Our Studio

Our studio is located in the Phillips neighborhood, a historically significant and culturally diverse area of Minneapolis. In 1999, we purchased and renovated an abandoned Arts and Crafts gas station to create our studio and office. The renovation received a CUE Award for design and aesthetic excellence. In 2005, we added a modern modular weeHouse addition to our studio.
