RIVER Condominium

In this recent condominium update in St. Paul, Minnesota, modifications to the original floor plan are designed to frame views of the Mississippi River landscape and maximize natural light. Careful composition of materials and surfaces creates a serene, minimal dwelling using steel, leather, terrazzo, ash wood, and eco-friendly MDF panels. Storage and functional components are housed in a thickened wall, which also acts as a buffer between the living and sleeping spaces.

This project was completed in 2019 with MSR Design, and professional photography is by Corey Gaffer © Gaffer Photography.
