Misfits Collective

CNH Architects recently worked with The Misfits Collective to remodel a vacant restaurant space in Apple Valley.


A full wall was removed to create an open kitchen aesthetic, allowing customers a view into the kitchen area. To reveal the existing barrel vault ceiling, acoustical paneling was removed for an industrial vibe in the large dining room. A beverage area was also added adjacent to the kitchen.


The owners envisioned highlighting and expanding the already massive patio. To do so, CNH added a new patio roof connecting the seating area to the existing outdoor bar. This not only updated the space, but also allows for outdoor use year round, maximizing usable seating and capacity.

About Misfits Collective

The Misfits Collective challenges convention by putting their team’s purposeful individualism on display. They are creating flavors and experiences like never before in an inspiring, multi-concept food hall style setting.


Featuring four unique personalities- live-fire fare from Eighth Fire, Detroit style square pizza and elaborately balanced craft cocktails from Ratio, caffeinated elixirs and confections from Curiouser Coffee, and The Wanderer outdoor bar and patio with a regionally rotating menu inspired by adventure and cultural exploration around the world.

BURNSVILLE FIRE STATION NO. 1

CNH’s largest fire station to date, the City of Burnsville’s Fire Station No. 1 is home to a crew of all full-time firefighters and more than 44,000 SF with 10 apparatus bays. Firefighter safety was one of nine top priorities for the station. Multiple contamination zones and a designated de-contamination area will allow firefighters to keep contaminated equipment and clothing in the apparatus bay until decontaminated. Another priority in the design was firefighter mental health. A warning system that slowly ramps up with alert tones and lighting while only alerting responding staff ensures firefighters are not awoken in an abrupt manner. The station includes areas for relaxation with different lighting to promote natural sleep rhythms, as well as a yoga studio and meditation garden. Extensive firefighter training features including Firefighter 1 and advanced training elements are another highlight of the station.
