Having known each other since grade school, ELEA HEALY Co-founder Susi Strothman and the clients of this Edina townhouse project reconnected over social media in 2022. Their home was dreary and dated, having not seen an upgrade since it was built in the 1990s—but after seeing the firm’s work online, they recruited the ELEA HEALY team to transform the spaces for both style and functionality.
Inspired by the clients’ vision of an open floor plan with large gathering spaces, the team began by opening the kitchen to the dining and living areas. From there, both aesthetic and functional upgrades were introduced, changing the classic country kitchen into what is now a beautiful entertaining space. In the living room, a full-height, stone-clad fireplace captures immediate attention, while the Benjamin Bubble wallpaper in the powder room brings smiles to everyone’s faces. A lush palette of materials and custom details was also developed to draw the richness of the dark English oak flooring that connects the main level.
With its luminous interiors, communal kitchen, and spa-like bathrooms, this airy and bright townhouse now offers the homeowners both elevated experiences and daily delight.
