Behind The Design

The homeowners of this custom modern home set out to achieve two dreams: building a custom modern home from the ground up and moving closer to the iconic Minneapolis lakes that held deep personal meaning for them. 

Perfectly situated within walking distance of local restaurants, cozy cafes, vibrant coffee shops, and scenic bike trails, this home blends modern design with the best of Minneapolis living.

Moody and Modern

The striking interior finishes immediately draw you in with a bold, moody aesthetic that exudes modern sophistication. At the heart of the home, the artisan kitchen greets you with sleek countertops and cabinetry, combining timeless elegance with lasting durability.

A custom breakfast nook and curated wine storage display add both function and style, while the adjoining workout room enhances the home’s modern, wellness-focused design.
