A Celebration of Design, Craftsmanship, and Trust
We’re honored to share that New Spaces has received a Remodeler of Merit (ROMA) Award at the Housing First Minnesota BIG Night Gala—the state’s premier gathering of builders and remodelers. This recognition celebrates the best in design, craftsmanship, and innovation across the Twin Cities, and we couldn’t be more proud of The New Spaces Team, Client, and trade partners that made it possible.
About the Award-Winning Project This year’s ROMA Award honors one of our standout design-build projects: a 1950s St. Paul rambler kitchen, main floor, mudroom, and bathroom remodel led by designer Jayme Lennon and Homeowner Advisor Jennifer McClellan. The homeowner loved their mid-century home and the charm of their neighborhood, but the kitchen was dark, closed off, and no longer suited to their lifestyle.Through New Spaces’ signature design-first, no-surprises process, our team reimagined the home’s main level. We opened the kitchen to create a seamless flow into adjacent dining room, and incorporated contemporary semi-custom cabinetry and quartz countertops for a fresh, timeless look. The transformation turned a confined, outdated space into a bright, functional gathering place that blends colorful features with modern performance.
Why It Matters Awards like the ROMA are about more than beautiful finishes—they recognize trust, collaboration, and the ability to deliver on a vision. At New Spaces, that vision always begins with transparency, planning, and collaboration. Every project starts with an in-depth design consultation, aligning expectations, budget, and style before construction begins. That clarity, combined with a dedicated in-house team of designers, carpenters, and homeowner advisors, ensures that every remodel is completed on time, on budget, and with care.This award is also a testament to our clients, who invite us into their homes and trust us to bring their dreams to life. Their collaboration is at the heart of every success story we share.
The ROMA Awards and BIG Night Hosted annually by Housing First Minnesota, the Remodeler of Merit Awards spotlight remodelers whose work demonstrates exceptional design, quality, and homeowner satisfaction. The 2025 BIG Night, held at Mystic Lake Casino, brought together hundreds of professionals from Minnesota’s homebuilding and remodeling community. It was an inspiring evening celebrating creativity, excellence, and the relationships that strengthen our industry.
