Located in the sought-after Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, this transitional-modern new build features a unique layout and one-of-a-kind design. The hilly site posed a challenge and opportunity for our design and build team. From the initial planning phases, we worked closely with our clients to create a modern, playful home with open spaces, ample storage, and plenty of natural light. The exterior design was inspired by homes that feature a bold combination of contemporary black siding and traditional brickwork. A mix of flat roofs and gables works together to create uniformity and dimension to the human scale. Situated on a hill, the home boasts a tiered landscape design, helping it to blend into the surrounding landscape. Inside, each room boasts its own individual character while maintaining a cohesive palette of colors, textures, and finishes. Contemporary rift and quartersawn white oak flooring connects each space, while a mixture of modern and contemporary light fixtures and hardware contributes to the overall aesthetic. Throughout the home, the clients also had fun with vibrant colors and patterns, infusing the spaces with personality and charm. High-quality materials were used to ensure durability and a high level of design, resulting in a space that is functional and fitting to the owners’ personal lifestyle.
