We're proud to unveil the Montreal Avenue Residence, our latest creation—a Scandinavian-inspired, all-electric home nestled along the Mississippi River in St. Paul's Highland Bridge development. This residence seamlessly blends Nordic minimalism with cutting-edge sustainability, offering a glimpse into the future of comfortable, eco-conscious living.
The homeowners envisioned more than just a home—they aspired to create a forever home that seamlessly integrates sustainability, functionality, and adaptability to support both their current lifestyle and future needs.
This Scandinavian-inspired residence seamlessly blends minimalist aesthetics with sustainable innovation. The open-concept living spaces are anchored by a striking mono-string staircase that serves as both a functional element and a sculptural centerpiece.
Rich walnut cabinetry and sleek, durable porcelain countertops add warmth and sophistication to the interiors. The upper level features a private rooftop deck and a spacious, multi-functional office and lounge area, thoughtfully tailored to the homeowners’ daily routines and remote work schedules.
The lower level serves as a wellness retreat, incorporating a sauna, fitness area, and a full wellness bar with reverse osmosis drinking water and a dedicated juice fridge.
Throughout the home, gorgeous elm hardwood flooring and a spacious three-season porch provide a nod to its Nordic roots, creating a serene environment that invites relaxation and connection to nature.
The Montreal Avenue Residence incorporates a range of eco-friendly innovations, including hemp insulation, geothermal heating and cooling, heated floors, and expansive triple-pane windows that together boost energy efficiency and comfort.
Smart energy management is a key feature, with two SPAN smart panels powered by 20 rooftop solar panels and Tesla Powerwall 3 for energy storage, giving homeowners the ability to monitor and control energy use via a smartphone app.
Designed with wellness in mind, the lower level serves as a retreat complete with a sauna, fitness area, and a wellness bar stocked with reverse osmosis drinking water and a dedicated juice fridge.
Looking ahead, future-proof accessibility is built in with an integrated elevator and thoughtful provisions for ramps and grab bars, ensuring the home can accommodate changing needs over time.
Come tour the Montreal Avenue Residence during the 2025 Artisan Home Tour and step inside a home where smart design and sustainability come together beautifully.
