North Root Architecture

Drive by progress shots of this Bottle Bay Residence. Construction by Travis Harmon Construction.
More to come of this eventually, but the design was partially inspired by lakefront cabins of old that show their history on their sleeve, patina and all.

Here are some of the graphics we submitted for the award. We’ve tried a few times to tell the story of this project and it took multiple iterations, eventually realizing the tale of this building was less about the initial ask of designing some ADA ramps and all about how this masonry building revealed its original grandeur during demolition phase, exposing the lofty ceilings, skylights and brick walls, and removing 60 years of paneling and dropped ceilings.

Big thanks to for his creativity developing these graphics to help tell that story through drawing.

Schweitzer Residence in the Spires is underway. This will be a phased construction with the foundation wrapping up this fall, letting it sit over the winter and then starting the framing in the early spring.
The contractor, Skyline Construction went above and beyond on the erosion control for this foundation, creating a safe working environment on a very steep slope.
