This new home built on a corner lot in South Minneapolis, is near Lake Nokomis. The project includes a 2-story gable roof main house plus a two-story ADU with a 3-car garage below. The main house is for a growing family with young kids and the ADU is a private space for the grandparents, away from the activities of the main house .

The design of the house focusses on fitting into an existing South Minneapolis neighborhood with very modest home sizes and traditional roof shapes. It was the client's wishes to have a really well designed home with exceptional flow for larger family gatherings as well as a crisp design that becomes timeless fitting within the neighborhood. The design should also stand out that it is a new home, obviously designed by an architect with attention to details and a design focus. The design ties in the two houses, main house and ADU, with one color scheme of dark grays and white. The dark colors are assigned to the forms of the house that accentuate the tall and slender proportion features such as the ADU and dormers facing the street. The white components blend in the rest and fades back. The house has a great front porch open on all three sides to invite neighbor interactions and viewing. It also offers an inviting entrance with the glass front doors and sidelights.
