Laura is an artist and teacher, and Ken is an industrial designer and the chair of the Industrial Design program at the U of M. We worked with Minneapolis architecture firm CITYDESKSTUDIO who created a new addition to the house which will serve as a studio and office, with a bridge over to the main house. The house has a view of Medicine Lake that was begging to be framed with creation of sight lines. Our goal was to bring the architecture into the site in a literal fashion, using lap siding and walls to create outdoor rooms in what is a large and open space.
