Modern Oak reflects Stonewood’s approach to building, where contemporary design is grounded in warmth, materiality, and a strong connection to place. Based in Wayzata, Minnesota, we designed this custom home to balance clean architectural expression with a more natural, inviting character.
Defined by clear lines and a timeless presence, the home is shaped by light and its relationship to the surrounding landscape. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in, creating a sense of openness while maintaining a feeling of comfort and scale.
The main living areas are open and cohesive, with a natural flow between kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen anchors the home with a refined, functional presence, supporting both everyday routines and gathering.
Rich wood tones and carefully selected finishes introduce depth and texture, softening the modern architecture and creating a more livable environment. Private spaces are designed as quiet retreats, focused on comfort and proportion. Seamless transitions to the outdoors extend the living experience, resulting in a home that feels balanced, enduring, and connected to its setting.
