Good design for good lives
Boreal Modern is a Minneapolis-based architectural design and development firm. We design and build simple, human-scaled, modern architecture with the purpose of enhancing people’s wellbeing. Our work challenges conventional thinking, catalyzes enriching experiences, and elevates quality of life.
We’re focused on delivering custom cabins and lake houses, as well as high quality urban infill development.
Boreal (adj.) /ˈbôrēəl/ bo·re·al
of the north or northern regions.
Feel something real
The cabin is where memories are made. It is a base camp for exploring our wild world - a place to slow down and live in the moment. It’s an analog experience in a digital world.
We love working with our wonderful clients to design bespoke spaces for experiencing real connection. What is your ideal retreat? Lakeside s’mores with the family? A secluded sauna in a snow covered forest? A view of the stars from your bed? Let's talk about your dream getaway.
Do more together
Design your life on your terms. Our collaborative approach to design is focused on listening. We will begin by hearing your stories, your wants and needs, and understanding your design goals. Then, together we will work to develop a design that is customized to how you want to live. Let us be your guide as you navigate the design and construction process so you can achieve your dream. Together we can do more.
Cities for people
While we love our wild spaces, we are urban people at heart. Our development work focuses on small scale urban infill projects because they allow us to engage the city on a human level. Our urbanist approach seeks to improve quality of life by increasing walkability, expanding housing options, and nurturing a foundation for community.
We’re always interested in working with local developers who are aligned with our goals. We also offer alternative financing options for select projects. Reach out to us to start the discussion!
