Welcome Home Adan!

At Albertsson Hansen, we understand the value of beautiful photography, and appreciate the hard work that goes into this craft. Over the last 11 years, we have worked with some of Minnesota's top photographers and we are very proud of the collaboration we have with these artists who have helped us document our work.

We have been lucky to partner with Adan Torres of Adan Torres Fotografia on many occasions. Adan's portfolio ranges from the commercial - boasting clients such as Room & Board, Walker Art Center, Disney Symphony Hall in LA, and The Guthrie Theater; to personal - portraits and landscapes exploring places and memories from his childhood.


After spending the long, cold Minnesota winter trekking through Patagonia, he returned to Minneapolis at the beginning of March. In honor of his return, we wanted to share some images from the last photo shoot he did with us before leaving for South America last fall - a small kitchen addition in the Lynnhurst neighborhood of Minneapolis.


For this project, we added a 7-foot extension across the back of this single-story bungalow from the 1920's, just enough space to expand the kitchen and the back bedroom, while straightening out the basement stair and creating a simple back entry way. The kitchen space was connected to the dining room by a wide archway, creating exceptional flow for a house of this era. Kitchen cabinets are a combination of IKEA and custom. The lower cost of the cabinets allowed more spending on high-end counters and lighting.



We are always excited to work with Adan. His artistry and sensitivity to the design features really bring out the best of this space and the other homes he has shot for us in the past. Welcome back to Minneapolis, Adan!
