THE NINTH EDITION
This month, in the Ninth Edition, we’re leaning into the spaces that hold us as the weather cools with homes that are warm, functional, and designed for real life. Inside, you’ll find project updates, design highlights, and a sincere thank you from our team.
+ DESIGN
A Cozy Great Room
Our interior design team has been thoughtfully layering the details at the Buffalo Lake Residence, and the great room is beginning to take shape. This space balances cozy warmth with an inviting sense of openness — natural stone, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and furnishings selected for comfort and everyday living.
+ BUILD
Comfort You Can Feel
Comfort starts with the envelope. Triple-pane windows help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reduce outside noise, and eliminate the subtle drafts common with standard windows — making a noticeable difference in how your home feels every day of the year.
+ INTERIORS
Make A Splash
As homeowners rethink what luxury and functionality mean in their daily lives, one bathroom trend is making a splash — the wet room. Blending form, function, and modern minimalism, wet rooms have become a must-have feature in custom homes and high-end remodels throughout Minnesota and beyond.

+ REAL ESTATE
Deephaven Bound
The Deephaven Den features a bold Scandinavian design, 25-foot ceilings, and a sweeping wall of windows that blur the line between indoors and out. Located just steps from Lake Minnetonka, the Deephaven Den embraces modern living rooted in nature. An open main floor and versatile loft offer space to gather, work, and unwind — thoughtfully designed for everyday life. This property is available for sale, and there is still time to make customizations to the finishes.

Get home insurance that protects what you need
Standard home insurance doesn’t cover everything—floods, earthquakes, or coverage for valuable items like jewelry and art often require separate policies or endorsements. Switching over to a more customizable policy ensures you’re paying for what you really need. Use Money’s home insurance tool to find the right coverage for you.
Until next time,
High impact design. Low impact development.
