In a notable collaboration that showcases the marriage of traditional craftsmanship and modern design, Bespoke Finish contributed to an exceptional Lake Harriet residence project. Among Minnesota’s finest artisans selected for this distinctive home, our team was chosen to create a custom front door that would become a defining feature of this architectural masterpiece.

The project, developed by Trestle Homes owner Peter Crain and designed by the renowned PKA Architecture team, seamlessly blends traditional elements with contemporary design. The home’s unique aesthetic required a front door that would serve as both a functional entrance and an artistic statement, bridging the classical and modern aspects of the architecture.

Working alongside other skilled Minnesota craftsmen, including Stone Creek Masonry, Bauer Metal, and GK Millwork & Cabinetry, the project exemplifies the highest standards of local craftsmanship. Each element was carefully considered to create a cohesive design that respects the neighborhood’s character while introducing modern elements.

The home, which was featured on the AIA MN Homes by Architects Tour, stands as a testament to the power of collaboration between skilled artisans and visionary architects. It demonstrates how custom finishing work can contribute to the overall architectural narrative of a space, creating lasting impressions that enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a home.
