SGA designed this 140,000 sq ft building, completed in 2015, to provide 150 residential units, 6,000 sq ft of retail space, and parking. The building is comprised of four levels and a penthouse with a roof garden, and two levels of below-grade parking. The building was designed with environmentally friendly principles in mind in the interest of reducing its impact on the community. A green roof system reduces the heat effect on the neighborhood as well as the impact on the storm water sewer system, while increasing the building’s energy efficiency.

The main goals of this project was to make it more usable and enjoyable for the owner, to reduce maintenance and to created a covered area for enjoyment year-round. This design also kept the family's new puppy in mind - fencing it in for safety and planting with careful consideration of plants that are safe for dogs. The winding pathway for humans is reminiscent of a stream bed and there is also a narrow perimeter fence specifically for the pup!

A cabin in Western Wisconsin is transformed from within to become a serene and modern retreat. In a past life, this cabin was a fishing cottage which was part of a resort built in the 1920’s on a small lake not far from the Twin Cities. The cabin has had multiple additions over the years so improving flow to the outdoor space, creating a family friendly kitchen, and relocating a bigger master bedroom on the lake side were priorities. The solution was to bring the kitchen from the back of the cabin up to the front, reduce the size of an overly large bedroom in the back in order to create a more generous front entry way/mudroom adjacent to the kitchen, and add a fireplace in the center of the main floor.
