Minneapolis was hip to design long before Newsweek called it “Design City” in the summer of 2006. As home of the new Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis Public Library, Walker Art Center, and design-conscious Target Corporation, the Twin Cities have enjoyed recent architectural prominence on the national stage. But our region has long been known for distinctive homes and superlative architectural talent.Residential architects are experts in home design. You may visualize, generally, what you want out of your next home or remodeling project, but an architect knows which questions to ask to determine exactly how you want your home to complement your lifestyle. Architects merge the two important principles of aesthetics and function, for results that look as good as they live.
TREND TALK
“A greater attention to detail is being expected in both new home construction and remodeling projects. This detail enables the design to be quite unique, special and customized for the customer, regardless of the size of the project or the size of the space.” —De Novo ArchitectsTREND TALK
“Kitchens with hidden storage in exchange for more windows…mudrooms that can actually handle mud, and an investment in quality over quantity.” —Rehkamp Larson Architects

What is your philosophy?
Take 3,000 years of history, add to it a singular artistic style, and you create what we call “Architecture De Novo.” It’s what happens when your architect has an intrinsic understanding of architecture of old, and blends it with his own artistic expression for today.Our inspiration…
We are influenced and inspired by Roman Architecture, which is intended to make every room special. We engage a design process similar to the Romans, which involves carving out space, and using space and mass in the entire three-dimensional space with an objective of symmetrical circulation.

Our key to success…
Our key to success is the architects’ ability to draw and sketch three dimensional renderings. These renderings are an integral part of the design process and enable our customers to visually see what the space(s) will look like. Unusual ceilings, walls with arches, and architectural details are missing in a two dimensional diagram. With three dimensional perspectives, our customers can imagine with us, as we design a space uniquely suited for them.

We believe...
We believe that great houses are the result of a collaboration between architect, client and builder. A house should settle comfortably into its site and neighborhood, learn from the past, and anticipate the future. A house should be healthy, sustainable and careful in its use of our natural resources. Houses are the place we begin and end each day and should be durable, functional, and delightful.
