FOR HOMES WORTH KEEPING
Joy Design Collective is a boutique, woman-owned residential design studio in Linden Hills, Minneapolis, specializing in whole-home renovations, substantial additions, custom new homes, lot curation and interiors.
HOW WE WORK
Old houses, honest materials, good light. We design the whole thing — structure, plan, and interiors — with people we trust.
STUDIES IN THE MAKING.
OLD HOMES. ENDURING MATERIALS.
Worth keeping.
Worth reimagining.
Old-growth lumber. Beautifully proportioned windows. Millwork shaped by a craftsperson’s hand. We see the value in what is already there.
Our approach begins with understanding what gives a house its character, then exploring what it can become. A more generous entrance. An addition that belongs. A renewed exterior with a stronger sense of arrival. Rooms that connect naturally and support the way you want to live.
We bring the exterior, floor plan, and interiors into one considered vision. Our work moves between drawings, material decisions, and conversations on site, in close collaboration with builders, craftspeople, and technical specialists.
HOW A HOME FEELS
The best part comes when you move in.
Boxes half unpacked, the dogs claiming their spots, light coming through the curtains. A home is finished when it starts to hold your life, and that’s the moment we design toward.
THE TEAM
Individual perspectives. A collective vision.
Intentionally small. Same people, start to finish.
