The design of this lakehome bifurcates a sleeping wing from a social wing. The separation is celebrated via a glassy bridge that frames the lake upon arrival to the steeply sloped peninsular piece of land. The home's exterior black-stained cedar cladding and charcoal metal roof lead to an interior articulated by fir ceiling beams and gabled end walls. Windows line the gathering spaces, and a generous screen porch captures the panoramic vista.⁠

The owners of a historic 1889 Summit Hill rowhouse in St. Paul sought to resolve a cramped and awkward back entry while improving the entertainment spaces in their yard. The new streamlined, modern entry and mudroom elegantly weave together historic limestone blocks, modern steel, warm wood, and glass. The new addition sits discretely under a previous 1970s sunroom addition, and offers ample room for a bench seat, coat hanging, and shelves. A new steel bridge stretches to a renovated garage, which now includes a new rooftop entertainment deck.⁠

This bunkhouse addition seamlessly attaches to the first phase of a North Woods retreat via a raised walkway south of the main building. The bunkhouse includes two uninsulated, seasonal sleeping boxes. Moments of porosity are inherent to the design, reinforcing a closeness to nature. Physical interconnections between inside and outside were a driving consideration for the family - they desired accommodations that recall the sleeping porches of their childhood, 1940s-era family cabin. Designed by David O’Brien Wagner, AIA with Caitlin Dippo and Nate Ehrlich⁠.⁠

This one-bedroom cabin pairs an exterior of sleek black metal and vibrant blue accents with an interior clad in warm wood. The dynamic volumes of space invite natural light to stream in, while a commitment to energy efficiency reminds us that a small ecological footprint can be charming and comfortable. A spacious screened porch extends the living space into the surrounding woods, offering a panoramic setting for relaxing, gathering, and enjoying the outdoors. ⁠

This remodel project includes multiple pleasant connections between the home and the outdoors. The main entry was previously dark and recessed. Now, an enclosed vestibule offers a graceful and welcoming transition inside from Minnesota winters. The flexible patio conversion also has increased function. Adding enclosure to the existing uncovered area improves protection from weather, extends its use throughout seasons, and provides a secondary entrance. Inside, an office addition has plentiful daylight and views of the surrounding garden and landscape. Designed by Marc Sloot, AIA⁠, CGHP⁠
