Highland Bridge

Saint Paul, Minnesota

This home sits proudly along the Mississippi River on land formerly occupied by Ford Motors.  Strategically placed windows provide scenic views featuring historic landmarks, while blending modern scale and features into a primarily traditional neighborhood.

The large expansive panes of glass let in light to the internal volumes and provide views as they interweave between public and private spaces.

The exterior showcases distinct claddings to define the massings, including bonderized metal and brick that relate to the 135 acre former industrial site. As the first single family home to be completed within this new neighborhood, the home connects the beauty of the Mississippi riverside to the bustling Highland Bridge area of St. Paul.
