Charlie & Co. Design in partnership with Elevation Homes has created this stunning shingle-style house that is situated in Edina, a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Creating a balance of traditional exterior architecture with a sleek but soft interior was the goal of this new 4,500-square-foot home.

The H-shaped plan consists of two slightly asymmetrical wings, connected via a glass link. This allows for dramatic views and diffused light to penetrate the heart of this gorgeous dwelling. Soffited ceilings and sunken rooms help define interior living spaces, all while maintaining an open floor plan.

Interesting Fact: Several years ago this was the catalog home for the furnishings retailer Room and Board (they staged this entire house). All furniture and art throughout this home was sourced from Room and Board.

The cabinet on the right features touch-latch hardware. The doors are pocket-flipper doors for a TV. The living room is 21×16, while on the other side of the dual-sided fireplace is a library, 12×16.

What We Love: The exterior of this shingle-style house in Minnesota offers a beautiful H-shaped layout that is visually appealing, inviting you inside. Delightful design details throughout along with exquisite furnishings and accessories create an overall welcoming family home. We especially love the warmth and character of the wood flooring and the bright and airy feel thanks to the large windows.
