September
Stillwater, Minnesota
The design of September is a marriage of family and community into a compact, contemporary home for four in a context of a small town early 20th century neighborhood. The team of clients, architects and builders, all local, collaborated on a modestly priced, energy efficient and LEED inspired structure. A first floor of casual family living, inside and out, is infused with traditional wood floors, glu-lam beams and energy efficient appliances. A second floor of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are snuggled under a low, well-insulated roof. The home is furnished with a simple, colorful collection from Autumn Cottage, the clients’ hometown store. Factory produced, advanced building materials reduce waste and are sheathed in low maintenance composite materials, painted in a community compatible color. See basement, 1st floor plan and 2nd floor plan.
