Margaret Park is an urban park in St Paul, Minnesota. I was asked by the City of St Paul Parks and Recreation to participate in community meetings to help redevelop the park which needed some enhancements. Below is a video of my final walk through of a small toilet room building we designed.

Here is just a quick video of our house getting painted. It’s looking good and probably long overdue!

We are under construction! The bulk of the demolition is complete and the framing of the updated facility is underway. Here is a little video of the progress.

Here is an update of a residential master plan we are working on. We generated a number of options – both interior and exterior. Since the work is going to be phased, we need to create a design that can be implemented in pieces. Take a look!

This is kind of an unusual project for us. It is a small utility building but we were brought on board because they needed it to have a ‘park-like’ aesthetic. The building is on park property in a residential area so a standard metal building wouldn’t be acceptable. Here is quick video of a recent site visit.

New project! The client purchased a home that needs a little love… The location is stunning – overlooking the St Croix River. Being on the river, there are a number of agencies that will be overseeing the remodeling process and outcome. We will begin by developing an overall master plan that will illustrate the ultimate transformation for the approval from these agencies. The client will then phase the construction over time as budget allows. We began by documenting the existing to give us base drawings to work from. Should be fun!

The process continues! We start to refine the floor plans and begin looking at the exterior and interior concepts.
And, I thought I looked good in anything but I was reprimanded by my wife for wearing an old sweatshirt and mismatched teal t-shirt. I guess I should be grateful that she actually still looks at me!

Hey everyone! I wanted to fill you in on a new residential project we have on the boards. The Clients are looking for a simple, modern home with a fairly defined program. We need to work within their budget (obviously) and be efficient in terms of design and square footage. The property is wooded and rolling – beautiful! The video shows the start of this project and was filmed early on a Saturday morning as you can tell I am not quite awake! Oh well…

We are working on the modernization of a transit facility in South Dakota. I thought I would share a little bit about the project and will keep you posted on the progress. Thanks for watching!

Some friends of ours asked if we could come up with a concept to finish off their lower level. Its primary purpose would be for overflow entertaining and a place where the kids could hang out. We came up with some ideas and some basic drawings and they took it from there. I wanted to drop in and see how it turned out. Take a look!

I finally got the opportunity to visit and photograph the completed project. You can scroll back through the archives to see this project develop from design through construction.

I was able to take a little time off this summer – nice! And we are fortunate to be very busy as well. Thus the delay in keeping you guys updated on what’s happening around here!
