Opened in 2016 and designed by HKS Architects, the venue serves as the home of the Minnesota Vikings and a premier multi-purpose arena for concerts, major sporting events, and conventions. Its faceted steel and glass shell evokes the prow of a Viking ship, a nod to the team’s heritage, while its translucent ETFE roof allows natural light by day and reflects ambient light by night. This structure replaced the collapsed Metrodome and now anchors the eastern edge of the Minneapolis skyline as one of the most distinctive modern stadiums in the United States.

Completed in 1933 as part of a federal building initiative, the structure was designed by architect Léon Eugene Arnal of Magney & Tusler and remains one of the finest Depression-era public works in the Upper Midwest. The marble-clad lobby and geometric metal detailing reflect the influence of the Works Progress Administration’s design aesthetic—modern yet monumental—built to symbolize reliability and civic pride during a period of national recovery.
May 2019 — An interior lounge and corridor at Target Corporation’s headquarters in Minneapolis, designed to encourage informal meetings, employee collaboration, and visitor reception. The space reflects Target’s post-2010 modern workplace philosophy — blending minimalist corporate architecture with hospitality-inspired interiors. Curved ceiling soffits, accent lighting, and red brand-themed wall panels soften the otherwise sleek office environment, while modular seating and large communal tables support group discussions and mobile work. This type of open, flexible workspace became increasingly common in large corporate campuses in the 2010s, as U.S. companies shifted away from traditional cubicle layouts toward collaborative, design-driven environments influenced by retail and tech sectors. The Target brand’s signature red is subtly integrated throughout, reinforcing corporate identity within the workspace’s architecture.

July 2015 — U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings, began construction in December 2013 on the site of the former Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. The stadium’s steel skeleton, seen here during its mid-construction phase, showcases the dramatic angular geometry that defines its final form — a nod to both Nordic shipbuilding and Minnesota’s icy winter landscapes. The project, designed by HKS Architects and constructed by Mortenson, features over 19,000 tons of structural steel and spans 1.75 million square feet. Its transparent ETFE roof panels and vast steel trusses were among the most complex structural assemblies ever attempted in a U.S. stadium build. Completed in 2016, the $1.1 billion stadium remains one of the most technically ambitious indoor venues in North America, notable for its fixed-roof design, massive glass curtain walls, and precision-engineered support cranes like the red lattice boom seen here — used to hoist the roof trusses into place during overnight construction sessions.
