The prize, sponsored by the St. Paul chapter of AIA Minnesota, is open to architectural interns living in Minnesota. It encourages the professional development of intern architects while showing their design skill on fun and often overlooked elements of the urban landscape.
Vogel is an architect at Minneapolis’ Ellerbe Becket, one of the country’s oldest and largest design firms.
This year’s competition was to design a single-family residence for a moderate-income family on a narrow lot in St. Paul. The house could be only 22 feet wide and approximately 1,300 gross square feet. The goals of the project were to design a house that would fit in an urban environment, be a successful solution to the constraints of its unique site and yet suggest a prototype for single family housing on other small urban lots.
A Minnesota native, Vogel has worked in Ellerbe Becket’s Minneapolis office since 2002. She also interned in the firm’s Kansas City office while finishing her bachelor’s degree in architecture at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. After graduation, she attended the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
She has worked on both national and international projects since joining the company. An innovator since its founding in 1909, Ellerbe Becket is a leader in architecture, engineering and the construction industry with office locations worldwide.
