ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
We captured the essence of Little Mod across the changing Minnesota seasons , showcasing its potential as a smart and natural addition to the neighborhood for investors and officials alike .
The project is targeting a Zero Energy Building that pairs a high-performing building envelope with intelligent mechanical systems . Energy modeling will play a big role in the overall design of the building envelope , along with the quality of windows and doors of the project . The goal is to produce more energy than the home ’ s annual energy use .
In early 2024 , Double Jack needed to rely on the exterior renderings to get the project across the finish line — securing funding , winning grant proposals , and obtaining city approvals . Visualization studio NOMINN embraced this creative challenge and produced a series of stunning renderings , each capable of standing alone as a piece of art .
“ We captured the essence of Little Mod across the changing Minnesota seasons , showcasing its potential as a smart and natural addition to the neighborhood for investors and officials alike ”, explains Jake Williams , NOMINN founder .
The project has since secured significant funds , including from Statewide Affordable Housing Aid , 2023 HRA Levy funding , and American Rescue Plan Act funding . Construction is planned to begin in late 2024 .
NOMINN also submitted the renderings to the 12th Annual Architizer A + Awards , earning the Jury Selected award in the Architecture + Models & Rendering Category .
