Summary

This week on the pod we are thrilled to snag a guest who’s designs we’ve been following for years! There’s nothing better than an email update from the famous Alma Homes where we get to see beautiful houses plus hear what the owner, Kirsten, is up to. We even learned about her recent 30A beach condo reno this way and just got back from staying in that perfect space!

Kirsten Erickson is the Owner of Alma Homes, a boutique design-build firm based out of Minneapolis, MN. She founded Alma in 2017 with the intent to create beautiful homes that are designed around the way her clients’ lived. We loved interviewing her to learn about this journey and the business she has built.

Ever since 8th grade, Kirsten knew she wanted to become an architect, but had no real life exposure or experience in the industry. So, she threw herself into the design world during college, graduating with a Masters of Architecture, an MBA, as well as minors in Housing Studies and Construction Management. When we say Kirsten wears all the hats, we mean Kirsten wears ALL. THE. HATS!

As a company, Alma Homes focuses on building high end custom homes and whole home remodels in the Twin Cities metro area. They also offer our interior design services nation-wide. They believe your home should be a reflection of your style and the way your family lives, and as such, focus on quality over quantity, and are thrilled to work with clients who end the build process feeling like family. Whether you know Alma Homes or this is your first introduction to them, you are in for a treat!
