Redstone Interiors, with Werschay Homes, for their Stone Manor project in the New Build category!

Completed last year in Central Minnesota, every element in Stone Manor was curated to feel both grounded and elevated, and the final product is an inviting balance of artistry and function. Each space is unique, from the poetic play of textures in the powder rooms to the softened symmetry of the scullery and workspaces. Throughout the home, the palette is warm and organic, allowing raw materials and thoughtful detailing to do the storytelling. Custom stonework, hand-troweled walls, dramatic arched doorways, and bespoke cabinetry are just a few of the ways Stone Manor honors artisan skills.
