Strand Design in collaboration with Str8 Modern, has completed the remodel of a mid-century modern home in Golden Valley, Minnesota.

The black and wood exterior of the home stands out against the expansive yard and mature trees. A small bridge off the driveway connects to the front door.

Stepping inside, we see there’s a formal living room with a sofa and a pair of armchairs. Floor to ceiling windows fill the room with natural light and provide a view of the street.

Tucked away behind a door between the dining room and kitchen is one of the bedrooms. A wood headboard with built-in side tables adds a natural element and complements the floating wood shelf on the opposite wall.

A skylight by the front door filters natural light through to the staircase that leads to the lower level of the home. The black handrails have been designed to match the black window frames and beams.
