Our Building
designCraft needed a central location for our offices, and this building beckoned. Prior to our move in 2006, this was used as a home. We worked with Barnett Architecture on the redesign, creating a workplace that reflects our creativity and supports our commitment to sustainability. We relish being a half block from Monona Bay, a twenty-minute walk from Downtown, and a bike ride from almost anywhere.
