Peterssen Keller Architecture is responsible for the design of this classic Georgian style home located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Georgian-style architecture is characterized by symmetry, balance, and proportion. Its square design is made of brick and features symmetrical windows, shutters, and columns.
This award-winning two-story home had incredible architectural bones, but a complete renovation was needed after years of neglect to create a home for this young family. An addition provides for a light-filled eat-in kitchen, family room and mudroom that create flow through the home and open the spaces to the expansive backyard.
Project Team: Architect: Peterssen Keller Architecture | Interior Design: Engler Studio | Contractor: Streeter & Associates
Traditional detailing and dark wood floors give the rooms a warm feeling, while large cased openings and enameled woodwork provide a brightness lacking in many older homes. Unique materials give the home a personal touch suited to the homeowners, including Moroccan terracotta tile, fanciful encaustic tile, icebox cabinet latches, and solid walnut and zinc countertops. A collection of new and antique furniture, coupled with fabric ready for the abuse of family living, finishes off this incredible home.
Accolades: This project was featured in numerous magazines and has won two ASID design awards.
What We Love: This Georgian style home showcases beautiful living spaces that are warm, inviting and idyllic for family living. A welcoming exterior facade opens into an open and spacious floorplan layout with a crisp and airy palette. Overall the project team did a fabulous job of renovating this home to make it family-friendly and ultra-functional… we are especially loving the staircase design!
