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!

Our Favorite Beautiful Bathrooms

The spaces we inhabit profoundly shape our lifestyles and moods. A beautiful room can put a person's mind at ease, create a sense of calm, or soothe a weary spirit.

Bathrooms are arguably the most heavily trafficked, practical rooms in any home. A necessity and a routine part of life, bathrooms are where the day begins and ends, where you put on your armor for the challenges ahead and unwind after the everyday hustle.

From minimal to playful to spa-inspired, we've designed every style of bathroom over the years. Scroll below to explore a few of our recent favorites!

Inspiring Home Offices

Balancing the personal and professional is a challenge for everyone. However, working from home adds an extra layer of difficulty: your office life and home life bump against each other constantly.

The key to working efficiently from home is a well-designed office space. With remote and hybrid work on the rise, many of our clients are adding offices to their homes. It’s a trend that’s built to last and has a rich history in homes, from the formal study to the classic library.

Whether you’re setting aside a separate room or planning a multipurpose, family-friendly area, you need a workspace that’s orderly, comfortable, and peaceful. Explore the gallery below to see our clients’ inspiring home offices!

Changing Homes: Evolution of the Family

The only constant in life is change. As families grow and evolve, so do our homes. Many of our clients design custom homes and then remodel or even build again further down the road.

Collaborating with repeat clients is one of the highlights of our work. We love helping people create a home that reflects their current life stage. Whether you’ve outgrown your space, your hobbies have changed, or your kids are getting older, below are a few common reasons our clients update their homes.

Home Office
One significant advantage of working from home is its flexibility. However, without a dedicated office space, working at home can devolve into chaos and stress. Many of our clients are creating his and hers home offices, formal studies/libraries, or project spaces that accommodate everything from work to crafts to homework time.

Bathroom Updates
Bathrooms are some of the most heavily trafficked rooms in any home. It’s only natural that our bathrooms would need to adapt to our changing families. From powder rooms to kids’ baths to owner’s suites, we can help you get organized, make style updates, or create your spa-inspired oasis.

Basement Finishing
Lower levels are the Swiss army knife of the home; they’re a tool for every occasion or need. Many basements start as unfished storage or kids’ playrooms and progress alongside the family. We’ve seen our clients renovate their lower levels into incredible media rooms, wine cellars, teen hangouts, workout rooms, sports courts, and bar-style lounges!

Guest Suite
Do you love hosting friends and family but feel cramped each holiday season? We can design the guest suite of your dreams for putting up the in-laws or hosting epic grandkid sleepovers. Lower levels make an ideal guest area with features like a separate bathroom and private space to unwind.

Building Again
If your family has fully outgrown your space, then building again might be your best option. Whether you want to stay in the area or scout out a new neighborhood, our team are experts at sourcing lots in the Twin Cities’ best communities. It’s always an honor and a joy to help families create their first, second, or even third home!
