Snow Kreilich Architects is a nationally recognized, award winning architectural studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formerly Julie Snow Architects, the studio was founded in 1995 by Julie Snow. The studio focuses on producing architecture that performs against multiple measures of design success. This focus has resulted in consistent design recognition for projects that rely on a fresh and intensive design investigation of every project. Carefully developed shared working methodologies have resulted in consistently intelligent buildings that are well conceived and carefully detailed. Since its inception, the studio has received significant and consistent design recognition, winning a variety of design awards ranging from two Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Awards, a Design Distinction Award from I.D. Magazine, a National AIA Honor award, a Progressive Architecture Award, a Holcim Bronze Award for sustainable construction and several GSA Design Awards. Recently, the studio received AIA’s 2018 Firm Award, this award is the highest honor the AIA bestows on an architecture firm and recognizes a practice that consistently has produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years. The studio has performed master-planning, programming and conceptual design in a collaborative studio-based design investigation. Continued evolution of design and detailing is pursued through the documentation process. Full-scale details, mock-ups, physical and computer models are used to explore projects in all dimensions. Interior design services, custom furnishings and furniture specifications are also performed in-house. Through collaboration with specialist designers and engineers, the studio has developed critical working relationships. This has allowed collaboration beyond the studio and the ability to perform projects of considerable complexity and scale.
