Christine Albertsson's clean, timeless architecture is guided by her Scandinavian heritage and New England upbringing. Whether rural or urban, her projects are sensitively sited in the landscape and employ natural materials and colors with simple, beautifully crafted details.

Christine received her masters of architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1990. She began practicing architecture with several prominent Minnesota firms in 1991, before founding Albertsson Hansen in 2000. An active member of the Minnesota American Institute of Architects (AIA), Christine served on the Architectural faculty at the University of Minnesota from 1993 to 2001.

"Christine Albertsson brings clarity and timeless sensibility to award-winning design."

"Genuine use of a rustic, rural vocabulary in a sophisticated way."

"We design with visual and sensory details in mind — so you can hear the crack of the ice when it shifts in the cold, see the warbler migration from your kitchen, smell the lilacs blooming in the spring."
— Christine Albertsson
