CRAFT IN PROGRESS

What sets an Artisan home apart from even the most beautiful custom builds?

While many homes are built to impress, an Artisan Home is built to endure. To inspire. To showcase the highest standards in design and craftsmanship. But what does that really look like?

Step behind the scenes and you’ll discover that an Artisancaliber home doesn’t just begin with a good floor plan or finish with luxury materials—it’s defined by what happens at every layer in between.

THE SITE AND SETTING

Every Artisan home begins with its relationship to the land. Builders consider topography, light patterns, and sightlines long before the foundation is poured. Whether tucked along a wooded ravine, perched on a lakeside slope, or nestled into a quiet suburban street, the placement of the home is strategic — framing views, maximizing privacy, and shaping the living experience from the ground up.

THE STRUCTURE

BENEATH THE STYLE

The beauty of an Artisan home may be most apparent in its ﬁnishes, but the quality is baked into the bones. Enhanced insulation, intricate steel or wood beams, and precision-built custom details are all signs of care that go far beyond ordinary. This is cra smanship that prioritizes not just how the home looks, but how it lives.

DETAILS THAT DEFINE

Walk into a ﬁnished Artisan home and you’ll notice the difference immediately: grain-matched cabinetry, arched openings, coffered ceilings, and walls of glass that invite in natural light. But behind those visual elements lies hours of collaboration and handson artistry. Custom millwork, handselected materials, and meticulous installation timelines ensure every detail tells a consistent design story. In many homes, these elements are already visible mid-build — hinting at the stunning cohesion to come.

DESIGNED FOR A LIFETIME

Beyond beauty, these homes are built with an eye toward the future. Energy e ciency, smart systems integration, and timeless architectural styles all work together to ensure each home remains relevant and livable for decades. It’s not about following trends; it’s about designing a lifestyle that endures.

TIMELESS PIECES FOR A LIFETIME OF LIVING

START WITH THE STAPLES

Every well-loved home begins with a few essential pieces—those foundational furnishings that ground your space and set the tone for everything else. Whether it’s a generous sofa that invites long conversations or a dining table that hosts years of memories, these anchor pieces should be chosen with care. Look for cra smanship, classic forms, and enduring materials that will carry you through shi ing trends and evolving lifestyles. When selected intentionally, these furnishings can become part of your story.

CURATE WITH INTENTION

A timeless space isn’t created by ﬁlling a room, but by shaping it over time. Thoughtfully curating your furniture collection allows you to express your personal style without falling into a trend cycle. Mix clean lines with sculptural forms, blend warm woods with modern metals, and choose pieces that speak to who you are—not just what's in style now. The result is a home that feels layered, lived-in, and uniquely yours.

As the seasons shift and the urge to nest takes hold, the focus turns inward—to the spaces that ground us, comfort us, and reflect who we are. This fall, we explore the art of curating a furniture collection with intention: pieces that do more than fill a room but create a lasting sense of home. At Galleria Edina, design-minded retailers offer everything from timeless sofas and heirloom-quality dining tables to accent chairs that balance form and function. It’s not just about trends—it’s about building a foundation of comfort, quality, and personal style that will grow with you through every season of life.

REST IN TIMELESS COMFORT

A bedroom is more than a place to sleep—it’s where rest, renewal, and comfort begin. Choosing bedding with care transforms this space into a retreat you’ll return to night a er night. Timeless linens cra ed from natural materials and grounded in so , neutral tones, age beautifully while allowing room for seasonal layering. By focusing on enduring textures and subtle patterns, you create a bedroom that is designed to stand the test of time.

“

There are views for days… to have the light come in, gives the connection that feeds our souls and makes us feel whole.”

Linda Engler Founder, Engler Studio Interior Design

Make space for belonging

Every day should be enjoyed in special places people cherish — where design connects past and present into something fresh and inspiring. Drawing from a young family’s Scandinavian heritage and reimagining it into a perfect balance of modern and traditional, resulted in a home that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape, with sun-soaked spaces and a true sense of belonging in every room.

marvin.com

LET FORM FOLLOW FUNCTION

Beautiful design is only half the equation—true longevity comes from pieces that function as beautifully as they look. From modular sectionals that flex with your floorplan to extendable dining tables and hidden storage solutions, today’s best furniture works as hard as you do. Prioritize function without sacrificing form, and your home will support your everyday life while maintaining style and ease.

