About Us
At SALA we believe that our client collaborations transcend the idea of style.
We strive to create thoughtful, timeless, and creative solutions to architectural design that connect people with their community, with nature, and with a sense of place. At times this means we are responding to the historic fabric of a home or community, and at other times we are creating fresh new forms that relate to function, purpose, and climate.
We work with each client to understand their needs and aspirations, and use this knowledge to create uniquely crafted solutions for their lifestyle.

Bryan Anderson was a pleasure to work with in designing our cabin in the South Park region of Colorado. What an exciting time and a pleasure. The SALA team was nothing but spectacular in helping us realize our dream of a vacation home in the mounts. We have enjoyed countless days at the cabin and created great memories. Thank you to the entire staff that worked on the project.

Jody did a fantastic job of evaluating my home exterior to recommend house and trim colors. She had several creative follow-up ideas for exterior lighting and recommended materials for repairing some of the trim, also. She included detailed paint finish and manufacturer specs. This consultation was very inexpensive, and I am so glad to have benefited from her expertise.

We were honored to work with Dale Mulfinger at Sala Architects, as the builder, on a recently completed custom home in Minneapolis. Maximizing the use of space in this not so big house was a design challenge which Sala managed creativity and purposefully. I would highly recommend Dale and the Sala team to anyone looking to design or renovate their home

We worked with Eric Odor to help us transform the exterior of our home from a carved up bungalow into an elegant Modern Prairie style that would not look out of place in our traditional neighborhood. After working with several other Architectural firms without success - Eric nailed it on the first go. At our second meeting - his renderings brought tears to my eyes. He is a genius with design and very, very gifted. Thank you Eric! [shortly after we worked with Eric we bought a sailboat and that changed everything. We decided to wait on the house at this time in lieu of a 2 yr sailing adventure in the Caribbean - but when we do decide to move forward Eric will be the one we have help us do it]

I worked with Wayne Branum out of Sala's Stillwater office and found it to be a great experience. Wayne listens to you and brings beautiful ideas and great skill to the table. Working with Wayne was a collaborative process that resulted in so much more than I ever envisioned.... A stunning house, true to it mid-century roots, with a hint of a Japanese aesthetic. Plus, the process was fun!

We’re excited to be working with Eric Odor of SALA Architects to remodel our long-neglected, cramped cape cod in a spot we love. After years of deliberating about whether to move or stay, we called Eric and shared our hopes for a home that fits the older neighborhood but lives larger by adding smart square footage, better connects us with the outside, and fills our rooms with light. His design achieves all of this and more, surprising us with ideas we didn’t know we’d wanted, but to which we’re now completely attached. Our home will be a beautiful mix of the old cape with a fresher, contemporary spirit for how our family really lives.

We worked with SALA Architect David O’Brien Wagner, as the contractor, to improve the function, flow, and feel of a clients’ 1922 Dutch Colonial kitchen and family room space. David’s designs were unique and beautiful, yet practical. The functionality of the team (clients, architect, and contractor) was symbiotic and quite fun. We enjoyed the project and are quite proud of the end result.

We have had the pleasure of collaborating with SALA Architects on multiple projects. Each time they have brought something fresh to the table and are constantly thinking outside the box. They also have an innate attention to detail and are great at communicating. Overall, they have been a pleasure to work with.

Commented: what colour blue?Hello Phil - the color is a custom color mixed for this project from Sherwin Williams paint. If you're looking for a premixed color that is close to this one, Naval is a good choice.
