Rehkamp Larson Architects has designed this beautiful modern European cottage-style home located in Deephaven, a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This dream house was created for a couple with three children who lived in an urban city center and desired a more family-focused neighborhood.

On the exterior facade, the material palette consists of hand-troweled stucco, cedar shingles, copper flashing and gutters, and wood windows. This striking aesthetic is brought into the interiors, featuring plaster walls, recycled hand-hewn timber beams, inset wood cabinetry with exposed hinges, stone countertops and sink basins, along with textured cobblestone accents.

Living spaces are adorned with the homeowner’s personal collection of antique furnishings, timeless accessories, and art. This helps to add character to their new home which is brimming with natural and organic materials full of history and a layering of textures.

Throughout this home, you will find a mix of modern and classic, formal and informal. One-of-a-kind details are handmade and authentic, bringing a timeless feel to this gorgeous family home.
