This stunning modern sanctuary with rugged elegance was designed by Everson Architect along with Gordon James Construction for a young family of four in search of a large scenic property in the suburbs of Minnesota. The house’s design was influenced by a mountain modern aesthetic, which can be found in vacation retreats in the western US, such as Jackson Hole. The house was sited to take advantage of panoramic views of adjacent protected wetlands.
Design selections in this home were selected to create a modern Midwest architectural style. The project team selected materials and finishes that were rugged yet refined. This includes Atlantic white cedar siding and metal on the exterior and wood beams, stone wall accents, and limestone flooring on the interior. The open floor plan offers expansive custom windows that flood the interiors with natural light while enhancing views of the surrounding terrain.

The house’s layout was organized around three wings, with connecting links between. Features of the house include a vaulted great room with exposed white oak beams, a copious amount of glazing, and a lower-level custom golf simulator.
Unique details, such as hand-blown custom light fixtures and one-of-a-kind iron stair railings, add to the home’s visually striking aesthetic, resulting in a design that’s as functional as it is visually captivating.
What We Love: Inspired by a mountain-modern aesthetic, this gorgeous home features rugged elegance throughout its living spaces, from the material selections to the finishes. There are so many beautiful design features in this dwelling, with the floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the living room, the exposed wood ceiling beams, the exquisite light fixtures, and the expansive walls of glazing that seamlessly connect the interiors to the surrounding natural landscape. The lower level is equally impressive, offering fantastic spaces for entertaining guests.
