The carefully considered relationship between a house and its natural setting. The life-affirming qualities of well-shaped, well-functioning rooms. The precise detailing in millwork and fixtures. These are the qualities Todd Hansen considers in his award-winning architecture.

Todd received his masters of architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 1991, practicing with several respected Minnesota firms before partnering with Christine Albertsson as Albertsson Hansen Architecture. A member of the Architectural faculty at the University of Minnesota from 1994 to 1999, he is an active member of the Minnesota chapter of the American Institute of Architecture.

"Hansen's clean and warm style transforms the classical architectural vocabulary of America's past — the simple elegance of Shaker furniture and Colonial forms — into contemporary architecture that addresses the requirements of twenty-first-century life." — Midwest Home

"Our clients want an outcome that exceeds their expectations and creates meaning in their lives. They also desire a connection to nature and to reduce their impact on the environment."
— Todd Hansen
