“ This home is surrounded by so much natural beauty and we wanted to bring that inside the home. The Marvin windows played a significant role in helping us achieve that.”
— Blake Swanson, Vice President, Swanson Homes

Make space for bold design

There’s nothing ordinary about this home, with its wholly original take on a family-focused oasis. Vaulted ceilings join with an expansive array of windows (often in distinctive and unexpected shapes) to create lightfilled wow moments across its open floor plan. At Marvin, we make space for individuality, so you can feel inspired by the places you call home.

Thank you to these builders for choosing Marvin for their Artisan Home Tour ® projects.

13 SMART HOME FEATURES IN HIGH-END HOMES

Over the years, smart home technology has become synonymous with modern luxury. So, it’s no surprise that high-end homes in Minnesota are embracing cutting-edge features that elevate comfort, convenience, and security. From automated lighting to advanced security systems, these amenities transform homes into hubs of innovation and efficiency.

HOME THEATER SYSTEMS

Dedicated home theater systems elevate entertainment in high-end homes. High-definition projectors, immersive surround sound, and luxurious seating provide a cinematic experience from the comfort of home — perfect for movie nights, watch parties, and more.

INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEMS

With security as a top priority, most high-end homes feature state-of-the-art integrated systems that include surveillance cameras, motion sensors, and smart locks. Homeowners can also monitor and control access to their property remotely for added convenience.

BIOMETRIC ENTRY SYSTEMS

Biometric entry systems increase security with fingerprint or facial recognition technology, allowing only authorized individuals to access the home. This advanced authentication method provides peace of mind and prevents unauthorized entry.

SMART THERMOSTATS

Smart thermostats make it easy to optimize energy usage in high-end homes. These systems learn residents’ preferences and adjust the thermostat settings accordingly. Homeowners can also control temperature settings with remote access via smartphones and tablets.

SMART LIGHTING

Smart lighting systems adapt to residents’ preferences, offering customizable brightness levels and color schemes to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion. Automated scheduling takes energy efficiency and security to the next level. Homeowners can time their lights according to their schedule and simulate occupancy when they are away for long periods.

WHOLE-HOUSE AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEMS

With whole-house audio/video systems, residents can enjoy music, movies, podcasts, and other entertainment options in more than one room at a time. Distributed audio ensures seamless integration and superior sound quality throughout the home. Most systems connect to voice control assistants, such as Alexa and Google Home, offering hands-free control.

HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Integrated home automation systems are the cornerstone of smart homes. They give homeowners seamless control over various functions, including security, lighting, climate, and entertainment. Intuitive interfaces allow owners to effortlessly manage their home environment while improving comfort and efficiency.

AUTOMATED WINDOW TREATMENTS

Automated window treatments offer enhanced privacy, light control, and insulation at the touch of a button or programmed schedules. Motorized blinds and shades seamlessly integrate with smart home systems, increasing both convenience and energy savings.

SMART APPLIANCES

Smart appliances equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and advanced sensors streamline household chores, from cooking to laundry. These appliances offer remote monitoring and control, boosting efficiency in the kitchen and beyond.

WATER LEAK DETECTION

High-end homes safeguard against costly water damage with integrated water leak detection systems. These systems use sensors to identify and alert homeowners to potential water leaks or plumbing issues. Early detection ensures prompt action, mitigating damage and preserving the integrity of the home.

AUTOMATED IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

Smart irrigation systems help high-end homes maintain lush landscapes while conserving water and reducing utility costs. These systems optimize water usage by adjusting irrigation schedules based on the weather forecast and moisture levels.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS

More high-end homes have begun to include electric vehicle charging stations, supporting the growing trend of electric vehicle ownership and promoting environmental stewardship. These home charging stations provide a convenient solution for eco-conscious homeowners who prioritize sustainable transportation options.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AREAS

Luxurious outdoor living areas create inviting spaces for al fresco gatherings, entertainment, and relaxation with amenities like outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and integrated sound systems. Smart home features add to the experience, allowing homeowners to easily control outdoor lighting, temperature, and audiovisual settings.

Crafting Light-Filled Spaces with Scandinavian Influence

When a young family began dreaming of building a “Swedish Country Home,” their dreams ran deeper than aesthetics. He grew up in Sweden. She in Minnesota, a state known for its Scandinavian heritage. So, to them, the notion of “Swedishinspired” evoked a feeling of familiarity. Of comfort. Of home.

TRANSLATING SENTIMENT INTO A BLUEPRINT

When pulling up the home’s winding drive it all appears so effortless — but it required years of collaboration to complete.

The team, including Bill Costello, CCO of Streeter Custom Builder, Charlie Simmons, founding principal of Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd., and interior designer Linda Engler, founder of Engler Studio Interior Design, as well as the family themselves, trusted each other implicitly. As part of their initial research, this core team poured over old family images to help inform a few architectural details.

One research finding? An obsession with mood-lifting natural light.

