Blandin Foundation

A renovation that embodies a people-first approach and commitment to local communities.

Blandin Foundation Renovation Grand Rapids MN 2024 PI 27

The Blandin Foundation, a private foundation with the mission of assisting rural Minnesotans, was in need of an update to its original 1983 building. Continua Interiors joined Widseth to fully renovate the space, incorporating thoughtful details that speak to the organization’s commitment to the people of Minnesota and the natural world. 

Our team contributed a range of services during the renovation process, including providing designs and furniture for the space’s new private offices, auditorium, conference rooms, innovation area and employee lounge. Manufacturers used included MillerKnoll, Paul Brayton, DWR, Bernhardt, Room and Board and more. 

Continua Interiors also provided AV services, installing a welcome screen in the front reception area. Each of the aforementioned spaces, plus an outdoor patio, offer employees and guests beautiful views of the Mississippi River. Our team’s design and furniture selection reflects this close relationship with nature, which holds great importance to the Foundation’s mission and goals for the people and land of Minnesota.
