Architects, homeowners and design enthusiasts talked about remodeling, building and trends on Tuesday at “Your Home, Your Way,” sponsored by the American Institute of Architects Minnesota and the Star Tribune. Home of the Month winners also were recognized. In addition to answering questions, architects and designers offered consultations. The annual event was held at the American Swedish Institute in the 20th-century Turnblad Mansion — the perfect spot to celebrate architecture of the 21st century.
