Nor-Son Custom Builders Renovate a Classic Charles Stinson Marvel — Artful Living

Charles Stinson Designs a Sonoran Desert Midcentury Beauty — Artful Living
"In the Sonoran Desert, architecture becomes more than just design; it becomes a conversation with the elements. For architect Charles Stinson, this environment isn’t a challenge to conquer but a partner to embrace."
—ARTFUL LIVING
Read how we embrace the unique challenges of home design in the heat of the desert for our project PINNACLE MODERN in the latest issue of Artful Living.
Winter Park Modern featured in Artful Living
“The artful composition of vertical and horizontal planes is Charles Stinson’s calling card. But the award-winning architect’s latest project also takes a different shape: a full circle. When a Florida couple tapped him to design their home in historic Winter Park, Stinson was eager to revisit some history for himself. ‘I started my career in Florida,’ he says, which may be a surprise since he’s so prominently known for his work along the water in Minnesota.”
Read more about the design process and see more photos of our Florida project WINTER PARK MODERN in Artful Living.
Winter Park Modern featured in Florida Design
“The first time Charles visited the site, within minutes, he had climbed up on the second-story roof of the existing home to get a sense for sightlines,” notes the owner. “We could immediately see an artist at work—his mind already spinning with concepts to incorporate the home into the surroundings and take advantage of its unique location.”

Spring Lake Modern in the latest issue of Midwest Home
"As you walk through the house from one end to the other, you see water the entire way, even though you’re going around angles and corners."
—CHARLES R. STINSON
Read about our latest project SPRING LAKE MODERN in the new issues of Midwest Home or Michigan Blue Magazine.

Interview: Architectural Hand Drawing is a Timeless Art
“I love to draw. I’m addicted to it,” he says. “It brings the project to life. Tracing paper, colored pencils, and ink are such incredible tools.” Read Charles’ interview with Midwest Home about the art of his hand drawn architectural designs.
Coursey Graves Featured in Artful Living
“Impressionist painters, like Monet, focused on the light and color of the outdoors to capture its variations throughout the day; Stinson’s architectural approach does the same.” Read the feature from Artful Living on the COURSEY GRAVES project—a 40-acre winery and residence situated in the breathtaking hills of Sonoma County, California.
City Lifestyle Feature: Exploring Charles Stinson’s architectural artistry on Lake Minnetonka
“Acclaimed architect Charles Stinson has designed projects all over the country and abroad, yet Minnesota remains close to his heart, especially with his roots growing up in Red Wing, MN. ‘There is something about the whole culture here. I love the variety of the seasons. All of it. The snow, the rain, the longer days and shorter days. I even enjoy the cloudy days. People just feel more connected to nature here. I’ve seen and lived in other places, but they don’t hold me like Minnesota does.’”
