White Bear Lake Remodeling

During years of living in Asia,

the owners would return to

their Minnesota home on

White Bear Lake to complete

phases of this remodeling.

Responding to the context

and incorporating elements of

Asian culture root the project

in its place while recalling the

experience of their time

abroad. The design was

developed as a phased

project constructed over a 17

year period.

Sustainable design maximizes

energy efficiency and

incorporated recycling and

reuse and sourcing local

materials.
