A complete gut of circa 1900s worker housing in the Seward neighborhood, Minneapolis: Initially considered for complete demolition, this small working family home was in disastrous shape. Saved by three investors, the project was managed by Fulcrum Group and the design concept and layout transformation executed by C+N. The entire interior was gutted down to the studs. The stairs, kitchen, bath, and laundry were reworked within the confines of the existing 1,080 sf two-story home. A new code compliant stairway was designed, and the stair landing was used as an opportunity to create an elevated floor for the new modern bath and laundry rooms. This change moved the bathroom access out of the kitchen and brought these rooms within comfortable proximity to the two upstairs bedrooms. The result is an unrecognizable transformation of the interior. Here’s to new beginnings!
