South Minneapolis Historic Home Renovation
A city-home transformation focused on flow, comfort, and timeless finishes.
Project Overview
The Challenge
The homeowners wanted to stay in South Minneapolis, but their existing layout was compartmentalized, storage was strained, and indoor-outdoor flow was limited. They needed a plan that improved daily function without making the home feel pieced together.
The Solution
We executed a whole-home strategy combining kitchen and living reconfiguration, a spa-style bathroom upgrade, screened porch expansion, and a new two-stall garage with bonus area. Scope was phased and sequenced so structural work, systems updates, and finish decisions stayed coordinated.
The Outcome
The completed renovation delivers better circulation, practical storage, and year-round usability while preserving neighborhood fit. Exterior transitions were coordinated with Marvin window performance goals and LP SmartSide-compatible detailing where siding interfaces were touched. Considering a similar city-home transformation?

Historic Context, Modern Performance
South Minneapolis renovations often require balancing period character with modern expectations for storage, circulation, and comfort. In this project, the strategy was to retain neighborhood-appropriate details while solving practical layout limitations.
Scope was coordinated around structural constraints, daylight opportunities, and finish continuity so upgrades did not feel patched in. Early planning created room for targeted expansion and improved flow while protecting the architectural identity of the home.
The result is a renovation that feels both local and livable: better function for everyday life, cleaner transitions between spaces, and long-term durability that respects the original house.
