The most beautiful job site!

Posted in Under Construction on May 16th, 2013

Without question, this is probably one of my favorite job sites in the history of my building career. Perched on 30 acres overlooking the river just outside of Stillwater.

HOME DESCRIPTION

Cozy. Lake. Cottage. This is one of those homes that, upon walking through the front door, you’ll feel right at home. Great views of Lake Minnewashta in a home that was designed from a “no more than we need” perspective. Smaller in scale, but refined and well appointed. Custom built for a family that is approaching the “empty nest”. The basement bedrooms allow room for the kids to return for the summer, and later return with the grandchildren. All the detail you’d expect in a Stonewood home, on a smaller scale.

Stonewood’s staff Architect, Tom Flint, brings a new level of creativity to our design department

Posted in Design Ideas, Exteriors, Under Construction on August 6th, 2012

As you may be aware, Tom Flint, AIA joined Stonewood earlier this year.  Tom will be bringing a new level of detail to our interiors and focusing on our remodeling projects.  He’s done some great work thus far!  While we will continue to work with the great local architects that have designed so many of our homes in the past, Tom is another resource for our clients to consider for the design of their new home or remodeling project.  Here are a couple of examples of his work on a new home in the Palmer Pointe development on the west end of lake Minnetonka:

We’ve broken ground in Locust Hills, Wayzata on a new Custom Home!

Posted in Exteriors, Under Construction on August 6th, 2012

Check out the mess we’ve made at Locust Hills!  Actually, it’s a very well organized job site, but a huge excavation in the woods.  This will be an amazing home.  Designed by Peter Eskuche, it’s a tudor style home that will be very authentic in detailing.  It’s a stand out project, and we’re proud to be a part of building it for a great family.  Check back for more photos…

Casco point, Orono custom home

Posted in Exteriors, Under Construction on July 7th, 2012

We’ve got the foundation in and back filled at this custom home site in Orono. Like most of our Lake Minnetonka new construction projects, this Orono project began with a tear down. It will be an east coast inspired shingle home for a couple moving to the lake from Eden Prairie. Designed by Kathryn Alexander, Alexander Design Group. Check back for progress photos.
