At R2 Studios Architecture, we help entrepreneurs open Residential Assisted Living (RAL) facilities by providing the architectural plans and compliance documents needed for licensing approval.\n\nWe focus exclusively on senior living design, which means we understand exactly what cities, the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the Metropolitan Council require for approval.\n\nOur process saves time, money, and stress:\n• Site Assessments – identify issues before inspections.\n• Architectural Plans – fully code-compliant drawings.\n• Evacuation Plans – meet MDH and life-safety standards.\n• Licensing Support – smoother approvals with fewer revisions.\n\nWe make the licensing journey easier so operators can focus on building successful care homes and serving their residents with confidence.

"I had a wonderful time working with Gabrielle. She is a talented and empathetic designer who listened to what I sought in my office remodel. She was mindful of my budget and offered great advice on repurposing a few essential items I already had. The final product was so lovely I could use my office as a recording space for a work video! Gabrielle made my office into an excellent space that my whole family enjoys. I also worked with her on my house purchase and was able to initially use her expertise to look over home inspections, view houses via video chat and help me make a decision on the feasibility of said homes. Gabrielle's knowledge was imperative in my home buying decision. Furthermore, she was also pivotal in a kitchen remodle that I did in my small cottage home, attached to my main house. She helped us think of a strategy for removing a partial wall and also how to best position, construct and install a kitchen island. Needless to say, Gabrielle is a one stop shop for any building, interior and consulting needs that anyone has while building, buying, renovating or decorating a home. I highly recommend her services!"

"Criterium Schimnowski Engineers is my go to company. I am a Realtor and have had many situations that require a structural engineer. They are ALWAYS professional and provide an unbiased evaluation and thorough report. I wouldn't use anyone else, in fact. They have saved deals for me and my clients while being extremely ethical. I strongly recommend them!"

"Our project was difficult. It began in October with permits from the city and the demolition of our existing deck and garage and excavation for the new workshop space. We were delayed by intense Minnesota winter weather over and over again. Despite the set backs the Plumbline team showed up every morning, worked in the dark and the snow to build our beautiful new garage, workshop and deck. They did a great job of working with our existing, uneven structures to add sound new construction. Through it all Roger kept us smiling and laughing and the entire team was friendly, we enjoyed having them at our home."
