Sarah and Ken met with the AMEK team several times, sharing their struggles and dreams for their home. The AMEK team listened, understanding the importance of these changes to Ken and Sarah’s daily life. Using a 3D camera, the team captured the home as it was providing measurements to be the launching pad for ideas.
Back Story
Working within the Minneapolis zoning restrictions for additions, the AMEK team presented Sarah and Ken with three creative concepts for both levels offering different solutions. In the midst of reviewing plans to pick out key elements, the couple found out they were pregnant – with twins! This news intensified the collaboration process to ensure that the final plan was perfectly tailored to their needs as a soon-to-be family of five.

The Transformation
The AMEK team worked meticulously to bring the plan to life. Walls were knocked down, a second-story addition and covered entrance were built, and slowly but surely, Ken and Sarah’s home was transformed.
When the remodel transformation was complete, Sarah and Ken were overjoyed. The open-concept kitchen with thoughtful design is a joy to cook in while watching the kids play, the new upstairs bathroom and laundry area make daily chores easier, and the dining room is perfect for family meals and entertaining.
