Vergas, MN · Single-level living, thoughtful everyday details and space for the work beyond the house.
The project
Comfort within. Possibility beyond.
Rural Retreat brings efficient, single-level living to a quiet Minnesota setting. The slab-on-grade home gathers the kitchen, dining and living spaces into an open center, with broad windows and a fireplace giving the room warmth and a clear focal point.
The primary suite brings its own considered details: a tray ceiling, sliding barn door, generous bathroom, walk-in closet and tiled shower. Outside, a detached garage provides additional storage and workshop space, keeping practical needs close to home.
