Private Residence, Minneapolis
Designed by oslund.and.assoc, this rooftop conversion of a historic landmark building into a private residence creates a moment of respite in the busy skyline of Minneapolis.

Ecological design parameters are also taken care of. Rainwater is collected and stored for the irrigation of plantings and the lawn. The lawn itself has an augmented cistern - designed by the landscape architect - built into its subterranean framework, allowing it to be not only self-watering, but also not allowing any runoff to escape from the lawn surface.
