It’s that time of year again where we indulge you, dear readers, in our semiannual homes edition. This issue explores the concepts of tradition and modernity. We highlight tradition with a look at a new commendable city initiative, the Century Homes project, celebrating the endurance of time. It honors 100-year-old homes with a special commemorative plaque.
On the other side of the coin, we have the latest in modern decorating trends with insights from City Homes and Ellington & Co. Design. Minimalism is slowly being pushed out in favor of bold designs.
But what happens when tradition and modernity meet? Look no further than our featured home by w.b. builders. This house gracefully dances on the tightrope between modern and traditional aesthetics, crafting an environment that is as dynamic as it is timeless.
Which brings us to our timely subject of this edition—April marks Autism Awareness Month. This issue looks at several programs in Edina that bring a sense of community, friendship and joy, including the Edina Unified program. Most of these programs are also for children and adults with any type of invisible and visible disabilities.
All neurotypes are beautiful. Society is a mosaic of life in all its forms, and it grows in its wonder when we take a step back and admire the whole picture. When we are aware of one another, we not only accept, but we understand who we are—human.
