Build a two-story house in just five days inside a giant hall. That was the task at hand for Viebrock Construction as they tackled the annual Idea Home for this year's Minneapolis Home + Garden Show. The home will be the centerpiece of the show, which takes place February 25 - March 1 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

The 2015 Idea Home theme is Active Living, appealing to today's dynamic lifestyles that require more room and plenty of flexibility. This is the second year Viebrock Construction has built the Idea Home and it's been a terrific situation for them to display their talents, get creative with materials, and mesh it together with unique designs.


Situated on an angle of a 4,800 square-foot lot, the finished home will be nearly 1,400 finished square-feet. The exterior will feature steel seam roofing for greater longevity, fewer seams, and a sleek style. The home's siding looks like natural wood but actually has a longer life, allowing for better durability.

Inside the home you will discover an open floor plan, featuring a living and dining room with a luxury vinyl floor that appears to be finely weathered oak. Don't miss the dining table, crafted from Douglas Fir that was reclaimed from an old barn, and the accompanying chairs are covered in removable upholstery, making them a cinch to clean. HOM Furniture provided the furniture and collaborated on the design concept.

The Idea Home's landscape designers, The Garden By The Woods, have been very busy as well, creating one-of-a-kind landscapes to complement this year's Idea Home. You'll find pivoting garden walls, a private sitting area, and a neighborhood gathering space. Not to be missed is the way-cool meditation area, as well as the courtyard that transitions to a sports court!

Viebrock Construction is based in Osceola, Wisc. and has been designing and building homes in Wisconsin and Minnesota for over 56 years. For more information check out their website or call 715-294-2188.

An estimated 70,000 people are expected to walk through this year's Idea Home during the five-day show. Make sure you're one of them! Buy tickets early to avoid box office lines and get the best deal - right now you can get 2-for-1 tickets on Facebook!

Build a two-story house in just five days inside a giant hall. That was the task at hand for Viebrock Construction as they constructed the annual “Idea Home” for the 2014 Minneapolis Home + Garden Show. The home will be the centerpiece of the Show to be held Feb. 26 – March 2 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

"An estimated 70,000 people are expected to walk through this year’s Idea Home during the five-day Show."


“This year’s Idea Home theme, ‘Rustic Luxury,’ has been an element of design for us on several homes over the past decade,” says owner Tom Leiskau of Viebrock Construction. “We are excited to display our talents and creative material usage with our unique designs.”

Situated on an angle of a 4,800-square-foot lot, the finished home will be nearly 1,700 finished square feet. It will feature several renewable resources as well as engineered and reclaimed products. Highlights of the eat-in kitchen include luxurious custom-built cabinetry and solid surface heated countertops. A cozy stone fireplace with a mantel made of reclaimed timber is the attention-grabber of the living room. A salvaged barn door slides open to the master bedroom.

The Idea Home’s landscape designers, The Garden By The Woods, created an outdoor kitchen sitting area using a metal-domed pergola. A freestanding hydroponic wall garden will provide privacy as well as tasty veggies!

Once completed, the house will be fully-furnished by HOM Furniture who designed the interior to keep with the “Rustic Luxury” theme.

Viebrock Construction is the first Wisconsin-based company in the past five years to build the Minneapolis Home + Garden Show’s Idea Home. Based in Osceola, Wisc., Viebrock Construction has been designing and building homes in Wisconsin and Minnesota for over 56 years. For more information, visit www.viebrockconstruction.com or call 715-294-2188.
