Thank You! A Wonderful Weekend Homes By Architects Tour 2013

This past weekend the Homes by Architects Tour was a success!

We were so happy to see everyone who came out.  We had a great time talking with everyone, and were very appreciative of all the positive feedback!

Harvey and Ben ready to go.

A huge thank you goes out to Jon, Katie, Bryn, Paige, and Maisy for opening up their home!  Great clients make great projects- to think we met on this exact tour one year ago, what an incredible process it has been!

The weekend has arrived.  Join us this weekend for the Homes by Architects tour, the most unique home tour of the Twin Cities.  This year we are showing off our latest full house remodel in Minnetonka.  Building Arts plays an important role in the line up of these beautiful homes.  With this home, we show how to work within a budget and get the most out of your spaces.  Through thoughtful wall movements and the redefinition of space, we were able to transform a 1962 rambler... 

Layout before and after: we opened up the kitchen and dining by removing headers and scaling back the walls, two bedrooms became a master suite with a sliding glass door, the bathroom was enlarged and rearranged, the kitchen was opened up to more light and traffic flow.

the kitchen closet was scaled back to bring light deeper into the home, a creative storage unit was placed on the end.

Design Beyond Beauty: The Art and Science of Home (A Building Arts Workshop)

October 23rd, 7:00 pm

95 Mackubin Street
Saint Paul

Building Arts is hosting our very first workshop!

Come and join us for a thoughtful conversation on the ingredients for a healthy, comfortable, and future-forward home.  

Join us for an evening with Cindy Ojczyk (“o-check”) founder of More Than A Beautiful Home. She will talk about the ingredients for a better home so you and your professionals can stir them into your recipe for a beautiful home. You will even learn how to showcase your success so you can be the inspiration that helps someone else create their beautiful and better home. Wine and appetizers will be served. 

Many of us seek to live in a home of exceptional beauty with pleasing finishes and ample space. Equally important, but not as pronounced, is our underlying expectation that our homes surround us in comfort while keeping us safe. As homes have become more complex, however, the delivery of comfort and safety should not be assumed. Homeowners must learn to ask for what it is they want. Would you like to prevent or eliminate uncomfortably hot or cold rooms, ice dams, high utility bills, condensation on windows, moisture in basements, and the invisible toxins that can harm your family? If so, you must seek the professionals that speak your same language. If you want a home that aligns with your environmental values for energy, water, and resource conservation, you must ask for it. 

Cindy Ojczyk is an accomplished interior designer, green building co-author, and residential energy researcher that will provide the insight you need to stand up for what you want and get what you need.   See her website at http://www.morebeautifulhome.com/
