Behind the Build: Meet Tim and Hannah

Creating a custom home is an incredible opportunity. However, the process can be daunting and shrouded in mystery if it's your first major build. Today, we’re featuring a new video, Behind the Build, to offer a glimpse behind the scenes of our design process.

Our clients, Tim and Hannah, were gracious enough to let us document the planning and construction of their Edina home. Tim built his previous home with REFINED (and his parents did, too!), and we couldn’t be happier to help him and Hannah craft their dream home!

A family of four with their two dogs, Hannah and Tim, are creating the place where they’ll raise their future children. Hannah’s design vision is a classic-looking home that stands the test of time. She hopes their house lives with them and changes throughout their life together while always feeling warm and established.

Collaborating with Hannah and Tim has been a joy for our team. We pride ourselves on offering an involved client process, which means we’re personally with you every step of the way. From lot sourcing to design selections to move-in day, we look forward to executing Tim and Hannah’s vision alongside them.

Our Favorite Kid Spaces: Bedrooms, Homework Hubs, and Play Areas

It’s always a delight to create fun spaces for our youngest clients! We love bringing rooms to life that express their personalities and give them room to grow as they learn, relax, play, and dream.

One of the biggest advantages of building a custom home is tailoring spaces around your unique family and lifestyle. Whether designing a dreamy nursery, a playroom that inspires imagination, a study space equipped for hybrid learning, or your teenager’s favorite hangout, we love creating rooms that make kids feel at home.

Stunning Statement Fireplaces

As we settle into the rhythms of fall in the Twin Cities, we thought it would be fun to share our favorite stunning statement fireplaces. While it’s always hard to leave behind carefree summer days, there’s nothing like cozying up in front of a warm fire on a brisk autumn evening!

Fireplaces are a design staple for a reason; they’re the perfect marriage of form and function. Whether your taste is modern, minimal, or traditional, fireplaces lend themselves to expressing your style. As the center of many rooms, fireplaces often serve as the design anchor or focal point. They command your attention, draw your eye, and invite you in.