“Scandinavians in general really appreciate natural light because half of the year it never gets dark, and the other half it never gets light. So, when you have the ability to create and sculpt environments that take advantage of light, you certainly want to do that. This home is no exception … Marvin gives us the tools to create these wonderful spaces.”

- Charlie Simmons, Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd.

From the architectural choices to the interior design decisions, the team walked a tightrope between modern and traditional. Ultimately, they arrived at an understated transitional style, which strikes a wholly unique tension through a mix of textures, hues, eras, and influences. It’s not predictable, yet it’s oh-so approachable. That’s why an antique clock fits so well alongside a plush, modern ottoman.

INTEGRATING SWEDISH ELEMENTS

While the goal was to veer from the expected, the team arrived at a turning point midway through the project.

“My gut was that we’re not pushing this enough into Scandinavian,” Engler said. “I thought, ‘the architecture needs a little push. And the interiors need a little push.’ I feel like we’re kind of tiptoeing with it.”

So, they went back to the architectural renderings and mood boards to make a few shifts, including swapping the black window exteriors for Cadet Gray in the Marvin Ultimate collection.

“The homeowners shared that Sweden’s all about wonderful grays,” Engler said. “Cadet Gray gives us just some rough punch of outline with a window that makes a statement in a very subtle, diplomatic way.”

The staircase presented another area for stepping up the Swedish influence. Sitting opposite the entryway, it runs three stories with floorto-ceiling windows as a backdrop, drawing guests inside. To keep the staircase light and airy, they opted to soften its black metal spindles with a white plating, detailed with a sweet, subtle Swedish design.

The most consistent element to successful projects is trust. It’s not budget. If you have trust, it always goes well.”

DESIGNED TO EMBRACE NATURE

“One of the things that was really important for our client was to feel at one with nature,” Simmons said. “There’s a reason why somebody buys a lot of land among rolling horse fields.”

From how the home was situated on the property, the landscaping that harkens back to Sweden with its hilly pastures, to the use of expansive glass all throughout the house to easily soak up the surroundings — the team never lost sight of the client’s desire to bring the outdoors in.

So, how did the family feel upon walking into the space for the first time? “They really felt like they were home,” Simmons said.

For more inspiration, visit marvin.com

There are views for days. And I think that that connection to the out-of-doors, even if we’re not out in it … to have the light come in, it gives us that connection that I think really feeds our soul and makes us feel whole.”

THE ART OF GATHERING

begin at Galleria Edina

A DINING TABLE THAT SETS THE SCENE

A beautiful meal deserves an equally stunning setting. Opt for a grand dining table that becomes the heart of the home — whether it’s cra ed from dimensional wood, featuring sleek modern lines, or adorned with sculptural legs that double as conversation starters. Pair with comfortable chairs that invite lingering conversations long into the evening.

STATEMENT

PLACE SETTINGS

A well-set table is as much about presentation as it is about practicality. Layered linens, artful dinnerware, and ornate glassware elevate any meal from casual to refined. Look for handcra ed ceramic plates, elegant stemware, textured placemats, patterned napkins, and themed accents that fit your design aesthetic.

Hosting is an art — one that blends style, comfort, and a touch of drama to create unforgettable moments. Whether you’re setting the stage for a cozy dinner party or curating a warm, inviting space for overnight guests, the right furnishings and décor make all the difference. At Galleria Edina, you’ll find everything you need to transform your home into the ultimate gathering space, where every detail speaks of elevated living.

LOUNGING IN STYLE

Your guests should feel as comfortable mingling over cocktails as they do sinking into a cozy sectional. Consider seating that’s both functional and stylish, like sculptural lounge chairs or upholstered ottomans that add a so touch to any living space.

POTTERY BARN

INDOOR-OUTDOOR FLOW

Extend the party with stylish outdoor furniture that blurs the line between inside and out. Think: weatherproof seating with plush cushions or a chic outdoor dining set perfect for late-summer dinner parties.

THE PERFECT GUEST RETREAT

A great host anticipates every need, including a bedroom that feels like a boutique hotel stay. Crisp sheets, plush duvets, and luxe throw pillows create an irresistible bed, while a thoughtful touch, like a carafe of water on the nightstand or a beautifully scented candle, ensures your guests feel right at home.

PATIO PARTY PICKS

When the weather cooperates, there’s nothing more inviting than an open-air gathering. Create an outdoor setup that’s equal parts stylish and functional—starting with the right essentials. A wood-fired pizza oven, quality cast iron skillet, or build-your-own meal on the grill makes dinnertime feel like an experience, not just a meal. And when the sun dips, set the mood with glowing string lights overhead or a modern fire pit that invites s’mores, stories, and second glasses.

Hosting creates an experience for your friends and family, made better by a beautifully designed space. Find everything you need to create memorable moments at Galleria Edina, where exceptional furniture, home décor, and entertaining essentials await. Explore an array of furniture and home décor stores that offer inspiration, style, and endless possibilities all under one roof. Visit GalleriaEdina.com to discover more.