CHOOSE LASTING MATERIALS

The secret to long-lasting furniture often lies beneath the surface. Solid woods, performance fabrics, natural fibers, and aged leathers all contribute to pieces that age well with time. These materials offer not only durability but also a sense of authenticity. When choosing larger furnishings, prioritize texture, tone, and construction that will hold up to daily life while remaining effortlessly stylish for years to come.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

The most timeless homes aren’t necessarily the most styled, but the most lived in. A well curated home reflects the people who live there through layered textures, well-loved finishes, and meaningful furniture collected with care. Your home is a reflection of your life, rooted in its stories and evolution. Take your time, curate slowly, and choose pieces that make you feel something, not just fill a space.

Creating a forever home doesn’t mean finding perfection—it means building something meaningful, piece by piece. When you furnish with care, prioritize quality, and lead with your own sense of style, your space begins to tell a story that’s uniquely yours. With its thoughtfully curated mix of home design destinations, Galleria Edina offers endless inspiration for those looking to invest in timeless pieces that bring comfort, character, and longevity to the everyday.

TOUR WITH A PURPOSE

THE HOUSING FIRST MINNESOTA FOUNDATION AND ARTISAN HOME TOUR PARTNERSHIP

Each time you step inside a home on the Artisan Home Tour, you’re doing more than admiring stunning design — you’re helping make a difference. A portion of every ticket supports the work of the Housing First Minnesota Foundation, the charitable arm of Housing First Minnesota, building safe, dignified housing for veterans and Minnesotans experiencing homelessness.

For more than 30 years, the Foundation has partnered with nonprofit housing providers and local builders to construct and renovate transitional housing all across the state. These homes offer stability, safety, and the chance for a fresh start.

Thanks to your support, the Artisan Home Tour continues to raise critical funds to help move individuals and families from homelessness to hope.

In a bustling city neighborhood alongside a meandering river valley, architect David Strand envisioned a home that balanced abundant scenic views with intimate interior spaces. In his design, each room plays a different role in the everyday life of the homeowners. All while welcoming natural light and captivating views with thoughtfully placed windows and doors.

Tucked within Lake Elmo’s prestigious Royal Golf Club community, this sleek new residence is a masterclass in modern luxury and refined craftsmanship. With access to a private golf course and upscale clubhouse, it offers more than just a place to live — it’s a complete lifestyle.

• Striking the perfect balance between bold design and livable comfort, this new home offers timeless style in one of the Twin Cities’ most desirable golf communities.

• The exterior makes a bold first impression with White Country Squire stone that contrasts with moody dark siding. Flat roof accents and narrow window configurations give the home a sleek, architectural edge that stands out with subtle confidence.

• Inside, white oak flooring runs throughout, setting the tone for an elevated material palette that displays a rich mix of walnut, painted, and ri -cut white oak cabinetry. The vaulted great room highlights elegant ceiling beams and a dramatic floor-toceiling stone fireplace, creating a warm, open gathering space.

• The kitchen pairs luxury Cambria MacBeth and MonTaaj countertops with full slab backsplashes and a reverse box ceiling detail for added depth, while waterfall-style cabinetry and a tucked-away wine bar add thoughtful touches of style and function.

• A working pantry and large mudroom outﬁtted with built-ins and a walk-in closet help keep daily life organized, while the home o ce — clad in ri -cut white oak — is both quiet and polished. The primary wing includes its own laundry space for maximum convenience and privacy.

• Downstairs, three guest bedrooms, a second ﬁreplace, and a full bar ﬁnished in Cambria Remington Brass make entertaining easy. A music room and dedicated exercise room and sauna round out the lower level’s offerings.

• Outdoor living is seamlessly integrated with a vaulted screened porch featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, perfect for entertaining in any season, and an adjacent grill deck. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting a sunset dinner party, both spaces invite connection to the outdoors without sacrificing comfort.

