Star Tribune Feature: Pamela Park Neighborhood, Edina, MN

Pamela Park Edina MN

Recently, the Star Tribune published an article about the Pamela Park neighborhood of Edina, Minnesota, and the work REFINED has done there. We'd like to thank the Star Tribune and Rachel Hutton for featuring us in this article. Here are some of the highlights Hutton covers in her article (but be sure to read the article to get the full scoop)!

Residing in a central location, Pamela Park provides residents with quick and easy access to freeways, shopping, and restaurants. The new homes REFINED have built has helped to bring growth and revitalization to the neighborhood while offering a "livable, practical approach to luxury." Likewise, the city of Edina has seen a boost in its tax base and both long-time and new residents are seeing a spike in the overall value of their property.

Our team has a unique perspective about the neighborhood because one of REFINED's partners, Andy, lives in the neighborhood. With an understanding that new home construction can be a nuisance to current residents, we strive to create a positive building experience. REFINED also brings flexibility to the process by offering clients the ability to rent existing homes while they are waiting for construction to start on their new home.

Building Process: All REFINED Homes Include

We feature a lot of beautifully finished client homes on this blog, but today we thought we'd go in a different direction and zoom in on our building process.

At REFINED, we create custom homes in Edina and the surrounding area. Together, our team has partnered with over 100 families to design their ideal homes.

When collaborating with clients, we work to keep our process simple, worry-free, and tailored around their wants and needs.

However, there are a handful of elements and services that all of our REFINED homes include. Read about these six features below!

Full Architecture Service
Each REFINED custom home includes complete architecture design services. Creating a custom home is all about the details, and our job is to fine-tune every structure and space to your lifestyle.

Full Interior Design Service
Besides planning the layout and finishes of your home, our process also entails full interior design services. An entire home should feel harmonious, which is why we think interior design is essential.

Complete Landscaping Package
Families don't only live inside their homes, especially in a state like Minnesota where the weather can be so perfect throughout the year. We offer a complete landscaping package so our clients can enjoy the great outdoors in style!

Construction Financing for the Entire Project
Financing a new home can be stressful and confusing for anyone. We want the building process to be memorable and fun for our clients, which is why we take this concern off their plates.

Highest-Quality Building Materials
At REFINED, we pride ourselves on using only the finest, high-quality building materials and finishes. Our homes need to stand the test of time, so we hold ourselves and our partners to rigorous standards.

Smarthome Technology/Security System
Lastly, each of our homes includes the latest in smart home technology and security systems. Incorporating technology into home design is far more than a trend, it's the future of our industry.

Reflecting on 2018 | Happy Holidays and Happy New Year

As we approach the new year, we can't help but reflect on 2018. It's been a busy year filled with many fun and meaningful highlights for our team! From The Parade of Homes to launching our Trees from REFINED program to building and remodeling beautiful client homes, 2018 was a year we won't soon forget.

Of course, we know no project we undertake would be possible without help. We're deeply appreciative of the many colleagues, partners, friends, and supporters who enable us to carry out our work. We'd also be nowhere without our dear clients. We're so grateful for each of you and wish you all a warm holiday season and a prosperous 2019.

Introducing Trees from REFINED

Spring Parade of Homes: Parkside Cottage

Client Project: Elegant Traditional Home

Fall Parade Home: Modern Farmhouse

Project Feature: Sunny Traditional

Real Home Feature: Fresh and Modern Family Home

It might be our favorite feeling: a freshly finished home just waiting for a family to move in and fill it with their memories. Our team recently completed this beautiful 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom Edina home. Modern, clean, and classic, each space in this lovely house is airy and bathed in natural light.

If we could choose one word to describe this home, it would be sophisticated. Each room is carefully calibrated, creating an elegant balance between current trends and timeless taste. Even the color palette throughout is neutral and minimal, made up of crisp white, cream, grey, black, and light wood tones.

We can't wait to see what this home looks like once this family furnishes it with their prized possessions! Until then, scroll below to see more photos of our favorite design elements, cozy corners, and sun-soaked spaces.
