MH HOLIDAY PARTY!

The Mohagen Hansen Architecture | Interiors staff wrapped up the holiday season with a night of good company and great laughs!  The evening began with tickets to the Brave New Workshop for a lively showing of "The Trump Who Stole Christmas."  After the show the MH crew moved on to the Rock Bottom Brewery for appetizers, dinner, brewery tours, billiards, and samples of their best brews.  A big thank you to Todd Mohagen, Mark Hansen, and the "fun committee" for always hosting terrific events!

Hennepin County Central NE Minneapolis Regional Hub

Mohagen Hansen Architecture | Interiors was selected by Hennepin County to provide architecture and interior design for a new Regional Hub for the Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health Department. An average daily client volume of 264 individuals / families are served by a total staff of 312. Significant interior renovation work was required to transform the existing 5th and 6th floor office space into a client service operations environment.  The design team worked within previously established finish standards, and through creative space planning and design, developed an environment that meetd the County’s goal of improving community outreach in a safe and secure location.

Currently, the County is strategically locating service center hubs throughout the metro area.  The Central NE Minneapolis Regional Hub offers intake and assessment, financial assistance, health care programs, child and adult protection, and ongoing case management, as well as referrals to other county and community services. Additional specialty services included within this hub are Emergency Assistance, Shelter and a WIC clinic.

Nexstar Nework, Inc.

Mohagen Hansen Architecture | Interiors provided programming, architectural, and interior design services for the corporate office relocation of the Nexstar Network offices and call center.  The client sought an upscale, simplistic design solution that would provide a unique yet comfortable environment for their staff while attracting new clients and employees.  The space, which is located in the U.S. Bank Center in St. Paul, includes a prominent entry off of the elevator with an impressive reception and waiting area.  Also included was the design of two training centers, a meeting room, break area, and office space.

Prominent Financial Firm Completes Renovation

Mairs and Power, Inc., a prominent financial management firm, selected Mohagen Hansen to provide design services for the renovation of their space in the First National Bank Building in downtown St. Paul.  The design solution created offers a transitional approach to corporate interiors.  Rich woods are balanced with deep plums and warm neutrals throughout the space for an updated, yet timeless feel.  Due to the nature of their business, Mairs and Power required the majority of the space be private office with some open office, both of which have executive style adjustable height work surfaces.  Prior to renovation, stepping off the elevator, clients had to search for the entry to Mairs and Power.  The renovation created an opportunity to develop a prominent entry with an etched glass opening that offers privacy to the receptionist, yet is spacious and inviting.  The renovated space goes a long way toward reinforcing the stellar reputation and rich history of the firm.

Cheers to 25 years!

Thank you to all of our clients, project partners, employees, family and friends who helped make our first 25 years possible, and our celebration memorable. We had a great time celebrating our anniversary last Thursday night at The Bachelor Farmer in downtown Minneapolis. Cheers to 25 more years!
