Crafting Beautiful, Functional, and Sustainable Spaces

Our design philosophy is rooted in the belief that architecture should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also functionally efficient and environmentally responsible. We strive to create spaces that are beautiful, durable, and adaptable to the evolving needs of our clients and the communities they serve. Our commitment to sustainability is not merely a trend but a deeply held value that permeates every aspect of our work.

From utilizing sustainable building materials to incorporating energy-efficient design features, we seek to minimize our environmental impact while maximizing the well-being of the people who use our spaces.

A Passion for Preserving History

We recognize the irreplaceable value of these architectural landmarks and are dedicated to preserving them for generations to come. Since 1970, we have worked tirelessly to protect and revive hundreds of significant historical resources, employing our expertise in restoration, preservation, and adaptive reuse.

We believe that historic buildings hold invaluable stories and character, and we strive to integrate these elements thoughtfully into our design solutions, ensuring that the past and present coexist harmoniously.

Case Study: MSP Airport - Silver Ramp Transit Center

The MSP Silver Ramp and Transit Center, a mixed-use, multimodal transportation hub located within the heart of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport's Terminal 1 campus, is a testament to our commitment to creating impactful and sustainable infrastructure. This project, awarded the 2021 AIA Minneapolis Chapter Merit Award, is the culmination of a multi-year effort to repurpose and optimize real estate within the airport's land-locked center. The Silver Ramp replaces outdated car rental and transit facilities, addressing the growing need for parking and efficient transportation connections.
