Who doesn't love a potluck?

Last week, our Interiors Team hosted a Minnesota State Fair themed potluck, complete with a photo booth, ring toss, and State Fair trivia. The spread was so impressive, with delicious fair-inspired foods including corndogs, pickle pizza, and chocolate chip cookies!

The Charlotte office joined in too, just for fun, because a special occasion isn't always needed to bring everyone together.

Showcasing a palette of emerald green, textured fabrics, and brass accents, this arrangement evokes the rich history and charm of Ireland. We hope it transports you to the lush countryside and inspires a quiet moment curled up with a good book.

Good luck in your next chapter in Ireland Andja, we will all miss you here at Kaas Wilson Architects!

Coming early 2028 is Felix, a new affordable community in the high-growth Deer Valley Corridor of Phoenix, Arizona. Developed by Roers Companies, this 5-story, 191,000 square foot community will bring 147 units to a region with growing demand for quality affordable housing.

Designed to serve households earning up to 60% of the area median income, Felix includes a fitness center, private movie theatre, outdoor patio, playground, and dog run. Solar panel covered carports will provide shaded parking while generating clean energy, a practical response to the Arizona climate.

Opening in January 2028, Felix will help to close the affordable housing gap in Phoenix. We look forward to sharing more updates as construction progresses!

Our 2026 softball season has come to a close, and we're grateful for another summer of teamwork beyond the office. The team really rallied on the final day of the tournament. What could have been a quick single game turned into a three game evening as we kept advancing round after round!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support our team, including Steve, who brought along his lucky cowbell!

- Raymie Johnson Estates

Located in Stillwater, Minnesota, Raymie Johnson Estates is an affordable senior housing community comprised of a 96-unit apartment building and 24 townhomes that serve residents aged 62 and older.

This project was an occupied renovation, meaning every improvement was made with current residents in mind, delivering upgraded, modernized, and higher-quality housing without displacing the community. The project included an addition that expanded the leasing and mail area, upgraded amenities, refreshed unit finishes, and a brand new parking lot. One of our favorite touches is a new library tucked into a previously unused fifth-floor elevator bay. A favorite of the resident's? The upgraded first floor elevator lobby that features a beautifully painted mural that was preserved through construction. Created by a resident, as a lasting reminder of the community's story.

Thank you to all of our project partners who helped bring this one to life for today's residents and those to come!

- The Ensley

Just 1.5 miles from downtown Wayzata, The Ensley is redefining what active adult living looks like. This new boutique-style, 55+ community by Greco pairs resort-style luxury with a vibrant, connected lifestyle. Now leasing, it offers everything from one-bedroom apartments to spacious penthouse three-bedroom residences.

Life here is built around connection and leisure. Residents enjoy a clubroom with a chef's kitchen, an outdoor pool, pickleball courts, a putting green, a coffee lounge, game room, library, three-season porches, and four outdoor fire pit lounges. Every space is thoughtfully designed to bring neighbors together. Plus, its Lake Minnetonka setting puts shopping, dining, and waterfront recreation right at your doorstep.

Every detail of this project came together beautifully, from the scenic views and landscaping to the thoughtfully designed interiors and exteriors. We can't wait to watch it fill with residents who will bring the community to life!
