In the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, a community filled with historic homes and bungalows built in the 1920s, stands a recently constructed “modern” home. To say it sticks out like a sore thumb is pointless, but it is not so obnoxious that I hate it. In fact, the warm colors and use of wood take away some of the edge found on many homes with the modern style.

Located at 4221 Ewing Ave S in Minneapolis, the original 700 square foot home that graced the lot was torn down and replaced with a pre-fabricated modular building designed by architect Geoffrey Warner. It is comprised of four sections that were made at a factory, shipped to the homesite, and placed atop a concrete foundation.
