KAMPF Residence
Duluth, MN, 2006
Located in Duluth, Minnesota across the street from one of the city's favorite creeks, Chester Creek, this house has been given new life as every surface of this house was touched.
On the exterior, the existing vinyl siding was removed to reveal the authentic wood siding, which was carefully restored to its original beauty. The roof was replaced on the house, and twin garages were built off the backyard with fresh landscaping around them. Entry porches were added as well as a back patio complete with Silvercocoon-designed furniture to extend the living space to the outdoors and formalize the transition from the outdoors to the interior of the house.
Inside, all of the original solid wood floors were refinished. Walls and trim were painted a fresh coat of white, all windows were re-glazed, and textured ceilings were made smooth to brighten and modernize the space. The kitchen was entirely redesigned, the upstairs bathroom refinished, and the basement was newly finished as a mudroom, laundry, and bathroom suite.
