A grandmother wanted to be closer to her grandchildren, so she built a house in south Minneapolis right across the street from them. She wanted a small footprint that kept aging in place — and play spaces for the grandkids — in mind. The result is an energy-efficient house that also gives a nod to the homeowner’s Swedish heritage with a red exterior, decorative railings, richly stained woods and a blue tile fireplace surround. Meanwhile, a skylit loft serves as a playroom for the grandkids in this modern take on traditional Scandinavian design.
