This residence is actually a “remodeling” of an old family ranch. The team at U+B Architecture and Design did a great job in making the house more spacious and adding plenty of windows in order to ensure a great lighting throughout the day. The building seems to blend in its natural environment (a beautiful large wood) due to the materials used for the exterior finishes. The villa is located in Western Minneapolis and it was designed for a couple and their two children who will certainly not get bored of these landscapes any time soon.

The Metz Residence by U+B Architects stands out through its impressive interior and exterior design. Emanating a feeling of coziness, of peace and relaxation, the colors are bold (blue, yellow) yet remain pale not to disturb the perfect balance of this house. The architecture challenge was to rebuild a 1923 home by adding an office, a master suite, an entertainment center and a mudroom. Large efforts have been made in order to keep the old “looks” of the house in matters of aesthetics and even materials. A back garden was also a new element. Take a look at the fantastic results!
