A house designed by Minneapolis architect Julie Snow got national attention Friday when it was pictured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. The related story, headlined "Top Architects Go Local," rounded up what it called "new twists on regional architecture," with residential examples from Washington, Illinois, Arizona and Minnesota.

The starkly horizontal Snow house in Schroeder, Minn., was built in 2009 as a weekend getaway for Snow, her husband, Jack, and their three grown children. With glass walls and slender black steel columns, the house is sited on four acres and overlooks Lake Superior. It consists of two black cubes with a deck between.

Kim Palmer of the Star Tribune wrote about the house last summer. Story here.
