The Pella Showroom designed in Fargo, ND is a window and door showcase facility as well as an office. The building itself features a passive energy efficient design.

The awning windows hinge at the top, opening and allowing air to flow into the building creating cross ventilation. In contrast, the picture windows have a fixed frame for maximum efficiency and solar gain. A south facing Trombe wall, adjustable solar panels and cistern also add to the overall efficiency of the building.

The Riverline Market offers a haven where locals can unwind and foster connections within the immediate community. This, in turn, nurtures the local small businesses, fortifying the entire community. Moreover, the establishment of a central hub to fulfill these needs serves as a sanctuary for the Fargo Moorhead populace to collectively prosper. Our architectural blueprint ensures inclusivity, pushing the boundaries of urban design within the American context. By tailoring our layout to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, we actively inspire community engagement. Addressing the pivotal concern of potential flooding on the site, our team has devised a system of terraced layers that effectively counteracts flooding effects and redirects excess water to the river. Consequently, in the event of a flood, only a minimal section of the site is impacted, affording control over this natural occurrence.
