10K Architecture

10K Architecture 10K Architecture is a full service architecture firm located in Hopkins, Minnesota. Happy clients are the greatest reward of our work. So, why the name 10K?

When we founded 10K Architecture, we committed to establishing a client-focused firm, providing a high level of value and service. We have over 25 years of combined experience in commercial, institutional and residential architecture and to us, all projects big and small are significant. We chose architecture because it lends itself to limitless creativity, because buildings influence the way we l

ive, and most importantly because we can help others realize their dreams. Only when we listen to and deliver on our client’s goals and needs can we enhance their daily lives through innovative, functional solutions. No, we’re not busy running 6.2 miles. But if we were, it would likely be around one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes. Our name is at the root of what we love and what we do, and that is to design specifically for the place that holds both our homes and our hearts: the Midwest and it's spectacular landscapes, cultures and climate.

10K Architecture partnered with to renovate the common areas at Arcata Apartments in Golden Valley, Minnesota, enhancing leasing functionality, improving space efficiency, expanding amenities, and modernizing the overall aesthetic.

The main-level lobby, lounge, leasing offices, and mail/package areas were reconfigured to improve flow and usability, including the addition of a game room with bar and a new package room. The second-floor fitness center was relocated to the main level, allowing the former space to be converted into a residential unit—creating significant value for ownership. The upper-level community room received cosmetic updates.

The refreshed design is modern, bright, and inviting, featuring patterned felt walls, custom artwork and furnishings, and layered geometric forms and textures that create dynamic resident spaces.

Excited to get this one going! The additions to both buildings at 6700 and 6750 were designed to be complementary to the existing mid century modern office buildings, yet with a contemporary flair. The additions address handicap accessibility issues, provide a comfortable lobby area, and create a dramatic presence from France Avenue. Construction starting this summer. Great collaboration with Diversified Construction, Sandman Structural Engineering, and Civil Site Group.

Final photographs are in!

The extensive renovation of the clubhouse at Woodland Pointe Apartments transformed the space into a vibrant hub of activity and relaxation, enhancing the living experience for all residents. The underused and problematic indoor pool has been converted into a spacious community room and state-of-the-art fitness center, complemented by an expanded leasing office, a pool-side game room, and a dedicated work-from-home space that is equipped with all the essentials for productivity.

The renovation preserved the building’s most striking architectural feature—wood glue laminated beams and ceilings—meticulously cleaned and exposed to serve as the foundation for a mid-century modern aesthetic throughout the clubhouse. The design of the new spaces draws inspiration from these original wood ceilings, blending contemporary touches with classic charm to create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.
