Welcome to Minneapolis
The City of Lakes, The Mini Apple, the Mill City – Minneapolis has many names, and at BKV we call it our founding practice site. In 1978, we established Boarman Architects, and since, the practice site has brought a dynamic range of projects to the Twin Cities and Midwest region, and many within walking distance of North Loop office itself. Holistic design was established here, and we carry it through in our work everyday.
Our Workplace
The Long & Kees Building
The historic Long & Kees building in the North Loop of Minneapolis has been BKV’s home since 1978, with our firm adaptively reusing the building to adapt to the growing size and needs of a founding office of a national design firm. The in-house, literally, design team maintained the original forms within the structure and created a newly enhanced, collaborative-rich experience for the architects, designers, and engineers housed within the neighborhood landmark.
