Who We Are
Modern Oasis is an Architecture and Design firm from Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are associated with and built on the design philosophy of internationally renowned architect Charles R. Stinson. Modern Oasis was established in 2012. We have delivered design solutions that seamlessly blend aesthetics with functionality.

What’s In The Name?
Being “Modern”: Being open to, and internalizing the best of where we have been, where we are, and possessing an unabashed enthusiasm for where we can go… and maybe most importantly, making the choice to go there. It is a departure from traditional styles and a focus on innovative design, materials, and construction techniques. We are often associated with functionalism, simplicity, cleanliness, and the use of new materials.
An “Oasis”: A place that is both intimate and private, self-contained, life-giving and nourishing but not isolated or walled off from the world. An oasis has an abundance of what is required to live, freeing a person to focus on what is important to them and provides a sense of refuge, inspiration and tranquility. We area place that offers a respite from the ordinary, incorporate thoughtful design elements, and fosters a sense of harmony and well-being for our clients.
