About the Winning Remodeling Project:

modern Minnetonka condo - art deco style

Minnetonka Condo Remodel: Hollywood Regency Meets Art Deco
Luxurious Condo Living: Bright and Beautiful & Ready for Entertaining

These homeowners purchased a 2000’s era condo to be their forever home. They absolutely loved the Minnetonka location (easy access to highways, dining, and shopping), and the condo unit itself had gorgeous views of nature right outside their windows. The size and layout of the space was ideal – perfect for hosting guests and entertaining, yet not too large to maintain. They knew the building, location and condo space could all support both their current lifestyle and their future needs.

The actual design of the condo, however, was very dated, and not quite their style. The space also needed some updates and features to really make it work for their lifestyle and needs.

So, they set out to make it look and feel their own!
