Edina Artisan Homes Where Legacy Meets Modern Living

Edina Artisan Homes

In Edina, thoughtful living is more than a phrase—it’s a lifestyle woven into every tree-lined street, classic neighborhood, and architecturally rich home. At Gordon James, we design Edina artisan homes that celebrate this legacy, while embracing the ease and elegance of contemporary living.

Whether you’re drawn to Morningside’s traditional charm or the wooded lots near Rolling Green, your Edina neighborhood values quality over trends and authenticity over flash. Our custom homes reflect these values by blending craftsmanship with personal expression—whether we’re designing a new build or reinventing an existing home to better fit your lifestyle.

Families often come to us during transitions: welcoming a new child, accommodating a multigenerational household, or finally building the dream home they’ve long envisioned. Each project begins with listening and evolves into a design that feels both personal and timeless

Our approach to Edina artisan homes centers on the way you truly live:

Kitchens that become natural gathering spaces for weeknight dinners, weekend brunches, and everything in between

Studies and home offices that support productivity while staying connected to the flow of family life

Master suites designed to provide a daily sense of retreat and quiet luxury

Built-in storage solutions that match your lifestyle and routines, from seasonal gear to everyday essentials

Custom millwork that adds depth and personality while complementing the home’s original charm

These spaces aren’t just beautiful—they’re built to serve your family’s pace, preferences, and purpose. From layout to lighting, every detail is considered with care.

Craftsmanship That Honors Your Vision

Building a custom home in Edina means more than just putting up walls and selecting finishes. It’s about creating a lasting legacy—one that reflects both the traditions of your neighborhood and the personal style that makes your home unmistakably yours.

At Gordon James, we’ve built our reputation on this thoughtful approach. Our design-build process is rooted in partnership, beginning with genuine conversations about how your family moves through each day. What moments matter most? Where do you gather? What spaces feel limiting? From these insights, we craft designs that support and enhance your life.

Here’s what sets our process apart:

  • Comprehensive planning that considers your home’s natural light, privacy needs, and flow across seasons
  • Traffic patterns designed for ease, whether you’re entertaining, relaxing, or managing a busy weekday routine
  • Architectural details that honor your taste, neighborhood, and family heritage
  • Materials chosen not just for aesthetics, but for how they’ll age gracefully with your home
  • Clear communication from start to finish, with a team that respects your time and investment

In Edina, where homes are more than just structures—they’re statements of legacy and lifestyle—your custom build should rise to meet both. Gordon James is here to make sure it does.
