Two Shelter homes on 2023 AIA-MN Homes by Architects Tour

Lakeside Retreat & Flower Valley Homestead on 2023 AIA-MN Homes by Architects Tour

We are thrilled to announce that two Shelter designed homes will be featured in the 2023 Homes by Architects Tour! We are honored to have been chosen. Each year, the AIA MN Homes by Architects Tour invites visitors to experience architect-designed residences here in Minnesota. The two Shelter designed homes selected for the tour will be available to view virtually September 23-October 8th, 2023.

Both of these residences are new constructions, and each aptly named for their stunning surroundings: Lakeside Retreat and Flower Valley Homestead. We are so appreciative to our wonderful clients for generously sharing their homes as part of the tour.
