After a decade in the Nicollet Island neighborhood of Minneapolis, the homeowners cherished the vibrant community known for its walkability, excellent dining, and strong sense of connection. While their home held significant sentimental value, its first-floor layout no longer met their needs for hosting their friends and family. Eager to preserve their bond with the neighborhood while modernizing their living space, they turned to Quartersawn to bring their vision to life.

The transformation included a new kitchen featuring a spacious Calacatta porcelain island, modern appliances, and custom cabinetry. The bar was elevated with bespoke walnut cabinetry and elegant fluted glass panels. The fireplace was redesigned to blend style and function, becoming a striking focal point for gatherings. The result is a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that reflects the homeowners’ desire for entertaining while maintaining a deep connection to the neighborhood they love.
