As ?????????? ???????? ???????? ???????????????? writer Rachel Scheuhle highlights: The Scandinavian Revivalist Movement is here—but what exactly is it? Our co-founders, Kasey Lyng Johnson, CID and Regan Nix, along with builder Dan Carlson of D.T.

The Scandi Revival is more than a trend—it’s a philosophy centered on conscious living, holistic design, and high-quality architecture, whether you're remodeling or building from the ground up. “It’s never about the size of the home but the quality,” Regan tells ?????????? ???????? ???????? ????????????????. Carlson adds, “It starts with an awareness of our footprint and what we are leaving behind for future generations.” Curious to learn more about this movement?
