Added onto the back of the home to support a new larger kitchen.

In a South Minneapolis home, we embarked on a transformative project, removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room. This strategic change gave way to an open-concept kitchen design, complete with a welcoming sitting bar. Additionally, we found room to incorporate a half bath on the first floor, adding convenience for guests and relieving the need to use the sole bathroom upstairs.

Our client expressed a desire for a "grandma chic" aesthetic, and I'm proud to say we were able to bring that vision to life. Although the photos may not fully capture its charm, the countertop, aptly named "Prima," is a standout feature in this space. The exquisite tan striations within the material have won my admiration, making it my current favorite among countertops.

Every project present's it's own challenge. Highrise condo bathroom remodels can be tricky. This one was no exception. The tile work on this was pretty epic. I'm super happy how this turned out and so was the client.

New Hope full bathroom remodel. Design features include black base double vanity with contrasting white top and integrated sinks, subway tiled shower, and new toilet.

We remodeled this spacious bathroom to incorporate a soaker tub, a walk-in shower equipped with six body sprayers, and a private toilet room. Our design objective was to maintain a masculine yet inviting ambiance throughout the space.

Exploring the use of color in design is always an exciting process. Working with a client who harbors a love for the color blue, we gave their bathroom a fresh makeover. The transformation included a new shower and a tasteful incorporation of blue tiles, adding a vibrant touch to the space.

e’ve come across this challenge often when trying to fit a bathroom in sloped ceiling spaces and the budget or roof doesn't support adding a dormer. In these cases, we built out what we call a "vanity soffit", a tall soffit spanning from higher on the angled portion down to a comfortable height above the faucet bringing the upper portion of the flat wall forward. Its width typically depends on lighting needs and other considerations in the space. The vanity soffit allows the vanity to drop back to the original wall maintaining floor space and clearances while also providing just enough additional height for a practical mirror. For further flexibility, we typically recommend a pivoting mirror.

We successfully introduced a bathroom to an unfinished basement, infusing it with distinct mid-century modern elements for a stylish upgrade.

We successfully transformed a compact unfinished attic by installing a bathroom. To optimize costs and avoid adding a dormer, we employed a creative solution: extending a soffit over the sink. This enabled us to mount a mirror flush against it, creating a practical and aesthetically pleasing setup.

This new detached garage was installed in Columbia Heights MN.

This custom cabinet was a notable feature in a downtown condo remodeling project we undertook in collaboration with a designer from James Dayton Design Studio. While we typically handle our own design work at Prima Construction, projects like this offer a refreshing change and a valuable learning experience. It's always enjoyable to join forces with external designers, broadening our creative perspectives.

Finished an unfinished basement, including these stairs

The homeowners were told the floor structure was sound to finish for living space. Due to the spans, the first-floor ceiling joists did not meet the requirements to be second-floor floor joists.

In order to provide a solid base for the new living space, we consulted our engineer. The existing 2x6 members spanned beyond the distance they could while still structurally supporting the new living space floor. We determined throughout most of the space we needed to add in (“sister”) 2 additional 2x6 joists between the existing joists.

Different basements call for different flooring choices - some opt for carpet, while others prefer Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). Here's an example of an unfinished basement we transformed by installing LVT and adding a warm, inviting fireplace to the design.

In this project, the client's request was simple but practical. They wanted us to install spray foam insulation and sheetrock in the attic, transforming it into a cleaner, dust-free storage space.

In a complete condo overhaul we performed in NE Minneapolis, we incorporated custom-built shelves and a fireplace, significantly enhancing the charm and functionality of the space.
