Min | Day selected as 2009 winner

Min | Day has been selected as one of 6 "New Practices" by the AIA San Francisco. New Practices San Francisco, the West Coast premiere of AIA New York’s annual portfolio competition and exhibition, is a platform for recognizing and promoting new and emerging architecture firms within San Francisco that have undertaken innovative strategies – both in projects and practice. Distinguishing this award from others given to new practices is the attention focused on how the winning firms are uniquely shaped to better facilitate the type of projects that they undertake.

Our work will be exhibited at the Center for Architecture in New York (June 4 - September 19, 2009) and at the Center for Architecture + Design Gallery in San Francisco (November 12, 2009 - January 29, 2010). We will participate in a symposium at the Center in New York on June 5, 2009 and at other events to follow in San Francisco. Visit www.aiasf.org for more information on the program, our fellow winning firms and the jury.

Red Shed Video Lounge wins AIA Central States award

The Red Shed Video Lounge won a citation award in the AIA Central States Region Design Excellence Awards 2008 announced in Kansas City on October 24. From over 240 entries the jury presented 15 awards of which ours is the only one given to a Nebraska architect. The Red Shed Video Lounge is a building designed and built by Min | Day + FACT from a 100-year-old salvaged farm structure. We exhibited the Shed as part of Art Farm @ Sheldon and it is now back at Art Farm awaiting final modification to serve as a mobile video gallery and internet lounge.

Lake Tables completed

The Lake Table is a dining table for the Okoboji House that we designed and had fabricated by Colley Furniture Studio in Omaha. The top is shaped from laminated white oak planks. Polished stainless steel legs thread into nuts embedded in the underside of the table so no joints are visible. We also designed a companion coffee table that is shaped from 16" solid oak planks.
