Family Recovery Housing project provides housing to mothers who are undergoing addiction recovery treatment. By the end of 2023, we will have completed renovations for the 100-year-old apartment building in Minneapolis. A er the renovation is complete, a mother and her children will move in and live there for approximately one year while she completes her treatment program. Once these final four units are complete, the entire 10-unit building will have been completely remodeled by the Foundation and our build partners!

Our second project is in partnership with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) and build partner Lennar. Our goal is that the words “homeless” and “veteran” are never seen together. In 2023, we will complete our 11th Housing for Heroes

home with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Each home provides transitional housing to veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This year alone, we will be able to house an additional 30 people in our new Housing for Heroes homes.

In total, the Foundation has completed 62 community build projects with many more to come and has built and restored over 99,000 square feet of housing. Through fundraisers like the Artisan Home Tour, we have been able to take on larger build projects and help more Minnesotans in need.

Homelessness impacts the present as well as the future – that’s why the Foundation exists, to make that future better for the people in the communities we serve. So, thank you for touring the Artisan Home Tour – your contribution is felt throughout the Twin Cities!

This 100-year-old apartment in Minneapolis is undergoing a complete renovation. Once complete, the space will be home for a mother and her children while she receives recovery services.

Liza & Paul Cameron

How do you bring a client’s vision to life?

We work through a highly collaborative design and selection process and spend an extensive amount of time educating our clients on the build timeline, identifying priorities, and supporting our clients as they make decisions on their home.

The result is a highly customized design focused on luxury and livability.

What inspires and influences your work?

Working closely with our clients and seeing their dream home become a reality is a paycheck for our soul. We embrace our client’s commitment to placing their own stamp on their home by pursuing unique design features and materials to create a highly customized forever home. With a special focus on layout and flow, we foster that feeling of style and comfort to forge luxury spaces for evolving and modern lifestyles.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?

Integrity, knowledge, experience, quality communications, and structured and streamlined processes using open book-based decisionmaking allows us to work as a true builder-client team that delivers a beautifully designed and architected home at a reasonable value for our clients to enjoy.

As a woman-owned business, we have a unique perspective on how a home really can enhance a family’s dayto-day living.

Our team is constantly thinking of new ways to solve old problems so that you wake up every day loving your new home!

What inspires and influences your work?

There is inspiration all around us. Everywhere I go and everything I do gives me ideas to bring to my clients. I take pride in helping to continue their life story. When I meet a client, I want to know their story and help them in their journey of bringing their dreams to life and continuing on with the next chapter of their story.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

We enjoy delivering the clients’ dreams as they uniquely unfold in their new homes. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing clients benefit from our work, giving them what they want, and making them happy.

Q &A

Todd Polifka

How did you get started in the building industry?

I’ve been in the industry for over 20 years. I got my start back when I was approached by a remodeling company to come and help with their operations. I worked with that company for a couple of years and fell in love with the industry. From that experience, I decided that I wanted to put a flag in the ground and create a career in the building industry. It’s been amazing since!

What inspires and influences your work?

Building a business that can be regarded as good as Disney or the Ritz Carlton when it comes to customer service. I’m inspired by multiple design styles. Custom One Homes is not locked into one specific style and that allows us to work with clients and various desires for their home. We do like cutting-edge style that can remain timeless in nature.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

Being able to see a beautiful home come to fruition. We start with a blank piece of paper and build a story around your family to create your home. It takes many people to create a truly custom-built home. We enjoy that process and that’s where the compassion to understand the client’s story and the passion of the Custom One Homes team come into play!

Q &A

Margaret & Scott Busyn

How did you get started in the building industry?

We started Great Neighborhood Homes in Edina after seeing an emerging need for consumers looking to build new homes in established neighborhoods. Using the latest trends and building materials, we provide our clients with the new home of their dreams in their favorite old neighborhood.

What sets your company apart?

