RIVERBANK RESIDENCE

WARROAD, MINNESOTA

This new home in northern Minnesota is inspired by the colonial houses of Vermont. A symmetrical center hall colonial elevation faces the street and is joined to a barn form in the back by a one-story link. On the back, the house opens up via 4’x6′ double-hung windows providing views of the adjacent river valley. Material choices stay true to Vermont sources with the use of brick, slate, and other materials from the Green Mountain State.

Two photos of a large, pale yellow farmhouse designed by a Minnesota architect, surrounded by green lawns and tall trees, with a wide open field in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
Two images show a bright kitchen and living area with large windows, custom cabinetry and millwork, stainless steel appliances, island counters, wood floors, and a timeless interior design using natural materials.
Sunlit hallway with large windows on the right, a white door and two framed pictures on the left wall, a small black bench near the far door, and tiled dark floor. Outside, trees and grass offer serene views in this timeless interior design.
