Gateway Home
In an effort to not ad to the urban sprawl of the neighborhood, the new structure was built within the footprint of the removed ranch home and the property’s ivy covered limestone perimeter walls remained in place. The home's design inspiration came from the special and functional design of a ship married with the turret form of a lighthouse.
Lake of the Isles, Gateway Home
Modern architecture tends to garner no shortage of opinions. The fabulous “Gateway Home”, was the first modern structure on Minneapolis’s historic Lake of the Isles. Some neighbors embraced it; others felt it veered too far from the traditional aesthetic of the area. And there were those who felt it fit right in with the eclectic assortment of styles around the lake. Seen from that perspective, the only style that had been missing was modern.
