RALPH RAPSON
Masterpiece
Ralph Rapson, the most influential Minnesota architect of the twentieth century, was the
architect on this spectacular renovation in Edina’s exclusive Rolling Green Neighborhood.
Rapson’s signature style is seen throughout the house. Every design element considered how natural light would complement the space. Italian Bottocino classico marble gracing the floor throughout the main level. Complemented by the warmth of the espresso wood on the floating staircase and the upper floor. A water wall upon entry complements the 14-foot fireplace. Feel the serenity by walking through the art gallery on the upper floors with glass railings as seen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; reading by the fireplace in the library or entertaining in the kitchen designed by Paulo Pinafarina, designer of the Ferrari.
The peace of the clear redwood rooftop terraces. The energy of the sculpture garden with a black bottom concrete swimming pool in the front courtyard. Truly stunning.
The house is lined with glass and filled with light. A perfect Dehli Development production.
