In Minneapolis’ Tangletown neighborhood, a 1912 home underwent a multiphase transformation led by Two Island Design Build Founder and Principal Donella Olson. She first met the homeowners six years prior, and when the time was finally right, they entrusted her and the Two Island team to reimagine their home with the vibrant color and sense of luxury they love.
The renovation focused on two key spaces: the lower level and the primary bathroom. The basement was completely overhauled with in-floor hydronic heat, relocated mechanical systems, and the addition of a bathroom and laundry area. Upstairs, the expanded primary bathroom—featuring a two-person steam shower, air bubble soaking tub, bidet toilet, and double vanity—was designed with luxury in mind.
Now complete, the project is a flawless example of Two Island’s curated, concierge-
style approach—crafting personalized spaces that thoughtfully reflect the home-owners’ unique personalities and lifestyles.
