Local interior designer Brian Ellingson served as demolition crew, architect, general contractor and landscape designer to transform his and his partner’s 1950’s one story rambler into a two story villa. They were committed to the home’s original footprint as well as re-using as much of the salvage as possible, including the original oak and pine floors. The transformation is quite remarkable. Visit Star Tribune to see more images and to read all about the project.
