Established in 1871, Lakewood Cemetery is a cherished institution in the heart of Minneapolis. Over the years, renowned architects and landscape designers have enhanced the beauty of its amazing site with several award-winning buildings.


We collaborated with Snow Kreilich Architects (Minneapolis) and JE Dunn Construction (Minneapolis) on the Lakewood Cemetery Visitor Center (Minneapolis) project.
