Tiny Diner - Remodel
Awards
1024 38th Street, Minneapolis, MN
A full service restaurant close to a “Zero” carbon footprint
The Tiny Diner opened for business June 26, 2014. A unique project where the design was an on-going change process, all the way from the solar panels to the east planting water retention area.

Servicing the Diner's power and community. The 36’ x 36’ solar array was installed in October 2013. The solar array panel has a dining patio underneath providing an open but protected area. A hand-made birds nest. Gardens full of vegetables used by the Diner.
Metal paneling and sign were added to give the Tiny Diner a 1950’s look. Bicycle racks for neighborhood diners.
Hand made counter and bathroom doors. Some beams were hidden in the ceiling and in the kitchen area moved to the east wall to give the interior an open look.
