Prairie-style has been the trademark architecture in Owatonna, Minnesota since the early 1900’s, and Federated Insurance remains true to that heritage in the Al T. Annexstad Building. Reclaiming a classic building last used as a retail shopping mall – including movie theatres, fitness center with pool and a variety of shops – the building has been transformed into a state of the art corporate facility that includes a 500 seat auditorium, training rooms, executive board room and lounge, cafeteria, call center, Credit Union offices, and a new fitness center.

In collaboration with BWBR Architects, Target Commercial Interiors provided all traditional training and office furniture, auditorium seating, signage, accessories, flooring as well as the sourcing of custom stained glass and area rugs. In deference to fiscal responsibility, remanufactured office furniture was used to supplement the existing standard used throughout their Owatonna facilities.

As part of our annual Holidazzle Parade event for our clients, we created the idea of a competition among local design firms as a fun and charitable collaboration. We distributed small, toy-like snow shovels and saucer/sleds to 25 firms and challenged them to decorate, enhance, or art-up either or both. We asked them to be shiny, sparkly, glittery, flamboyant and joyful, but most of all that they make these Northland icons sing with the spirit of the season.

We offered a $500 Grand prize to the charity of their choice for the winner as judged by our esteemed design consultants – the team of Derek and Tessa Sussner. A prize of lunch for their design staff was provided by Steelcase for the People’s choice award, voted on by all in attendance that evening.

5 Submissions were received, each of a unique style and character. The design winner was the Ski Hill by the BKV Group; the People’s Choice award went to the Giving Tree of Perkins+Will. All entrants are on display in our Nicollet Mall windows through next week.
