[House #1 of Tour]Story by Jon Bennett Photography by Dan Francis Photography  If you’re like me, you love driving down historic South 8th Street under a canopy of trees admiring how unique each home is. This month we start out by inviting you inside a 1939 Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home that was built with only three materials - brick, stucco, and wood.
The midcentury modern style in homes seems to be as popular now as it was when this stunning form of architecture first came to light. “Midcentury modern” refers to the simplistic and calming style found within the homes built between the end of World War II (1945) and the mid-1970s. In addition to Americans wanting more of an open-concept in their homes, they loved the idea of single-level living on larger plots of lands and the feel of space. For those who were fortunate enough to grow up in one of these homes and are now reaching adulthood, the nostalgia of a simpler way of life has helped raise the demand.  [Luxury Townhomes by Designer Homes]Story by Susan Hozak Photography by Dan Francis Photography  Back in Jan 2020, we introduced you to unique townhomes under development in South Fargo. Providence at Prairie Farms is located just east of I-94 and south of 52nd Avenue, which provides lots of open spaces with plenty of trees and walking paths. This month, we are excited to unveil the finished product to you! With a gourmet kitchen, beautiful vaulted ceilings featuring custom wood beams, expansive windows, and warm, rich tones throughout the design, you'll be turning these pages in awe.
[Radiant Homes + Strom Architecture]Story by Tracy Nicholson Photography by Jill Ockhardt Blaufuss  In their seven years of marriage, Alissa and Nick Adams have taken their lives cross-country. While Alissa has been working remotely for West Acres Development, where she currently serves as COO, Nick was following his training in the field of plastic surgery. After spending six years in Michigan, then another year in Arizona, the couple, along with their two young daughters and French mastiff, were ready to move back home to Fargo, family and friends. With near-perfect timing, they contacted Strom Architecture, who was in the midst of designing a model home for Radiant Homes. Located in Rocking Horse Farm, the rambler-style home was in the early stages, but still able to be customized. Collaborating via Zoom from their home in Arizona, the team, including Brandi Youngmark Interior Design, was able to accommodate the Adams' passion for art and Mid-century modern musings.

[Inside the new Tellwell, Downtown Fargo]Story by Katie Beedy Photography by M.Schleif Photography  There is something about a campfire that inspires the best stories. Ancient civilizations congregated around open flames not just to cook their food, but to unleash their imaginations and pass on their histories. At summer camps, exchanging nightmare-inducing ghost stories over the campfire is considered a rite of passage. Maybe it’s the cover of darkness, the communal act of gathering twigs for kindling, or the hypnotizing dance of the flame itself—whatever the explanation, it’s undeniable that the most tantalizing tales emerge when we gather around a fire. If you're on the hunt for the ultimate storytellers in campfire-inspired culture, look no further than Tellwell's marketing agency in their new location at 1213 NP Avenue in Downtown Fargo.
