KITCHEN FIT FOR A QUEEN:  When you are fortunate enough as we are to have the opportunity to remodel some of the more historic and meticulous homes in St. Paul, you have the good furtune to work within the context of what this architecture is all about: fine craftmanship and wonderful attention to detail.    

LIKE IT WAS ALWAYS THERE:  Recently named 2004 COTY Award Winner for Additions by NARI Minnesota Chapter, the new garage, kitchen, family room, and master suite addition unites perfectly with the existing house, matching details of the inside and proportioned just right to compliment the outside of the home.  "We love our [new and improved] home.  It just gets better and better each day!" say Chris and Beth H. of Saint Paul. Mn 

SEARS CRAFTSMAN NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD:  When we were commissioned to design and build a new kitchen in this Sears Craftsman home, we combined the logic, sociability and function of the new millenium with a perfect match of the arts and crafts style of the existing house.  This project was named 2004/5 COTY Award Winner in its Kitchens categories by NARI Minnesota, NARI 8-state Region, NARI National, the BATC ROMA^sm award, and the National Chrysalis award!  

HARD TO BELIEVE IT'S A BASEMENT:  Warm tones, graceful arches, unique materials and unsacrificed design describe this one-of-a-kind basement remodel.  Perfect for four or forty, it works for a quiet night at home just as well as it does on those big occassions.

OUR NOT SO BIG HOUSE:  A real-life example we created from a 1955 split-entry rambler that prioritizes quality of space rather than quantity.  The kitchen was named the National Kitchen Remodel of the Year by NARI and the house was named TOTAL HOUSE REMODEL OF THE YEAR for Minnesota by Minnesota NARI.

SALVAGED FROM THE ASHES:  This home went from incredible fire damage to fully restored and updated in just over a year...
