Our 2022 Year in Review

As we near the end of 2022, our team is reminiscing about the highlights of our year. This past year was filled with fantastic clients, new developments, incredible projects, and our favorite home tours.

Our Custom One team is thankful for our friends, families, health, and every client who supports us. Thank you for making 2022 another incredible year – we wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year!

If you’d like a recap of what we were up to this past year, scroll below for a brief overview!

 

Spring Parade of Homes

Our spring kicked off with the annual Twin Cities Spring Parade of Homes! Our team was thrilled to share three stunning parade homes and our up-and-coming Eagleview luxury villa community in Savage, MN. We loved connecting with visitors during the tour and hearing their feedback on our work! 

 

Stunning Home at The Royal Club

In March, we shared a glimpse inside this stunning home in our Royal Club community in Lake Elmo, Minnesota! We originally planned to feature this home during the Parade of Homes; however, those plans changed at the last minute when some lovely clients purchased it! 

 

Elegant Woodbury Renovation

At Custom One Renovation, we love helping clients reimagine their homes. When this Woodbury family reached out about giving their home a much-needed refresh, we were happy to help! We teamed up with Tim Johnson Architects and Interior Impressions to redesign the owner’s bedroom, ensuite, second bathroom, laundry room, and mudroom.

 

Best Builder for Six Years Running

In July, our team was grateful to be named Best Builder by Woodbury Magazine voters for the 6th year in a row. What an incredible honor! We’re still so thankful to every voter who chose us, our dear clients who support us, and our innovative team whose dedication makes our success possible. We love being a part of Woodbury and look forward to serving you for many years to come!

 

Fall Parade of Homes

In the autumn, we showcased three spectacular new homes during the Fall Parade of Homes. From a walk-out villa in Eden Prairie to a cozy Woodbury rambler to a luxury villa in Savage, each model was a unique offering designed with intentionality. As always, we enjoyed chatting about all things home-building with our lovely visitors!

 

New Neighborhoods

We pride ourselves on providing our clients access to some of the Twin Cities’ most beautiful neighborhoods in sought-after communities. This year we added an exclusive community of row homes on Long Lake and stunning lakeside acreages in Apple Valley to our offerings. Learn More about Aava Vetta and Lakeside of Diamond Path

 

Custom One Landscaping Lookbook

Landscaping may be the last element completed on most homes, but there’s no denying its magic! It’s the finishing touch that complements beautiful architecture. We love helping our clients design and create stunning outdoor spaces for playing together, enjoying nature, and making memories. 

 

Kitchens Fit for Holiday Hosting

From cooking meals to baking cookies and everything in between, the kitchen is command central during the holidays. It doesn’t matter if you’re planning, prepping, or hosting; everyone always seems to gravitate to the kitchen. After all, that is where all the delicious food is! 

 

Custom One Charities

2022 was another busy year for Custom One Charities! From partnering with local schools to supporting respected philanthropic organizations, we’re on a mission to build generosity and craft kindness. Over the summer, we had a blast hosting our annual golf tournament. In Feburary, we look forward to partying with a purpose with our friends at The Mix, our annual fundraising gala.

The holiday season is right around the corner! From cooking meals to baking cookies and everything in between, the kitchen is command central during November and December.

Custom One Landscaping: Inspiration Lookbook

Landscaping may be the last element completed on most homes, but there’s no denying its magic! It’s the finishing touch that complements beautiful architecture. We love helping our clients design and create stunning outdoor spaces for playing together, enjoying nature, and making memories.

As we settle into the coziness of fall, we’re pausing to reflect on a busy summer filled with beautiful projects! Our team loved working with a mix of incredible clients both old and new.

BEST OF WOODBURY 2022: BEST BUILDER SIX YEARS RUNNING!

Our team is grateful to announce that we have been named Best Builder by Woodbury Magazine voters for the 6th YEAR IN A ROW. What an incredible and thrilling honor!

Renovation Project: Multi-Room Remodel


Should we stay, or should we go? That’s the question this Minnesota family had to ask when they realized their home no longer served their needs. Staying in the popular Mahtomedi school district was important to them, but they knew a new construction home with all the features they wanted would require a significant investment. So, the homeowners reached out to the Custom One Renovation team to help them transform their existing home.

The family had two major goals for this project: to add the space they needed and to make the home more functional. The multi-room renovation included adding more livable space to the main level with a spacious three-season porch featuring a fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows. We also installed new countertops, a living room dry bar, and beautiful wood floors throughout the main level. The newly finished lower level adds additional living space with a bedroom, full bathroom, entertainment area, workout room, and ample storage. With an extra 1,256 square feet of livable space, this lovely family has plenty of room to grow and enjoy their home for years to come!
