New Gambrel on the Block

Custom Home, New Build | Linden Hills, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Traditional Quality

This new, custom home is designed to blend into the existing “Cottage City” neighborhood in Linden Hills. To accomplish this, we incorporated the “Gambrel” roof form, which is a barn-shaped roof that reduces the scale of a 2-story home to appear as a story-and-a-half.  With a Gambrel home existing on either side, this is the New Gambrel on the Block.

An investment in quality materials, including crisp lap-siding and a cedar shingle roof, adds richness and timelessness to the home, making it appear as if this home was restored from an earlier age.  This home will contribute to the neighborhood’s character for generations.

Its All About the Entry

This home has a traditional--yet fresh--design. The columns, located on the front porch, are of the Ionic Classical Order, with authentic proportions incorporated. Next to the columns is a light, modern, metal railing that stands in counterpoint to the home’s classic frame. This balance of traditional and fresh design is found throughout the home.

Bright & Airy Living Room

After entering through the sage green front door, visitors are greeted by the spacious yet welcoming central gathering space.

Modern Kitchen & Pantry

Despite the home’s more traditional exterior, the interior is outfitted with modern furnishings and appliances.
