Spring Creek Residence wins AIA MN Commendation for Excellence in Design for Economy
AIA Minnesota honored our Spring Creek Residence in Northfield, MN with a 2020 Commendation for Excellence in Design for Economy. From the jury:
“Located in a newly developed subdivision, this comparatively small, solar-powered, expectations-defying home is composed of the main house, a garage, and a private courtyard in between sheltered by a long entrance wall.
Lauded as a great model for future residential design by building only what is needed and will be used most on a daily basis, this project was recognized by the jury for its stark simplicity, beauty, pragmatic design, and the way it ‘quietly minds its own business’ in its new residential development.”
