This is an all-green total renovation
of a 100-year-old farmhouse, originally
built as the living quarters for
the nuns of Chanhassen’s first Catholic
church. This home has a white standing
seam roof and is in the process of being
totally and originally transformed. It has
an open living plan, two bedrooms with
balconies, study space, and a four-season
sunroom, all in less than 1,500 square
feet. This small, functional, more affordable
project is meant to be a prototype for
a new urban revitalization style, all green,
including solar panels, and all new.
