Dwelling in simplicity, timelessness, and a careful choreography of spaces

The clients hired MSR Design to help them rightsize their current Minneapolis home. Creating space for regularly entertaining friends and family became a primary design driver. Completely gutted and reconfigured, the condominium offers a large master suite, contiguous entertainment spaces, and a home office that take advantage of beautiful views across the Mississippi River to downtown Minneapolis. The home includes a service kitchen for entertaining and a primary kitchen, which opens into a dining/living room for casual entertaining with the fireplace wall acting as a visually unifying agent for the more public spaces. Teak paneling and cabinets and a five-foot-long, white porcelain, cantilevered peninsula complement the white-on-white kitchen. The design also incorporates the clients’ extensive art collection.
