Doors & Windows

A band of precast concrete, which holds a custom bench, wraps around the downstairs living area. The striped cushion fabric was purchased in Antwerp. A wood-framed AP71 lounge chair by Hans Wegner and a seat by Wim Rietveld, the son of famed Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld, outfit the space. Underfloor heating installed throughout the house allows for a flexible layout: “There aren’t any radiators cluttering up the rooms,” Jeffries explains.

Because replacing the foundation would require significant alterations to the facade, the architecture team chose not to restore the original cottage.

Nestled on the banks of the St. Croix River in Minnesota, this contemporary home merges the living room with an expansive deck with a disappearing Ultimate Multi-Slide Door by Marvin.

Sea green details appear throughout the house, peeking out from behind the exterior screen or on interior partitions.

An Eero Saarinen Womb chair sits in the master bedroom, which also has a small office space.
