Attic renovations can sometimes come with non-negotiable constraints, like the weird little wing walls where the roof slopes down to the floor. To make this space work, we ended up laying a furnace on its side and reorienting the whole HVAC system to fit. Sometimes good design is just good problem-solving in disguise.

Restoration is soon to begin for these historic stained-glass windows at Shevlin Hall on the University of Minnesota campus.

As you can see, there is a bit of waviness in the antique glass, which is a hallmark of its age. Built in 1906 in the Renaissance Revival style, Shevlin Hall was the first building on campus designed specifically for women of the University.

The glass will be carefully removed and transported to the restoration specialist. We’re excited to share more about this fun part of history!

Can you believe that this attic used to be servants’ quarters? What was a chopped-up maze of little spaces was turned into a home office that could also function as a guest suite, with its own bathroom, closet, and bedroom for when family comes to visit.

We love a good first impression. The moment you arrive, your eye is drawn through the home and straight out to the trees beyond, immediately connecting you to the site.

This transparency was intentional. The glass entry becomes a kind of threshold and a moment to pause.
