MSP Home & Design Magazine’s RAVE Awards

This year, MSP Home & Design Magazine honored four of our projects at the annual RAVE Awards. Valdres, Sunflower, and Pondside took home first place awards in their respective categories, and Cypress & Bluestone placed second for New Home (1500-3500 sq ft).

From the Fall edition of MSP Home & Design Magazine:

“Selected by a national jury of architects and design professionals, this year’s honorees show how thoughtful architecture can shape more meaningful living— say, by reworking a 1980s suburban kitchen, framing a view of the woods through a well-placed window, or crafting an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) filled with warmth and efficiency. Together, they stand as a testament to the architectural talent that helps make our state so special. ”
