Snow Kreilich Architects

Last Friday we celebrated the studio's 30 year milestone with an evening of delicious food, creative cocktails, lively music and many laughs. Thanks to The Lynhall for hosting the event. Cheers to 30! #30Years #Architecture #Design #Minnesota #SnowKreilich #Celebration

On this day in 1995, Julie Snow founded Julie Snow Architects, setting us on a path of innovation and discovery. In the decades since, we’ve been designing spaces that respond to the challenges of a complex world. As we expanded into public architecture, we explored the intersection of social, cultural, environmental, and political issues—fostering design solutions that enrich the communities they serve. In 2010, Matt Kreilich joined as Design Principal, helping shape the vision that today drives our team of 35 architects and designers. With diverse backgrounds and perspectives, we maintain an unwavering dedication to the design excellence and a rigorous process that defines our work. In the next 30 years, we aim to stay curious, push boundaries, and produce designs that are both pragmatic and poetic. Here’s to the next 30 years of design! #SnowKreilich #FoundingDay #30YearsOfDesign #Architecture

Happy International Women's Day! This year's theme is #AccelerateAction which calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases women face, both personally and professionally.?? ?? Since Julie Snow founded the firm in 1995, Snow Kreilich has always been committed to pushing the profession toward gender equality within our studio and in the broader architectural industry. With a diverse team where nearly 60% of our members are women and people of color, we constantly aim to foster an inclusive environment. As part of the Just Label certification process, we strive to achieve the highest standards in Gender Diversity, Pay-scale Equity, and Gender Pay Equity. For us, gender equality is not just a goal—it’s a core value embedded in our work and community impact.?? ?? #AccelerateAction #IWD #GenderEquality #Architecture??

The fellowship program was developed to honor architects who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession and made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.?? ? For over two decades, Karen has made a profound impact in her community, professional settings, academia, and the architectural industry. As a Design Director and Associate Principal at Snow Kreilich, she has led some of our most significant projects while also shaping our studio culture. Karen advocates for equity in the built environment and the profession and leads the studio’s initiatives in this work.
