WELCOME The 2025 Artisan home tours were a striking journey through design at its most expressive. Inside this year’s commemorative edition, you’ll discover remarkable homes across the region—from serene lakeshore retreats to refined urban escapes—each shaped by meticulous craft, thoughtful detailing, and a reverence for materials and place.

Here, luxury is layered. Considered. Enduring. These homes don’t compete for attention—they invite you in.

What unfolds from such brilliance is a narrative of form, light, and texture: spaces that encourage pause, perspective, and the pleasure of observing the details up close. Two seasons of touring brought twice the artistry and fresh insight into how we build, how we live, and what it means to design with intention.

So, linger a little longer. Let the rooms unfold at their own pace. Let inspiration find you.

Welcome to the 2025 Artisan Home Tour Look Book.

When it comes to crafting custom luxury houses, Pella provides stunning windows and doors that illuminate the beauty within

Crafting an artisan home begins long before the first wall goes up. It starts with a vision—a desire to create something deeply personal, purposefully detailed, and intricately crafted. An artisan home is defined not only by its architecture or materials but also by the feelings it evokes: warmth, intention, and the sense of individuality that comes from custom elements thoughtfully tailored to the homeowners.

Windows and doors play an essential role in that process. They serve as sculptural elements that shape light, frame views, and create the ambience of each room.

In one of the homes featured on the Fall 2025 Artisan Home Tour, Pella Windows & Doors elevated these functions into a form of living art. Its cutting-edge solutions, exceptional designs, and tailored product options allow each window and door to stand as a design statement—one that enhances both the beauty and functionality of a home.

From the precision of a perfectly aligned sight line to the warmth of natural materials chosen to complement the home’s palette, Pella’s commitment to craftsmanship

The Making of an Artisan Home

mirrors the mission behind every artisan build. The result is a home where windows do more than let light in—they create a completely unique atmosphere. They invite connection. They illuminate the custom details that make a home feel one of a kind.

In the making of an artisan home, craftsmanship is what transforms a space into a personal sanctuary. And with Pella as part of that process, the artistry behind every design decision becomes something truly unforgettable.

SEAMLESS CONNECTIONS

P H OTOS SPACE CR AF TI NG

In this Medina artisan home by Gordon James, Charlie & Co. Design, and Studio M Interiors, all those ideas about craft and custom character show up in the details you might not notice at first—but that you’re sure to feel right away.

Before anything was drawn up, John Quinlivan, Gordon James’ founder, was out on the lot with the homeowners, staring at the incredible lake view and asking how they really wanted to live there. He says, “We were trying to figure out how to build a house that literally blends in and kind of sucks the lake right into the house.” Windows and doors

became the way to do it—framing the water, pulling in light, and making every room feel connected to the outdoors.

Architecturally, that idea came to life right away. As Anthon Ellis, director of development and designer at Charlie & Co. Design, explains, the very first challenge was how to give every important space a front-row seat to the lake. “We arranged all the day-to-day living and public spaces pretty linearly to take advantage of those lake views,” he says. “Every space has the view.” With such an open-concept layout, the windows weren’t just functional or decorative—they were the backbone of the entire plan.

P H OTOS SPACE CR AF TI NG

Pella was the obvious partner. Quinlivan has been using Pella for two decades. In fact, “Pella was our first house,” he says—and what keeps him coming back is how they solve problems, not just sell windows. For example, in the scullery, the owners wanted a serving window out to the screen porch, but Minnesota winters aren’t exactly fit for such an amenity. The solution was an automated Pella awning window paired with a heated countertop below. “When the awning window comes down, that gasket is nice and heated and dry on top to save against the Minnesota winters,” Quinlivan explains. “When it’s 10-below outside, [the air] hits that heat and doesn’t transfer on the inside.” It’s a small detail, but it makes a big impact on how the homeowners live.

12/8/25 11:36 AM

Ellis echoes that appreciation for Pella’s design-forward contributions. “The clients wanted to incorporate a couple unique Pella products,” he says. “The pass-through awning window from the back kitchen into the screen porch was one of them. Having that wide, 5-foot opening is great for communication, whether it’s a nice day or a cold winter day with the vinyl curtains down.”

P H OTOS SPACE CR AF TI NG

Downstairs, the indoor-outdoor connection is even stronger.

