The Authentic House: Architecture Tailored to People and Place celebrates Minneapolis-based Rehkamp Larson Architect’s quarter century of work, focusing on 25 houses that embody the spirit and soul of people and place. The projects are organized by location, showing a range of houses settled into their unique landscapes from Midwestern lakes to ocean views and rolling prairie to urban neighborhoods: By the Water, On the Land, and In the City.
A guiding philosophy of Rehkamp Larson is that neither the style nor the function of a house is predetermined. Instead, the aesthetics and livability take shape with a creative, iterative process tailored to the homeowners and the land.
Timeless residential architecture balances durability, value, and beauty. It supports the functional parts of everyday life while providing a joyful refuge. Rehkamp Larson’s process revolves around creating spaces that resonate deeply with clients through attentive listening, creative thinking, and problem solving. The firm combines the art and science of architecture to create authentic solutions for a wide range of residential types including farmhouse, lake cottage, cabin in the woods, vineyard estate, beach retreat, and neighborhood home.
