Founder - principal Architect

When Paul was a teenager in rural Minnesota he spent his summers stacking hay, and daydreaming about what he could build with it. PMA was born of this lifelong curiosity, and of his desire to help people find innovative, sustainable ways to actualize their dream designs. With over thirty years experience working primarily on large scale projects, such as high schools and hospitals, Paul is well-equipped to handle whatever may arise during the design and permitting processes. As for the dreaming, he encourages designs that blend Scandinavian and Eastern influences with the client’s individual tastes. This hands-on, guiding style ensures that the details are thorough, and the design is uniquely customized and efficient.
