Home Tours 2008
As published in Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine - September 2008
Art has been a constant in violonist Margaret Humphrey's life, so it's natural that her 1955 home reflects art in every possible way, right down to its architectual bones. In her home's renovation, Humphrey, a violinist with the Minnesota Opera orchestra and a founding member of the Belladonna Baroque Quartet, put to use architectual salvage from one of Minneapolis' highest profile recent teardowns - the Allianz Building that stood where the Walker Art Center's Herzog & de Meuron addition was constructed...

A modern story line..
By Jim Buchta
As published in Star Tribune - February 2007
"We wanted our house to look like a building that had 'learned', said Bill, recalling a six-part BBC series based on the book "How Buildings Learn: What Happens to Them After They're Built." That series articulated something the couple knew intuitively...

An over - arching plan
By Jim Buchta
As published in Star Tribune - November 2006
Once upon a time, carriage barns and coach houses were built to stash horses and cars on the main level, with their drivers above. This New Scandia Township lake house redefines that concept.
The client wanted an interim gateway that would...

Cates Fine Homes - Family Owned Since 1970.
By Mason Riddle
As published in Builder/Architect - August 2006
The age old phrase "blood is thicker than water" could be Cates Fine Homes' motto. A family business started in 1970 by Judd Cates, the enterprise is now managed by three of his children - Jay, Jeff and Jennifer - and employs an in-law or two. Although semi-retired, Judd never strays too far away. Thirty-six years later, the business is still located in Stillwater, MN, where the entire Cates family was born and raised.......

Little White Houses on the Prairie
By Pamela Hill Nettleton
As published in Mpls/St Paul Magazine - April 2006
It is human nature to yearn for community- a hood, a haunt, a place of like minded folk. We want to feel at home, not only in our living room, out on the sidewalk, down the block, up the street. We want to feel like we live where there's a "there" there.
Time was, we did. We came together because of the river, the seashore.....

Tracking the Trends - Getting Rural.
By JBK
As published in Mpls/St Paul Magazine - August 2005
People are reacting to busy city life by taking on some very rural ways. Several entries had silos and gables and were integrated harmoniously into their natural landscape. Bob & Terri Ten Eyck's residence, built in New Scandia, MN, was designed so that the garage with an upstairs guesthouse, could be a stand-alone cabin. Natural materials help blend the house easily into the quiet wooded property....

Mix and Match - A colorful residence rambles in style.
By Barbara Knox
As published in Minnesota Architecture - May/June 2005
When Bill and Susan Jolitz began planning their retirement home, they quickly developed a short list of "must-haves". They wanted a not-so-big house with geothermal radiant heating, comfortable, usable spaces, and a single level living option. There was just one small hitch: living in Saudi Arabia and planning to settle in Minnesota, they needed an architect to design and build their dream home with them in absentia.....

Swedish Simple
By Reed Kroloff
As published in Metropolitan Home - March 2005
When building their own homes, most architects reserve the design honors for themselves. Carl Remick, who had lived in downtown Minneapolis for 30 years, could have done the same. Instead, he decided to retire in Jackson Meadow, Minnesota, a community where all the houses are designed by David Salmela...

Citation Award - Salmela Architect and Coen & Sumpf Associates
As published in Wood, Design & Building - Autumn 2004
Drawn from the Scandinavian roots of northern Minnesota, the housing development is assembled as a village with conservation between houses, and serves as a model for other developers. Houses are set directly on the prairie, rather than merging with it, so that the two co-habit in a delicate balance. Details such as asymmetric gable roofs, and cutouts in facades, are playful and inventive...

Family recipe
By Douglas A. Peterson
As published in Home Plan Ideas - Spring 1998
With three growing girls and a pastry business rising just as quickly, Kirsten and Ronald Johnson faced a space crunch. But it was nothing 50 acres and a spacious house with a commercial quality kitchen could not fix.
The Johnsons had been living in a 1914 farmhouse on 14 acres near Stillwater, Minnesota, just east of Saint Paul. Their kitchen was filled with the aroma of cheesecakes, tortes, cakes and other desserts...
