Locale Design Build

In order to create the perfect home for our clients and their family we needed to tear off the old addition and roof, add a brand new three story addition, and add a third floor while remodeling the rest of the interior. The result was a charming home customized to the clients' needs and desires.

A beautiful 1930’s Tudor house in a quiet Minneapolis Neighborhood needed some updates. We worked with the clients to design and build an addition that housed a new kitchen, a more functional mudroom, a powder room, and a new studio office space below.

The new kitchen’s vintage checkerboard floor, soapstone countertops, and fun color palette all work together to create a unique space that matches the charm of the rest of the house. Handmade tile and heated floors in the spacious mudroom provide a great spot for winter boots and coats. The new lower level studio steps down to create a more spacious feel and high windows fill the space with light.

The result is a striking transformation to an already awesome home.

When Locale first saw this prospective creek-side lot, we knew we had an opportunity to design and build a new home with our client that would be a staple of the neighborhood for generations. The result is an "authentic, handcrafted, and permanent" house created for the daily lifestyle of the family. The residence features long, unobstructed views of Minnehaha creek from almost every room. The homeowners will continue to enjoy this timeless residence for generations to come!
