CNH Architects took part in designing the community-centric gathering place located in Rosemount, MN, with a primary goal of making all feel welcome within the area. As its name suggests, the Latin word “omni” means “of all things” and reflects both the brewing of all things – as well as the all-encompassed humanitarian connection that grows from the craft.
With a winery that includes a tasting room, event space, outdoor patio, vineyard, and game space -people and pets can roam an open floorplan in a structure that rests in open land. A metal exterior was chosen to fit a farm-agricultural feel, with an overall aesthetic that respects the historic roots of an agronomical community.
The architectural design expands views outward with large window bays and opening doors – but also holds visual interest with the use of mixed materials, perforated panels, steel members, plane changes and cut-outs. The production area is intentionally transparent, inviting and educating the public into the experience that is winemaking. A prominent exterior logo greets and welcomes guests in. A future phase of landscaping will feature orchard trees, paths, vineyards, and other attractive elements that will further promote a free and wandering concept.
All in all, the OMNI Winery and Taproom pays homage to the city’s history while foretelling future expansion, making the project one that CNH Architects feel honored to have contributed to.
CNH Architects interior design team recently collaborated with the owner of one of Apple Valley’s newest restaurants to remodel a vacant restaurant space.
The owners of Farmer and the Fishmonger had a very specific vision in mind and CNH assisted in bringing that to fruition by providing the permit set and designing glass and metal wall partitions. Other interior design updates include:
– exterior facelift with fresh paint and signage
– replaced cooking equipment and some prep equipment
– large bar display
– bar equipment upgrade
– metal and glass divider panels added to create more intimate seating sections in the dining area
– bar and dining area finishes were completely redone to create a more modern and upscale experience
– new booths, tables, and chairs throughout
Farmer and the Fishmonger is all about using locally-sourced ingredients to “reimagine the traditional steakhouse,” according to their website. They also offer craft cocktails “infused with wild, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, foragers, and fishmongers.”
CNH Architects worked with The Misfits Collective in Apple Valley to remodel a vacant restaurant space in Apple Valley. A full wall was removed for an open kitchen aesthetic, allowing customers a view into the kitchen area. The acoustical panel ceiling was removed to reveal the existing barrel vault ceiling for an industrial vibe in the large dining room. A beverage area was also added adjacent to the kitchen. As the owners wanted to highlight and upgrade the massive existing patio, CNH added a new patio roof connecting the seating area to the existing outdoor bar. This not only updates the space, but also allows for outdoor use year round, maximizing usable seating and capacity.
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.
