The bold and new Health Science Education Center at UM's West Campus in Minneapolis was the first shoot where we covered both pre and post Covid student scenarios, with takes for masked and spaced students, as well as those in a normal, past world. Great efforts by builder JE Dunn and architect Perkins + Will MSP!
MSR Design's new digs are situated in the late mid-century 510 Marquette Blgd in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. After a complete gut, the single story office space encompasses flexible meeting rooms, teaming areas, charette and work spaces, and has been fully reconfigured for a post-Covid capacity. And bonus, they achieved LEED Platinum in their redesign for use of salvaged spaces and materials.
Another new Hewitt work, the Luna combined flagship PCC retail stores at its base in a series of 5 interconnected residential building units sitting atop a single base, and connected by outdoor corridors, balconies and perforated with planted breezeways to maximize airflow and park views to the east and mountain and ocean views to the west. Very European vibe!
In collaboration with Leicht Seattle and YS Built, Lara photographed the sublime renovation of the kitchen from a 1930's art deco apartment of a design minded couple with an endless collection of monochromatic antiques, and a slinky black cat too!
Designed by David Coleman Architecture, the Field House sits nestled on a 10-acre site in a rural equestrian community in the Cascade foothills. Beautiful minimalism and strongly angled proportions, windows, and an inner aquarium like planting space are all custom fit for the retired engineer bachelor who resides there.
