Lowry Hill Revival

The goals for this major remodeling to a 1891 house in an historic Minneapolis neighborhood were to create a highly functional, up to date interpretation of an historic home for an active family with two children. The project included a complete kitchen and breakfast room remodeling, and a subterranean mudroom and utility kitchen in a lower level, linking the formerly detached garage and remodeled playroom/office to the main house under a new deck and screened porch. The front porch and landscaping were also updated to highlight the long elegant horizontal line of the front porch.
