Designed and Built by keep

Longfellow Neighborhood, Minneapolis MN

This is our family home, passion project, and keep LLC’s headquarters.

In April of 2022, we quit our previous jobs, our daughter was due in 4 months, we founded keep LLC, and we closed on this fixer-upper.

This was a serious DIY project that touched almost every single inch of this tiny 675 SF alley house. Details are of unfinished aspen, existing floors were sanded, and all living room built-ins were custom fabricated from sanded ACX plywood. We hired out electrical, plumbing, and tilework and otherwise were entirely hands-on: a true labor of love.
