Max Ouellette-Howitz

Max brings enthusiasm and collaborative spirit to his design work. He builds relationships with clients and builders that support the shared goal of creating thoughtful, enduring, and expressive buildings.

He finds great joy in transforming ideas into lasting structures that enrich the lives of their inhabitants. In addition to his work at SALA, Max teaches architecture design studios at the University of Minnesota. He lives in an old brick building in downtown Minneapolis and spends lots of time on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