What began as a worn Colonial with disjointed additions has been reimagined into a colorful, cohesive, character-filled home — designed to blend the old and the new through a combination of traditional details and vibrant finishes, forging a future of thoughtful living and entertaining.

• While the original home layout posed several challenges, the design team began by addressing long-term accessibility. Adding wide 36-inch doorways throughout the main level and shi ing the primary suite, laundry, and essential living areas onto one ﬂoor makes the home fully livable and meets aging-in-place needs without sacriﬁcing comfort or style.

• Designed for a couple who savors entertaining and hosting out-of-town guests, the layout ﬂows in a circular pattern — perfect for movement, memory-making, and lively gatherings.

• The scullery includes a second sink, dishwasher, double ovens, and extra freezer space, keeping the main kitchen clutterfree and allowing for easy cleanup during large get-togethers. A salvaged window connects the scullery to the three-season porch, adding charm and functionality and making serving drinks and snacks easy.

• Search for the secret doorway that leads to what is affectionately known

as “The Clubhouse.” The hidden passageway, formed from an original staircase, adds a touch of whimsy giving the grandkids a playful place to explore.

• A new addition off the back of the home forms the primary suite featuring both vertical and horizontal Cambria quartz surfaces, plus allowed for the creation of a den, powder room, and mudroom. The addition also boasts a new wider rear entry stairwell speciﬁcally designed for easily carrying bikes in and out of the lower level where maintenance and routine tune-ups take place.

• Traditional trim profiles were preserved to honor the home’s original character. These touches of warmth and sophistication are paired with bold finishes that reflect the owners’ love of color and texture, with blue, green, and yellow cabinetry, terrazzo floor tiles, purple accents, and a coral vanity. The result is a mix of old and new, with just enough polish to feel timeless, yet full of personality.

This two-story English Tudor features an elegantly refined exterior that reveals a contemporary, glamorous interior, thoughtfully updated for open-concept modern living and awash in a rich blend of luxurious finishes.

• With a restrictive existing structure, the homeowners wanted to create an extremely open living space. To remedy the problems and open up the floor plan, several walls were removed, and 20-foot exposed steel beams added instead.

• Walls were painted, ceilings smoothed, and new Marvin windows and white oak flooring installed throughout. The revamped foyer now highlights a reclaimed beamed ceiling with views of the new metal and wood staircase, while the great room centers around a two-story Art Deco-inspired fireplace — a stylish showstopper made of reeded wood and marble with a subtle gold accent.

• The team removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an effortless flow, adding exposed dropped steel beams that were painted black for a striking effect. The 12-foot kitchen island looks out onto the stone pool deck through a wall of glass doors, while a full slab backsplash and range hood make a stunning statement.

• Polished metallic accents and saturated jewel tones add flair to the home’s blackand-white color palette, along with a rich blend of décor and furnishings that range from bold artwork and crystal chandeliers to glitter-framed mirrors and velvet upholstered seating. Geometric patterns, quatrefoil motifs, damask designs, and animal prints add additional touches of both elegance and playfulness to the spaces.

• Enameled cabinetry and vanities, quartz countertops, and tiled floors and showers can be found in the kitchen, mudroom, new laundry closet, and bathrooms. The primary bath’s floors showcase a particularly stylish black-and-white marble diamond pattern, with a punch of emerald green for added panache.

• The exterior received a facelift as well, with new cedar shakes and James Hardie stucco panels that integrate beautifully with its existing siding and stonework.

This stunning renovation reimagined a 1980s French country estate as a sophisticated modern lake home that seamlessly blends contemporary design and convenience with timeless lakeside charm.

• The home’s dramatic exterior transformation began with converting the dated pink brick façade to crisp white stained brick, modernizing the home’s presence while preserving its substantial character. Sleek black steel windows replaced traditional mullioned panes, creating bold architectural lines and ﬂooding the interior with natural light.

• Inside, awkward ceiling transitions that previously disrupted visual ﬂow throughout were cleaned up and replaced with smooth, intentional ceiling planes that enhance spatial continuity and modern appeal.

• The original entry and dining room reflected an era of formal entertaining that felt disconnected from today’s lifestyle, so the floor plan was completely reconfigured. Removing a substantial masonry wall that compartmentalized the home opened it up dramatically, creating connected spaces essential for contemporary living and entertaining.

