The Founders Residence - Wayzata, MN
At The Founders Residence, Revision reimagined a traditional American home with a deep respect for its character and a clear vision for how it should live today. The transformation centered on opening the interiors, allowing natural light to move freely and creating a stronger sense of connection between spaces. While the exterior maintains its timeless symmetry and shuttered façade, inside the home now feels lighter, warmer, and more fluid, honoring its roots while embracing a renewed sense of ease.
Natural materials guide the atmosphere throughout. Oak beams introduce quiet architectural rhythm overhead, while layered whites, honed stone, and warm walnut bring depth without excess. The kitchen, anchored by a substantial island and tailored millwork, serves as both gathering place and focal point, refined yet welcoming. Through thoughtful intervention and careful craftsmanship, Revision elevated the home into a residence that feels settled, authentic, and built to carry forward for generations.
Tradition, Renewed.
The Founders Residence was reconceived as a modern interpretation of the American ideal, symmetrical, grounded, and unapologetically timeless. From its balanced façade and shuttered windows to the quiet authority of its central entry, the architecture now honors classical proportions while embracing a softer, more livable expression of tradition. Inside, warm oak beams stretch across light-filled ceilings, anchoring the home in natural texture and authenticity. A refined palette of layered whites, honed stone, and tailored millwork creates an atmosphere that feels both established and fresh, a home that feels as though it has always belonged.
Throughout the transformation, Revision approached the remodel not as a cosmetic update, but as a thoughtful reinvention. Structural adjustments allowed for greater flow and connection, while carefully curated materials elevated the home’s character without erasing its roots. The kitchen, anchored by a sculptural walnut island and polished brass accents, balances utility with quiet elegance, and the great room’s fireplace and exposed beams establish a natural gathering point rooted in warmth and permanence. The result is a residence reshaped with intention, composed rather than decorated, renewed yet enduring.
