When the clients returned to Minneapolis after living overseas, they purchased two raw shells in a historic building overlooking the Mississippi River. Originally built in 1879, the seven-story brick structure had a rich past, having served as both a flour mill and a luxury hotel before its conversion into a condominium.
Situated on a picturesque site on the east shore of a lake, Shoreline residence is designed to bring the experience of the lake into the house. The large living and family rooms feature panoramic lake views through floor to ceiling windows, and a clerestory above creates a sense of openness and lightness to the spaces.
This modern single family home fits organically into its hilly lakeside site just outside of St. Paul, Minnesota. The single story home features a “look-out” basement level to accommodate for more sun-lit living spaces.
Modern design is often framed as a process of distilling architecture down to its very essence, and creating a form directly responsive to the occupant’s functional needs. The design of the Sheridan Residence looks to capture just this attitude, with a purity of form and intent inherent in its simplicity.
Beautifully situated on a rise overlooking Lake Calhoun, this dynamic modern home was designed to maximize views of the lake and the downtown skyline. In response to the deep urban lot, the house is set back from the street with three pavilions interconnected by transparent garden spaces.
