Unfold Architecture, together with Sustainable 9 Design, has designed this minimal, modern house centered around the view of Bde Maka Ska and the downtown skyline, nestled in the heart of Linden Hills, a neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This three-story residence features triple-pane windows, a floating steel staircase, an elevator, and a rooftop deck with an entertainment space perfect for hosting family and friends.

Carved into the lot, a tuck under three-car garage provides storage for vehicles and lake toys while preserving the front of the home for an elevated porch with lake views. A rear patio and rooftop deck offer entertainment space with scenes of the Minneapolis skyline and the lake as a backdrop. Encompassing 3,742 square feet of living space this dwelling boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Continue below to see the rest of this home…

Custom metal louvers accent the home’s front and rear, acting as window privacy buffers and a staircase to the roof deck. The forms and materials remain modest to let the crisp lines balance the modern structure and the exterior accents.
