As an award-winning luxury home builder, David Bieker of Denali Custom Homes, Inc. knows how to build homes to best fit into their environments, whether that environment is a sprawling expanse of land, a lakefront property, or—in this case—a narrow corner lot backing up to an association-maintained green space in the Portico neighborhood of Wayzata. With three small children, the homeowners were drawn to the family-friendly neighborhood and the large open park space behind the home, serving as the neighborhood playground. Their dream home is everything they wanted: beautiful custom details, free-flowing indoor spaces, and a highly functional—and nontraditional—layout, making the most of the useable space.
