The project
thread collective, as architect and landscape architect, restored Frank Lloyd Wright's 1959 Olfelt House in the Minneapolis area, completed in 2020. The work respects the design and intent of Wright's original two-wing house.
A new addition is tucked into the site's natural slope, echoing the old house in its roofline, form and materials. Inside, the kitchen was relocated to create a separate dining room, while Wright's great room keeps its wall of timber-framed glazing.
