Bryan Anderson, AIA

Bryan engages projects large and small with inventive solutions and environmental responsibility. Influenced by mid-century modernism and the rural vernacular outbuildings of his past, Bryan now exercises a devotion to the city and is well suited to design dwellings of all types, including new and infill construction, renovations, build-outs and adaptive reuse. Bryan's projects have appeared in This Old House, Architecture Minnesota and Midwest Home and Garden magazines, the Minneapolis StarTribune, and Sarah Susanka’s, Home By Design. He also contributes thoughts on architecture and community to the Southwest Journal of Minneapolis.

Bryan received his Bachelor of Architecture from North Dakota State University where he was awarded both the American Institute of Architects Henry Adams Medal for excellence in the study of architecture and the Peter F. McKenzie Memorial Foundation Award for outstanding undergraduate thesis. He is a licensed architect in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
