CODY KUPITZ

FOUNDER, OWNER

In 2008 I began building custom homes in the western MN suburbs. In addition to my home building passion, I found I enjoyed the artistic qualities of woodworking and the creativity I could bring to my clients’ homes. I created SpaceTurtle Construction, to combine all my experience in renovations, additions, and new homes. I am excited to help you uncover the potential of your living-space.

MARIE BRENDEN

CO-OWNER, DESIGNER

Whether transforming a single room or an entire residence, my goal is to craft interiors that feel effortlessly beautiful and are built to last. As a seasoned designer I love creating homes that are both functional and timeless,, I specialize in designing spaces that seamlessly fit the way people live while enhancing the long-term value of their homes. I have a deep passion for working closely with clients, and take the time to understand their needs, ensuring every design is a perfect blend of practicality and elegance.

Mai See thao

DESIGNER

Growing up in a multi-generational home taught me the importance of thoughtful space planning and designing for aging in place. My designs are timeless yet functional, crafted through a collaborative approach that reflects each client’s unique taste and lifestyle. Design is all about transforming a space into a home. I view my clients and myself as a team, working together to turn visions into reality. My role as your Interior Designer isn’t to tell you what you should pick for your space, it’s to guide you in making decisions that you’ll love and cherish for many years to come.

HAYLI TOLLAGSON

DESIGNER

Ever since I was a young curly haired girl playing with my Barbies, creating homes out of humble cardboard boxes and using my little mind’s imagination and creativity to make a weary old box into a home; that’s when I knew I had a passion for Design. From a young age, I was intrigued by the power of design and the ability to use creativity that creates a sense of emotion and personality when walking into a space. I believe a good design sees the potential in any space. I have confidence that a successful design is one that truly reflects the personality of my clients; and that is my goal with each and every client of ours.

Proud Mom to Paisley, Ollie

LILAH BRENDEN

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

I provide all of the before and after photos for our projects. I spend time with our designers up front to make sure I have all the right angles to capture the transformation. While I like to be behind the lens I also bring my expertise in front of the camera when I stage your newly remodeled space. I love that we can share these images with our homeowners. It’s exciting to be part of each project because I can see the whole process from how things “used to be” to the big reveal!

BREY OSTOFF

FIELD OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR

I have always enjoyed working with my hands and letting my imagination create one of a kind masterpieces. In 2009, I graduated with a degree in Building Construction from Lake Superior College. From there, my career led me into both residential and commercial carpentry work consisting of single family homes, four hundred unit apartments, and even seventeen story high rise condos. Bringing my knowledge and experience acquired over the last 15 years, I would love to help make your building dreams a reality.
