The Crystal Lake Kitchen Renovation in Robbinsdale, MN was a full design-build transformation. Feller Contracting set out to reimagine an entire home, turning a neglected property into a modern, entertainment-ready retreat centered around stunning lake views. A key component of this renovation was the complete redesign of the kitchen, opening it to the dining area and surrounding living spaces to maximize natural light, flow, and connection to Crystal Lake.
The original kitchen was small, closed off, and tucked into a corner of the home, disconnected from both the dining area and the lake views just beyond the walls. Years of wear, outdated finishes, shag carpeting, and heavy wallpaper made the space feel dark, cluttered, and underutilized.
The home lacked any sense of openness or connection to its most valuable feature — the lakefront setting.
This project required a full design-build approach. The goal was to create an open-concept kitchen and dining area that showcased the lake views while blending modern design with subtle mid-century character.
Working closely with a structural engineer, Feller Contracting developed a plan to remove and replace multiple walls with properly sized structural beams. This allowed the kitchen, dining, and living areas to flow seamlessly together without compromising the integrity of the home.
Key priorities included:
The completed kitchen renovation transformed the home into an entertainer’s dream. Structural beams replaced outdated walls, opening the space and placing the lakefront views at the center of the design.
The kitchen features:
Uniform flooring and large windows created a bright, cohesive space that feels open, airy, and connected to the outdoors.
The result is a modern open-concept kitchen and living space that fully embraces the home’s location on Crystal Lake — transforming the property into a true lakefront retreat.
This renovation required complex structural modifications, careful planning, and expert execution. The finished space now serves as the heart of the home — ideal for entertaining, everyday living, and enjoying uninterrupted lake views.
This project highlights Feller Contracting’s expertise in full design-build renovations, structural remodeling, and high-end kitchen transformations.
This kitchen renovation was part of a complete whole-home remodel. The entire house was gutted and refinished, including a full primary bathroom renovation.
