Pillsbury A-Mill Historic Building at Sunset, Minneapolis
June 2019
—
The Pillsbury A-Mill is a former flour mill located on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It held the distinction of being the world's largest flour mill for 40 years. Completed in 1881, it was owned by the Pillsbury Company and operated two of the most powerful direct-drive waterwheels ever built, each capable of generating 1,200 horsepower (895 kW). The mill was named a National Historic Landmark in 1966 and has since been converted into resident artist lofts.

U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis, photographed under a clear night sky, showcases its striking angular design illuminated by the city’s glow. 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.

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.

The historic Minneapolis Main Post Office features these brass-framed service windows, emblematic of the city’s 1930s Art Deco architecture. 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.

Downtown Minneapolis Reflections
March 2019
—
Illuminated office and residential towers rise over downtown Minneapolis after dark, their façade lighting and interior floors forming a dense urban grid against a winter sky. The blue-accented crowns and vertical light bands highlight the city’s mix of late-20th-century corporate towers and newer high-rise residential development that has reshaped the downtown core since the 2000s. In the foreground, a still water feature mirrors the skyline, emphasizing the geometry and lighting strategies used to distinguish individual buildings within a tightly packed central business district. This area reflects Minneapolis’s broader downtown reinvestment, where office, residential, and public infrastructure coexist within a walkable, transit-served core.

Hennepin County Government Center, construction was completed in 1977.
While often looked at as a single building, it’s actually 2 different towers with glass in between them. When viewed from the northeast or southeast(such as this photo), the building gives the appearance of the letter H for Hennepin. The towers are accessible from each other via catwalks on each floor. Glass walls were added after multiple suicides.

US Bank Stadium Steel Frame Construction, Minneapolis
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.
