Award Year / 2021

The SECOND + SECOND project is new urban fabric that stitches a mixed-use development into the Historic North Loop District of Minneapolis. The project re-imagines privately owned space as public realm, using texture, planting and infrastructure to be welcoming, immersive, and sustainable. Three key spaces- the Garden Street, the Portal, and Foundry Court – connect to and through a city block amplifying the character and materiality of the district while scaling inspired spaces for residents and the public. The project sets a new precedent for elevating developer-funded projects as an investment in quality urban spaces shared as a resident amenity.
