Modern Tudor Pt. I

If you’ve been keeping up with us on our social channels, you might have seen us blushing over the fact that Traditional Home published our Modern Tudor project with SD Custom Homes and David Charlez Designs on their website recently.

This home was featured on the Twin Cities’ Artisan Home Tour this summer and was one of our favorite projects we completed in 2019. So, it’s safe to say we were thrilled to hear that the Trad. Home team loved it as much as we did!


Since there are so many incredible spaces we want to share in this home, we’ve decided to break up the reveal into two parts. Today, we’ll be starting with the exterior, foyer, office, sunroom, and kitchen/pantry. Ready? Alright, let’s dive in!

Exterior

As the name of this project indicates, this is a Modern Tudor style home. There are so many things we love about a Tudor style – the traditionalism, the character. But, you often don’t see it in new construction homes. We knew that we couldn’t fool anyone into thinking it was a historical home, so we decided to purposely incorporate updated, modern details to the design.

We worked closely with SD Custom Homes and David Charlez Designs to craft this home with an old soul and we couldn’t love it more.

Our favorite detail? The copper gutters. 😍

Foyer

As you walk through the front door, you step into the beautiful, bright foyer. Our client’s art from Hong Kong and vintage rug from India made the perfect accessories and give that rich, unique personality to the space that juxtaposes the modern touches throughout.

When designing this area, the homeowners expressed their desire to have a privacy wall or separation between the foyer and living room. Not wanting to get rid of any natural lighting, we landed on the idea of creating a custom leaded-glass partition.

SD completely nailed it when it came to sourcing this piece that was driven all the way to Minnesota from Baltimore. Worth. It.

Office

For the office space, we wanted to play with a more masculine aesthetic. From the menswear inspired wallpaper to the gray painted cabinetry, this space is beautiful and inspiring – characteristics we believe every office should have!

The reeded crown molding throughout gave a nod to the traditional style while the more modern details (i.e. hardware and lighting) balanced the space out. Brooke & Lou collected accessories adorned the built-in bookshelves which also gave the room an eclectic, unique look. Our favorite!

Sunroom

Now this is a room we could spend hours in. Our client nicknamed this area her “garden room” as it is surrounded by walls of windows that overlook the beautiful landscape outside.

With loads of sunlight, a marble, checkerboard pattern tile floor, and soft, blush pink touches, this room allowed us to play with a more feminine design scheme (without going overboard!). We love that it feels special and personalized for her while not seeming out of place in comparison to the rest of the home.

Kitchen

For the last stop of our tour today, we’re finishing with the kitchen and pantry! Out of all the spaces in the home, we believe this room encompasses the Modern Tudor style the most.

Iron diamond-shaped pendants over the island bring in the form and weightiness of a past era, as does a white brick backsplash. However, the Cambria waterfall island and sleek, black barstools speak directly to today.

Aged-oak pocket doors separate the kitchen from the butler’s pantry that houses the appliances as well. More and more often we’re seeing our clients wanting to hide away their ovens, sinks, and microwaves from the rest of the kitchen area and we’re all for it.

While the butler’s pantry is extremely functional, we made sure that it didn’t lack in beauty or attention to detail. Flooring made of handmade tile offers durability and a time-honored look and open, wood shelving made the perfect place to display extra kitchen accessories in style.

That’s all for today! Make sure to check back in next week to see Part II of our Modern Tudor project reveal.