128 Dellwood Avenue, Dellwood, MN

Originally built in 1889, this 136-year-old Dellwood home on the shore of White Bear Lake received a luxurious remodel befitting its status as one of the area’s “dream homes” due to its charming historical appeal, 1.5 acres of lakeside property, and elevated European style.

• A er living in the home for a few years, the family of seven was looking to enhance the property by refreshing the exterior and creating a more functional interior. The new Colonial Revivalist architectural design elevated the homes existing character.

• New mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were just part of the renovation and reconstruction. New, energy-e cient windows were installed to showcase the views of the lake, while portions of the roof were reframed, floors and walls reinforced, and the original wood-burning fireplaces were revived and made operational again.

• The design of the light pink exterior, characterized by brick and stone accents, continues inside with pink interior doors and brick flooring in the entry, while extensive millwork details can be found both inside and out.

• The home now boasts five bedrooms and bathrooms, an owner’s ensuite featuring a hot/cold plunge tub and sauna, an

enlarged kitchen with fireside dining, 180-degree views of the water, an expansive parlor, and lake room. The outdoor kitchen and massive stone patios are perfect for hosting and taking in the majestic views.

• This home was recently purchased by new owners who inherited nearly a century of unconventional renovations completed by previous occupants. The property had outdated features, structural concerns, ine cient kitchen layouts, a mix of different wood flooring species, and minimal insulation throughout. The goal of the remodel was to blend structural updates with timeless design elements to modernize the home while preserving its original character and charm and accommodating the homeowners’ lifestyle.

• Kitchen layouts and primary bathrooms were designed for improved flow and functionality, and new five-inch white oak flooring was installed throughout to create a cohesive look.

DESIGN BUILD CONCEPT TO COMPLETION

3427 Irving Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN

A thoughtful kitchen refresh brought this 1937 home back to its roots, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern function. Stunning terrazzo flooring, vintage lighting, and Italian marble create a timeless, cohesive space perfect for entertaining in style.

• Designed by Carl Gage, an architect known for The Bakken Museum and his work with the Vanderbilt and Rockefeller families, this home was originally built in 1937 for Frank and Alice Warren, a prominent couple in Minnesota’s mining, banking, and education sectors.

• The existing kitchen felt small and out of sync with the home’s historic charm. To restore balance and authenticity, the team seamlessly integrated elements from the rest of the house. By reintroducing original details like poured terrazzo flooring and vintage sconces at the kitchen entry, the remodel not only honored the home’s history but elevated its function for modern living.

• Luxurious Italian marble countertops and backsplash and a gorgeous mix of tile and terrazzo flooring enhance the kitchen’s beauty and durability. Period-appropriate appliances were chosen to reflect the home’s character, while globally sourced antique light fixtures honor its original era.

• A hidden doorway within the kitchen that leads to other parts of the home adds an element of mystery and charm, while a thoughtfully designed walk-in pantry enhances both storage and aesthetics while keeping the space full of light.

• Constructed entirely without wood, this home is a rare build that utilizes steel, concrete block, and clay tile for its unparalleled durability.

• The addition of a small but impactful twofoot bump-out towards the backyard accomplished the clients’ ideal kitchen, which is now dressed up with white cabinetry, tile, and a sparkling waterfall quartz island that contrasts beautifully with rich walnut cabinetry and darker wood floors.

• The petite main-floor powder room, tucked into the stairway, features walls of glass tile to visually increase the space.

• The lower level presented a different set of challenges the team had to get creative to solve — namely, fitting a bedroom, bathroom, bar, TV room, laundry room, mechanical room, and storage into the 600-square-foot foundation.

• Everything from the metal entry roof to the stunning antique glass bar mirror was designed to reflect the homeowners’ preferences while enhancing the classic style of this 1907 home.

• Must-see features include custom cabinetry and artisan millwork, as well as the rustic live-edge bar top in the moody basement.

Alma Homes, LLC

3010 Lindgren Lane, Maple Plain, MN

Rustic elegance meets contemporary sophistication in this stunning lakeside residence, where each and every room is meticulously crafted to maximize beauty and functionality, ensuring an elevated living experience for its owners to enjoy for years to come.

• The main goal of this remodel was to remedy the low ceilings and dropped so ts that made the home feel closed off, open it up to the surrounding beauty, and create outdoor living spaces for both entertaining and relaxation. The team took the house down to the foundation, added height to the existing foundation to create taller ceilings on the lower level, and built the upper level into bonus room trusses to avoid making the home (situated atop a hill) feel too overbearing.

• Tall, vaulted ceilings create an open, airy feel, while expansive windows capture breathtaking views of Lake Independence and flood the interiors with natural light. A striking doublesided fireplace greets guests upon entry, anchoring the open-concept layout.

for the home’s seamless blend of natural materials and modern design, adding warmth and texture.

• The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a 48-inch gas range, an expansive island, and a hidden door leading to a large pantry that provides ample space for food prep and storage.

• The spacious primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and offers tranquil views of the lake, while a custom laundry room provides a level of stylish practicality.

• The enormous outdoor living area is perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying the scenic lakeside setting.
