St. Mary's Care Center
Client: Benedictine Health System
Winsted, MN

Take an afternoon drive and visit the beautifully remodeled St. Mary's Care Center in Winsted, MN. Located next to the Garden House, the St. Mary's Care Center was designed with both the community of Winsted, and the community of St. Mary's in mind. A comforting blend of form and function, this is indeed a house where you'll find someone to lend a hand - and hold a hand.

 

French Country Retreat
Client: Confidential
Location: Northern Minnesota

In a beautiful pairing of styles, see how Nor-Son united the elegance and scale of the French Country with the charm and quaintness of the Cottage. While the designs may come from different origins, their aesthetic qualities focus on rustic warmth and comfort, allowing them to be a compatible match. The scale of the French Country may be stunning, but it's the Cottage style within that brings the sense of intimacy, making it a comfortable and charming retreat.

Institutional facilities and traditional care models are no longer what people want. The future is about how people live, not just about how they age. Read below to learn more.

A bridge is more than just wood, planks and handrails. It's a safe passage from one destination to the next. It's a connection between two people. It's a bond we share with our community. Learn how the bridge Nor-Son is building for Bridges of Hope, a non-profit organization in the Brainerd Lakes Area, is helping to reach out and support local families in need.

Pickerel Lake Retreat
Client: Confidential
Pickerel Lake

Inspired by natural elements of stone and timber, escape to this rustic retreat overlooking the beautiful Pickerel Lake. Wander through hallways and staircase of smooth, gnarly wood. Relax in front of a cozy, see-through fireplace of unique hearth stones. Find your way to the kitchen to admire hand-distressed cabinets with stainless steel mesh. The custom details and designs are endless, and make this another award-winning masterpiece by Nor-Son architects and builders.

Perham Memorial Hospital
Perham, MN 

Oh how the time flies! After breaking ground nearly two years ago the Perham Hospital is nearing completion. With Baker Hogan Houx as the Architect and Nor-Son the Construction Manager, this 110,000 square foot hospital is a truly unique and inventive project. Check out the progress we've made, and stay tuned for the final photos!

Pillager Public Schools
Pillager, MN

Husky pride was strong as families, friends and the community came together to celebrate the recent groundbreaking of the Pillager School addition. The community passed a school referendum in May 2011. After providing pre-referendum consulting services, Nor-Son was named Construction Manager. Widseth Smith Nolting is the architect. This 21st century addition will offer more space for the growing student body and allow teachers to incorporate new technologies into the classroom. Congratulations Huskies!
