Noel Knudson Architect, has a diverse practice of residential, commercial, institutional and industrial projects during the last 17 years in Duluth, preceded by 20 years of working for other architects. His design philosophy is focused primarily on the needs and wishes of his clients and the demands of their sites, tempered with professional advice and various design options.

He does not assume that he knows what is best for a client, but rather that a design will emerge which reflects the client’s desires and functional needs. So, many of his designs are not sterile geometric boxes, or architectural statements but rather a reflection of listening to clients.

For flexibility, he has designed timber structures, steel and glass modern, curvilinear forms, and a wide range of other styles. Knudson is licensed in the State of Minnesota. 218-723-8035
