Gorgeous New Build in Wayzata

It's been a while since we shared any of the projects we've been working on, and today we're coming back strong! Our team recently put the finishing touches on this stunning new build in Wayzata, and it's truly something special. Designing new construction in an established community is a delicate balance. Certainly, the home will feature the technology and amenities of modern construction, but its essence should feel classic and blend into the surrounding neighborhood. It doesn't get more charming than downtown Wayzata; this lakeside town is a slice of Minnesota history that J.J. Hill once called home! Our mission was to create a modern home that complements Wayzata's charming small-town vibe. We're excited about the results! As soon as you step inside, this home feels like a breath of fresh air, with an elegant, transitional style. A seasoned host will feel right at home here, from the formal yet welcoming main floor to the casual basement bar. A few of our favorite features include the soaring three-story staircase, a moody pocket office, the dining room butler's pantry, a tucked-away prep pantry leading into the mudroom, and every inch of the incredible kitchen! Are you ready to see more of this magnificent new construction home? Scroll through the photo gallery below for a full virtual tour! Dreaming of your next remodel or forever home?

How Do You Balance Two Bathroom Remodel Styles?

Every remodel has a different goal. With our bathroom remodeling services, it’s not always about starting from scratch, but rather it’s about making thoughtful updates that elevate what’s already there. That was the case with this recent bathroom remodel, where we reimagined two bathrooms with distinct approaches: one full transformation, one strategic refresh.

So how do you balance two bathroom styles? One of the best ways is to start with clear, intentional bathroom remodeling ideas that consider both form and function. It comes down to understanding the purpose of each space and creating continuity through shared materials, finishes, and design intent. In this home, each bathroom serves a different function, but both now feel cohesive thanks to custom details, smart updates, and a unified aesthetic. In the first bathroom remodel, we kept the existing shower but replaced the cracked floor tile, added custom Rift Sawn White Oak cabinetry with reeded panels, and installed new fixtures. The result? A cleaner, more modern space that feels warm, inviting, and effortlessly functional. It’s a great example of how small upgrades can completely change the feel of a room. The second bathroom underwent a full remodel. We kept the original layout but introduced new materials, smart storage solutions, and updated finishes to bring fresh energy to the space. Together both bathrooms now reflect the same refined and functional design sensibility, showcasing our bathroom remodeling services tailored to the home's character.

Interior Home Remodeling for a 1930s Home in Wayzata

Preserving the charm of a 1930s home while integrating modern amenities is no easy task, but we were excited to work on this interior home remodeling project in Wayzata. Utilizing our interior design services, our goal was to create a perfect balance of character and contemporary living while ensuring every detail flowed beautifully throughout the home.

Enhancing Curb Appeal with an Exterior Update

The exterior of this Wayzata home was beautifully updated with siding in a rich, modern color, and windows that fill the home with natural light, which has created a welcoming new entryway. One of our favorite updates is the enclosed transition from the house to the new garage – it adds both charm and practicality.

Creating Warm and Inviting Interiors with Modern Enhancements

Inside, we focused on blending modern comforts with historic details through our expert interior home remodeling and interior design services. The new hardwood floors brought warmth and depth to every room, while the rebuilt staircases offer both style and current code compliance. A new mudroom and enclosed spaces add function while maintaining the home’s original charm. Every window, trim, and detail was carefully considered to create a space that feels both fresh and timeless. The kitchen remodeling included new cabinets, countertops, and tile that feel both sophisticated and welcoming. We introduced fresh fixtures and finishes for a timeless look in the bathroom remodeling portion of the project. The upper-level rooms were also remodeled to include larger closets, with a spacious walk-in closet in the master bedroom.

Project Feature: Bloomington Kitchen Remodel

We're excited to finally share the details of a stunning kitchen transformation we recently completed in Bloomington, Minnesota! Prior to the remodel, the kitchen of this townhouse was outdated, small, and closed off from the rest of the main level. The homeowner's biggest goal was to create an open kitchen with a view of the deck from the sink instead of a wall. To accomplish that goal, we reimagined the kitchen layout, removing the wall separating the kitchen from the entry and living room and adding a peninsula for the sink. The new kitchen layout suits the home perfectly! One of our favorite features is the wood beams, which add a lot of character and detail to the space. The white quartz countertop and painted cabinetry contrast perfectly with the stained range hood and open shelving, which carries over to the built-ins surrounding the fireplace. The repositioned sink offers a clear view of the patio while allowing plenty of natural light into the kitchen. Want a closer look at the design details?

Featured Project: Award-Winning Pergola

We recently shared some great news; Knight Construction Design, Inc. won a Roma Award and three CotY awards in 2020! Now that the big news is out, we wanted to share a closer look at the project that won a CotY award in the Residential Detached Structure category. Let's dive in! When the homeowner approached our team, their exterior lacked curb appeal. The home's front originally featured an entry structure composed of bulky stucco columns topped with painted wood beams. Because the structure matched the home's exterior, there was no visual appeal to draw the eye. The oversized columns also blocked natural light, which made the walkway feel dark and boxed in. Determined to give the home's exterior new life, our team got to work designing a brand-new structure. We created a natural timber pergola and paired it with a lighter brushed concrete walk. The Douglas Fir structure contrasts beautifully with the exterior of the home to create a welcoming focal point. Slender columns allow plenty of natural light to warm up the front entry. An architectural detail inside the home inspired the custom hand-crafted banding and bolts around the posts. This fun detail gives guests a peek of what's to come while creating a cohesive design inside and out. Ready for a closer look at this award-winning custom exterior project?

Project Feature: Modern Main Level Transformation

Today, we're excited to give you a peek inside this sophisticated and modern main level transformation! These homeowners decided their dated kitchen was due for an update, and they reached out to our team to make it happen. While much of the kitchen's layout didn't change, the reimagined space is far more functional, open, and accessible. Working together, we helped the homeowners create a gorgeous kitchen featuring new paint, dark gray cabinetry, Cambria Quartz countertops, eye-catching floating shelves, and elongated matte white subway tile to create a lean modern look. Every inch of the cabinetry interior (pictured below) was considered and designed to maximize this busy family's storage space. New windows allow more natural light to flow throughout the kitchen, giving it a much-needed "light and bright" feel. Brand-new appliances, including a new range hood, complete the look of this newly remodeled kitchen. We also updated the living room to create a more cohesive design throughout the main floor. In addition to painting the existing brick fireplace white, we added built-in cabinets and floating wall shelves, which help bring the living room and kitchen together and make the two spaces feel more like one. Our team loved collaborating with these homeowners and helping breathe new life into their space. Scroll below to get a look at the details of this amazing transformation!