We are a boutique builder, building only a few unique homes each year. Our turnkey design-build process, in-house design team, and convenient 50th and France Edina design studio provide a simple and fun way for our clients to build their new home. We help our clients find awesome building sites, listen carefully to their vision, and manage the entire process from lot purchase, design, teardown of an existing older home, making design selections, construction, and service.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

We really enjoy executing the unique vision and diverse ideas our clients bring to us. Clients have asked us to build kids’ secret play lofts, craft rooms, in-home breweries, golf simulators, athletic courts, wine rooms, built-in dog kennels, hide-away TVs, kitchen sculleries, all-season screen porches, and many other fun ideas. Our clients inspire us to deliver these ideas in unique ways to meet the needs of their families.

Q &A

Mike Hartman

How do you bring a client’s vision to life?

When navigating the long list of decisions that come with building a custom home, the key is to start with the exterior and then move inside to lighting. Lighting sets the tone of the home's aesthetic.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?

Communication, trusting relationships, systems, and organization are the keys to a successful team. Hartman Homes has sought out the best employees, subcontractors, and vendors in the industry and prides itself on the longstanding tenure of the team members. Throughout the years, Hartman Homes has refined its operating and build systems to increase quality, efficiency, and communication between the customers and our entire team.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

What is most rewarding is when our clients tell us that they chose Hartman Homes because they wanted a home that “stands out from the rest” or that “they would build again if they didn’t love their house so much.” Exceeding customer expectations is what Hartman Homes strives for with each build.

Q &A

(Kowalski) Sura & Adam Sura

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

We love seeing the excitement of the homeowners throughout the various stages of construction. In the end, nothing is more rewarding than turning the keys over to a satisfied client whose expectations we have exceeded. We spend a great deal of time with our clients, and in turn, strong relationships are formed. It may be the client’s home while they live there, but it will always be a JB Woodfitter home. We take great pride in the homes we construct.

How would you describe your team’s approach to a new project?

Starting their new custom home project is very exciting for homeowners, and we strive to ensure it’s a smooth process. Trust and open communication between homeowners and our team is the start of a strong foundation for each new project. Each homeowner has their own unique expectations for their custom build. At JB Woodfitter, we strive to exceed all expectations every step of the way. At the initial meeting, we explain who JB Woodfitter is as a builder, our history, the construction process, and introduce our dedicated team assigned to this specific project. Building a custom home is a very personal process, and, in some cases, can extend past two to three years depending on land acquisition, architectural drawings, home size, and, if selected, exotic material imports. Building trust and establishing open communication is how we lay the groundwork for each project.

How did you get started in the building industry?

I got started in the industry working for a prominent builder in the western suburbs in my early 20s. I enjoyed the building trade and was inspired to pursue it as my career. I still enjoy it today!

How would you describe your team’s approach to a new project?

At Jyland, we use a hands-on full-team approach from start to finish. The early selection of architect, designer, and landscape architect benefits the

homeowner’s building experience. Making all selections upfront allows for better execution of the project in a timely manner.

What sets your company apart?

My low volume, high quality, and creative design along with my detailed project management offer my homeowners a personal touch.

Quality architecture, big glass, tailored space planning, and high-level finishes inspire me.

We are committed to energy efficiency, using new products that add to the home's performance, and incorporating products that are environmentally friendly and ethically sourced.

Q &A

What sets your company apart?

We’re a small family-owned company celebrating 40 years in the building industry! Our experience and commitment to quality is supported by a team of over 30 full-time Lecy Bros. employees and a trusted cadre of subcontractors and suppliers who share our vision in building. This assures quality control, exceptional woodworking, and adherence to the schedule to complete each project on time. We strive to exceed our client’s expectations which have resulted in our high rate of new projects coming from referrals.

How do you bring a client’s vision to life?

We start by listening, gaining an understanding of the client’s lifestyle and their vision of the perfect home. We then do due diligence upfront to assure a smooth process and avoid unwanted surprises. Together the client and the design team develop plans that incorporate the client’s vision, the characteristics of the homesite, and the appropriate budget for the home – keeping their wants and needs at the forefront. Continuous communication throughout the process is essential. Our project team works closely with the clients throughout the entire process – from initial design to finishing details.

How did you get started in the building industry?

Mitch started his apprenticeship with his father at age 15 where he was taught many valuable skills and acquired a great deal of knowledge. He has continued to hone his residential remodeling and custom homebuilding skills. We have expanded into commercial renovations and excel in creating beautiful handcrafted interiors and exteriors.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?

