Creekside Exterior Transformed, Minnetonka, US

Creekside Brickhouse is completely transformed on the outside too. A very traditional and beige-toned exterior is modernized with a creamy paint color against black trim, emphasizing traditional red brick. One of the best features of this home is its proximity to nature. The porch and deck are all about immersion in nature and an ‘inside-outside’ experience. Encased in windows, the porch is designed for casual dining with jewel-toned seating. A wall of green contrasts against a moody palette and sheer window treatments let in light, while maintaining privacy. The nearby deck lends itself to easily moving from the house to the deck and back again. A fun bar rail detail allows family and friends to enjoy a drink while taking in the beautiful creek views and the calming sound of flowing water.

Boutique-Inspired Second Story Addition

Your home is meant to support you and the way you live. It’s a place that should help you recharge and prepare for the day ahead. This second floor addition and remodel does just that. Inspired by Vastu Shastra principles, this floor was completely reconfigured to bring alignment and harmony to these clients, while making the most of the much needed headroom and previously unused attic space. The outcome is an open-ish master bedroom with a cozy vintage vibe accentuated by exposed beams along the original roof line; a boutique-inspired closet room that makes dressing for the day a dream; and a function-packed landing featuring a workspace with a ton of natural light and laundry nearby. Bold and modern, this home is loaded with traditional charm and character, not to mention function!

Creekside Brickhouse Charmer, Minnetonka, US

Remodeling doesn’t mean erasing the history of a home. Instead, it’s about bringing the best features forward and amplifying. For this 1980s tudor-style, brick-front home, our goal was to add modern functionality while maintaining the integrity, footprint, and architectural language. We opened up the traditional floor plan for an open flow and more natural sightlines. A nearly monochromatic color scheme in the main living areas feels expansive, while also capturing the homeowner’s minimal modern vibe.

Carmel Comfort, Indianapolis, US

For this new construction project, our clients wished for a modern yet warm home but needed help in bringing it to life. What started as a project they would tackle themselves, transformed into a cozy and comfortable space that combines a modern vibe with bold color accents and texture to add the necessary balance.
