2023 Homes by Architects Tour

Homes by Architects Tour
September 23 & 24, 2023
From 10-5 pm each day

The Homes by Architects Tour (founded by AIA Minnesota) is a two-day event showcasing incredible architect-designed homes from around the state. By providing a range of project types, sizes, and budgets, the creators of this event hope to demonstrate the value of architectural-led design.

Our team is proud to have our Exquisite Eclectic Home featured on the tour this fall. This Edina home is vibrant and joyful; every detail is a feast for your senses. We love when clients make bold choices, and these homeowners took a lot of big swings! The moment you walk in the door, this gorgeous home greets you with personality and style.

Behind the Build: Cabinetry and Millwork Installation

Throughout 2023, we’ve been sharing a look behind the build on a home in Edina. So far, we’ve introduced Tim and Hannah, scouted out their homesite, assembled their design team, tagged along on their finish presentation, and now we’re watching as their cabinetry and millwork get installed!

Tim and Hannah are building their dream home and graciously allowed us to document their journey. At REFINED, we pride ourselves on offering a collaborative client process, meaning we’re with you every step of the way.

Our team is currently in the thick of construction on Tim and Hannah’s gorgeous home. Hannah recently stopped by to check our progress as we installed cabinetry and woodwork. We love it when clients are involved in their builds; it was fun to see Hannah’s excitement as her selections came to life!

Center of the Home: Inspiring Kitchen Design

At REFINED, the core of our work is designing around our clients’ lifestyles. Our expertise is creating homes that are equally beautiful and functional.

Kitchens, in particular, host a range of family life, meaning they need to be built efficiently! From homework to meal prep to hosting, we design deeply practical and gorgeous spaces people want to inhabit.

Remodeling: Eden Prairie Modern Kitchen

You can’t beat the classics, and this sophisticated Eden Prairie kitchen remodel is as lovely as can be. Before the renovation, the space was dated and had an awkward flow. Our team’s smart solution was repurposing the wasted transitional area into stylish open storage and a streamlined command center.

We couldn’t be happier with the result of this fun project. The updated kitchen feels lighter, bigger, and more serene. Every finish is carefully calibrated to stand the test of time, from the black and white color palette to the clean lines and smooth surfaces.