A 24-foot-wide automated Pella door—with 12 feet of glass sliding into the wall on each side—opens the lower level completely to the pool and lake. “You push a button and it disappears into the wall,” Quinlivan says. And when the bugs come out on a summer night, a hidden Phantom screen drops down so “it still felt like one party … you could hear everything and smell the outside, but at the same time, we kept the bugs out.” For both Quinlivan and Ellis, every

space and design element in a home is driven by how people truly live. With Pella, those custom details don’t just finish the structure—they help create that impossible-to-describe feeling when you walk in, take a breath, and think, this feels like home.

Every home tour season, one new build and one remodel earns the title of Artisan Home of the Tour, selected by the prospective clients and design-minded visitors whose eyes are trained on excellence.

Although the reasons each home rises to the top in the minds of these individuals vary, the themes are remarkably consistent: layered luxury, masterful craftsmanship, and the kind of beauty you don’t just see—you sense. These four winning homes capture that spirit, offering memorable moments around every curve and hand-hewn corner.

WHERE INSPIRATION MEETS PURPOSE When you tour the extraordinary homes on the Artisan Home Tour, you’re helping fund current and future housing projects for Minnesotans in need. Beyond gaining design inspiration and meeting the state’s finest builders, your ticket directly supports life-changing initiatives that bring stability, dignity, and hope to others.

HOUSING FIRST MINNESOTA FOUNDATION IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION — THE CHARITABLE ARM OF HOUSING FIRST MINNESOTA.

Each year, a portion of Artisan Home Tour ticket sales goes directly to the Housing First Minnesota Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Housing First Minnesota. This Foundation transforms industry generosity into community impact, leveraging the time, talents, and resources of association members to build dignified housing for those in need.

Growth and Impact in 2025

A Look Toward 2026

This year, the Housing First Minnesota Foundation continued to expand its reach and impact. In 2025, the Foundation completed four Community Build Projects, delivered $7.8 million in construction value to nonprofit partners, produced 29,000 square feet of dignified housing, and created 56 new beds—a testament to its growing commitment to building safe, stable housing statewide.

As the Foundation looks toward 2026, it is charting a bold path forward—creating more places of safety, healing, and opportunity. Through new partnerships and projects, the organization is expanding its reach and deepening its impact across Minnesota communities.

2025 PROJECTS • Veteran Village, Eagan Build Partner: Lennar • Elevate Hope House, Ham Lake Build Partner: Lennar & Spring Lake Park High School Construction Trades Program • Housing for Heroes #15, St. Paul Build Partner: Lennar • Bravo Zulu House, Winnebago Build Partner: APX Construction Group These projects reflect more than just construction metrics—they represent new beginnings for individuals and families that now have a place to call home.

HOPE HOUSE (pictured above) The Housing First Minnesota Foundation, in partnership with John Kraemer & Sons, Inc. and Hope House/Open Hands Foundation, has officially broken ground on a new two-story youth crisis shelter southwest of the Twin Cities metro. This trauma-informed home will provide teens experiencing homelessness with a safe, supportive place to heal and grow.

Featuring welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces, it’s designed to inspire reflection, recovery, and community.

AVIVO VILLAGE – ST. CLOUD The Foundation is expanding into St. Cloud with Avivo Village – St. Cloud, a 48-bed uniquely designed homeless

shelter containing individual living “pods,” plus shared bathrooms and communal spaces. Serving about 120 people annually, Avivo Village will expand safe, stable housing options for those experiencing homelessness in St. Cloud and surrounding areas. With BCI Construction and other Foundation partners, this project marks a major step toward support and stability in the St. Cloud community.

FUTURE PROJECT FOCUS AREAS As a responsive organization, the Foundation has its pulse on the needs of the communities it serves. Future projects may include focus on: • Single mothers & children • Survivors of human trafficking • Survivors of domestic violence • General family homelessness • Female veterans So, when you tour the inspirational homes of the Artisan Home Tour in future years, know that you are making a difference and proving a safe place for those experiencing homelessness in our state. Thank you for being a part of this important work!

Anchor Builders, LLC 4218 Scott Terrace Edina, MN

This home’s interior brings a different pop of color and emotion into every room. After working remotely with Anchor Builders through a new build process, the owners packed their bags and moved north from Texas to Edina. Having tried the remodeling route with their previous home, the owners were excited by the idea of building new and capturing everything they wanted without the constraints of an existing footprint.

Their vision landed on a blend of bold lines (inspired by midcenturymodern design), pops of bright colors, and an abundance of natural light. This home integrates comforts for every member of the family, including heated floors, an eat-in nook, a dedicated workout room, and an automatic faucet for the family’s furry friends.