Successful building hinges on detailoriented communication skills and a shared devotion to an agreed-upon outcome. We are lucky to employ our own seasoned carpenters and tradespeople that manage and produce quality work.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

Much like planting a seed, watching a homeowner’s dream come true from conceptual drawings to creating a home from the ground up is a satisfaction like no other — especially when that home is customized exactly to a homeowner’s specifications.

What are some of your favorite trends and styles in new construction?

We are loving the trend towards sustainable, timeless construction. We love knowing we are helping clients create a legacy home.

Q &A

KC Chermak

How did you get started in the building industry?

I have always had a passion for architecture. This led me to harness that passion for others to enjoy. I take pride in converting design and architectural ideas into reality to shape the landscape of the homes we build and enrich the lives of those I work with.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?

The building team needs to have a clear vision that matches the client, creativity that is integrated with building science, and most importantly open communication. We thrive on the desire to perfectly create our client’s passion.

What sets your company apart?

Size! As a small company, Rob and Mark are not only owners, but also project managers. This allows each build to get special management attention from an owner.

How would you describe your team’s approach to a new project?

I’d describe our approach as a collaborative process between homeowner, architect, and builder. Getting this team established early in the design process leads to a successful build.

How do you bring a client’s vision to life?

It all starts with great design. We have really good working relationships with several top architects.

What are the most important elements of a successful build team?

The most important element of a successful build is having the right people on the team. We've spent the last 15 years vetting the best suppliers, craftsmen, and mechanics that not only perform the highest quality work but are reliable and a good value.

What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?

Our favorite part of building a custom home is the creativity and collaboration of working with talented designers. No two projects are alike.

Q &A

Jason Fabio

What are the most important elements of a successful remodeling team?

The elements of a successful remodeling team are desire, attention to detail, experience, and teamwork. We take pride in attracting the best talent in our industry who are driven by their desire to be the best. Being the best comes from years of dedication and experience. Also, we have an amazing culture of teamwork and communication that fosters the best outcome for our clients. Communication and collaboration are the cornerstone of our design success. Finally, our attention to detail allows us to deliver an exceptional client experience.

How

did you get started in remodeling?

I went into remodeling because I wanted to make a difference in our industry. Traditionally, it had been an industry that had a terrible reputation for lack of ethics and integrity. We’ve all heard the stories of the contractor that gets your down payment and then is never seen again. At Ispiri, we are passionate about changing that perception. We work hard every day to bring an ethical and honest approach to the remodeling industry. We look forward to creating a professional experience for our clients that will hopefully raise the bar for our entire industry.

&A

What do you enjoy most about remodeling and building custom homes?

We enjoy being able to transform a family’s life and make spaces functional for our clients. Remodeling and building homes is not just about updating aesthetics or adding value to a property, it is about improving lives by creating a space that meets their needs and reflects their personality. When you remodel a home, you have the power to create a comfortable and functional environment that supports the family’s daily activities and enhances their overall well-being.

What sets your company apart?

47 years of passion for carpentry and customer service, our commitment to

quality and customer satisfaction, our expansion into new markets, and our on-staff carpentry crew set us apart.

Lake Country Builders is a successful remodeling and building company because we have a clear focus on providing our customers with the best possible experience.

What inspires and influences your work?

Our clients and their houses inspire us every day! Each home has its own character and history — just like the family who lives there. The first layer comes from the bones and era of the

home with the next layer being what the clients desire aesthetically. It’s a personalized journey that is very satisfying for our clients — and for us!

What do you enjoy most about remodeling homes?

There’s a high level of reward in remodeling homes that people treasure so much that they want to stay and improve the layout and aesthetics rather than move. It’s all about bringing new life and function back to a home for how a modern family lives while honoring the home’s original integrity. Seeing how clients — who often become longstanding friends — are so delighted after remodeling is amazing! It’s what keeps us in this remodeling profession since 1977.

• The home features Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and Pella windows, but the crowning jewel is the impressive 10’ island, creating a focal point that invites family and friends to gather.

• The use of color and detail elevates this home to another level. The vibrant yellow pantry cabinets radiate playfulness and embrace the homeowner’s desire for spirited moments through the design. The powder room boasts a marble sink sourced all the way from Istanbul, Turkey, captivating visitors with its depth of character.
