A Modern Tudor made for taking in the view

The challenge was to design a home uniting two distinct visions while also “amplifying” the reasons the homeowners built on a rolling stretch of prairie in Minnesota outside of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Christopher Strom Architects designed a home that presents as a Tudor from the exterior with white stucco and black accents, including striking E-Series windows and doors, 400 Series windows, and a Folding Outswing Door. On the interior, however, it has a modern aesthetic emphasized by expansive openings whose black frames are made for seeing through, rather than being seen. At the center of it all is a 9 1/2’ tall by 20’ wide Folding Outswing Door that resists rain and snow, proving indoor/outdoor living is possible in every climate.
