LOCUS Architecture is a collaboration of talented architects and designers. The firm started in 1995, founded by three partners who still manage the efforts of two offices, Paul Neseth and Wynne Yelland in Minneapolis, and Steven Rajninger in San Francisco.
Our practice works with our clientele to ask and answer questions, in levels of scales and detail. We seek the ethical place between success and consequence, as we are fully aware that everything we do has far-reaching implications, well beyond building. We treat every project as a potential benefactor to a sustainable environment, local economies, and our own community. Initially, clients contact us to bring beauty into the spaces they inhabit. They are in agreement with our convictions; that beauty – alone – is sustainable, and architecture – when done well – is art. In addition, they receive the thoughtful design of larger things they and we value, such as the forests of Wisconsin, learning environments for children, and air they breathe. Their houses embody the serendipitous spirit we strive to capture.
Each of LOCUS’ projects strives to enrich one's experience of space, light, context, materials and craftsmanship through the experience of architecture. We believe that exemplary architecture not only provides functional space, but acts as a lens through which we view, understand, and appreciate the natural and man-made world. At LOCUS we deliver a unique and personal product. Although projects range from new construction at the civic scale to the smallest residential remodels, each design opportunity brings creative potential. LOCUS Architecture's strength is transforming this potential into reality. We should know, all LOCUS principals live in houses they designed and built for themselves.
