Making an Impression: Entries with Style

 

Your home’s entry is more than a necessity; it's the gateway to your style. What welcomes you home? As the adage goes, “You only get one chance to make a first impression” - what does your entryway convey?

The moment they pull into the driveway or walk through the door, your guests get a snapshot of your family’s life. What they see is your choice. Whether your aesthetic is cozy and inviting, modern and minimal, playful and inspiring, classic and elegant, tasteful and traditional, we’ll create a home that reflects you.

Fall Favorites: Client Cozy Spaces

 

What is your favorite thing about fall? As the season changes and we spend more time indoors, do you have favorite cozy spaces and family traditions? Isn’t it funny how you can make elaborate plans, but our most cherished memories are often simple?

From weekly movie nights to MarioKart tournaments, reading books together to sipping cider by the fire, watching football games to baking holiday treats, we design spaces around your family’s lifestyle.

There are no hard and fast rules for creating your ideal home. Coziness might mean something different to each of our clients, but the joy of our work is helping them discover their own definition. Scroll through the gallery below to explore a variety of cozy client home spaces!

 

New Construction: Rolling Green Modern

 

If you’re drawn to traditional twists on trends, you’ll love this gorgeous new construction home in Edina. The moment you pull onto the property or walk through the door, this home greets you with incredible architecture, warm natural light, a three-story staircase, and an inviting great room.

Inside and out, this home is a host’s dream! The main floor is anchored by the open living room with soaring two-story windows and French patio doors. A minimalist-inspired kitchen comes next and flows into a semi-formal dining room. The kitchen is finished in white, black, wood, and gold and feels crisp and clean. There’s also a fantastic hidden prep pantry — a chef’s entertaining secret weapon!

One of our favorite features of this project is its use of indoor/outdoor space. Oversized windows, doors, and a cozy screened porch offer easy access to nature. Outside, the backyard is a tranquil oasis. It features a large patio with ample seating, an outdoor kitchen, a plunge pool, and a sauna.
