The Pillsbury Castle Project Partners with NARI for Design Home 2024
Recently the Pillsbury Castle Project announced its partnership with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) - MN where local designers will showcase their best work throughout 20 rooms in the house. For the first time ever, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) of Minnesota and ASID - MN will partner together for Design Home 2024 (formerly Showcase House).
NARI is the only association dedicated solely to the remodeling industry for contractors, manufacturers, supply chain partners, and others supporting the industry. NARI’s core purpose is to advance and promote the remodeling industry through professionalism, programming, and education. NARI Members are committed to integrity, high standards, and a Code of Ethics. NARI of Minnesota is the second largest and one of the most progressive of over 30 chapters in the United States. We offer our members the advantage of affiliation with a proven remodeling authority, and we provide homeowners the convenience of knowing where to begin their search for an appropriate remodeling partner.
Owners Ryan Hanson and Matthew Trettel joined forces with NARI understanding that there was a place to leverage professional contractors and manufacturers. More than 20 rooms in the house will be remodeled by talented local remodelers over the next 10 months. They will be tasked with honoring the history of the home while adapting the spaces to a contemporary lifestyle.
NARI of Minnesota is ready to embark on this project, “The Pillsbury Castle Project is an excellent opportunity for the public to see the caliber and quality of craftsmanship of a NARI member,” says Will Haack, President for NARI of MN Board of Directors. “We are thrilled to be a part of this project and help the homeowners preserve this beautiful home and secure its place in the Minneapolis story.”
The Executive Director for NARI of MN, Beatrice Owen, echoes the excitement, “NARI of Minnesota is excited to participate as a collaborator on the Pillsbury Castle Project. Our members will bring professionalism and quality to ensure the legacy of the home continues for another 100 years.”
NARI of Minnesota is working closely with the owners to select a General Contractor for the project. They will also assist in sourcing top-tier subcontractors, builders, carpenters, and many other suppliers within their vast network. Follow us on Instagram for these updates coming soon!
Following the restoration, the home will open its doors to the community for a three-week period in 2024. During this time, history, remodeling, and restoration enthusiasts alike can tour the property with an in-depth look at the process as well as a deep dive into the Pillsbury Family. In 2025, the home will open again as a featured property in the MSP Home Tour sponsored by NARI.