• The team created an open, welcoming entry that flows naturally into the main living areas, transforming the rigid dining room into a flexible bar space that encourages casual gatherings and conversation. The renovated fireplace anchors the living area, bringing warmth and a classic lake home atmosphere to the modern interior, while the updated staircase serves as a striking architectural element.

• The newly reimagined kitchen now ﬂows effortlessly into the living spaces, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom provides the functionality necessary for a busy family. Strategic layout changes created two main-level bedrooms, offering convenience and accessibility while maintaining the home’s gracious ﬂow.

• This transformation exempliﬁes how thoughtful design can honor a home’s bones while completely revolutionizing its spirit — creating a residence that’s boldly contemporary, warmly welcoming, and perfectly suited for modern lake living.

REMODELER BIO ON PAGE 61

This detached villa has been thoughtfully reimagined into a refined retreat for empty nesters—blending timeless design, comfort, and function. Staying in their quiet Plymouth neighborhood, the homeowners downsized without compromise, gaining 3,700 square feet of practical sophistication and architectural elegance.

• The original home, full of potential, came with structural and spatial limitations. The homeowners wanted a private, lowmaintenance space with modern features and proximity to community conveniences. In response, the design team enhanced ﬂow, natural light, and e ciency—making smart upgrades while honoring the home’s original bones.

• Key architectural interventions included installing a steel beam to open the kitchen to the vaulted great room, visually and functionally connecting the heart of the home. New windows and upgraded insulation improved performance, while reusing elements—like re-hung doors and original railings—balanced the budget and preserved character.

• Design-wise, the aesthetic embraces approachable luxury. A dramatic vaulted ceiling in the great room is overlooked

by a lo clad in warm wood paneling, while wide-plank flooring, refined trim, and all-new cabinetry establish a palette of understated elegance. A refaced fireplace adds a grounded focal point with texture and charm.

• The kitchen is a must-see, with custom cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and new countertops that make cooking and gathering effortless. Every inch was refreshed with intention—from lighting and plumbing to a state-of-the-art sound and security system.

• With new plumbing, upgraded electrical, a comprehensive paint refresh, and thoughtfully selected materials, this remodel is a masterclass in elevating a home without overdoing it. Even with a full transformation, the project was completed within budget – proof that smart design can meet real-life budgets.

Tucked beneath a canopy of beautiful maples, this Medina rambler has been reimagined into a serene retreat that embraces slower living and thoughtful design. The result is a new home that feels tailored, tranquil, and deeply lived-in. A modern classic rooted in craftsmanship and care.

• Prior to its remodel, this home felt dated and lacked a cohesive aesthetic. Guided by the homeowners’ vision of modern elegance and everyday ease, the home was transformed into a reﬁned sanctuary designed for modern living. A study in subtle elegance, every surface and selection inside was made with care: Custom walnut millwork, curated materials, and layers of warm, tactile ﬁnishes lend a grounded richness to every room.

• A five-foot-wide flat-panel walnut pivot door makes an understated yet memorable first impression, while interior architectural elements that once dated the space— such as heavy ceiling beams and asymmetrical fireplace surrounds — were removed in favor of a cleaner, more balanced aesthetic.

• Expansive windows frame serene views of the wooded property, inviting in natural light and highlighting the quiet beauty of the wildlife just beyond the glass. Natureinspired wallpaper selections echo the outdoor surrounds and add a touch of artistry and depth inside.

• In the kitchen, modern cabinetry, streamlined storage, and an expansive island support both daily meals and gatherings with friends. Cra ed from walnut and topped with soapstone, the island doubles as a centerpiece that blends daily function with quiet drama.

• Redesigned for rest and relaxation, the primary suite now includes dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath, layered with natural stone and artisanal ﬁnishes. Ambient lighting, volcanic rock ﬂooring, and so ly glazed ceramic tile combine to create a calm, serene experience.

• Original hardwood floors were lovingly restored to showcase their natural beauty, while a reimagined fireplace with stained brick surrounds anchors the living room with natural texture and striking height. Downstairs, a complete renovation brightened the lower level, transforming it into a warm and welcoming extension of the main floor.
