Min | Day
Min | Day was established in 2003 by E.B. Min and Jeff Day with offices in San Francisco and Omaha, Nebraska. Prior to meeting in the Masters of Architecture program at UC Berkeley, E.B. received her AB from Brown University with dual concentrations in Art and Art History and Jeff majored in Visual Studies at Harvard. Before forming their current office, the partners practiced in the arts, landscape, and building design. Their unique background provides clients with a well-rounded design approach making them one of the top young architecture practices in the United States.
Min | Day's work has received numerous AIA awards and been published internationally, notably:
• 2009 New Practices San Francisco Award
• California Home & Design’s Ten to Watch in 2009
• Residential Architect’s 2010 Rising Star Award
• Architectural Record Magazine’s prestigious 2009 Design Vanguard feature
• Emerging Talent Award, AIA CC, 2007
Min | Day views each project with a fresh eye with a design approach characterized by:
• interplay between spaces and materials
• integration of landscape and building
• capturing natural elements
• bold use of color
• balancing function with delight

Featured Residential Projects
View of hallway looking towards stairs with steel grate railing, concrete floor and wood panels. Rougher materials become sophisticated and elegant with detailing.
View of kitchen through sculpted light shaft. The translucent polycarbonate lined walls hide mechanical vents and ducts while also providing a beautiful and mysterious light source during the day. At night the translucent walls are backlit to provide a lantern-like effect.
Custom designed enclosure for an extremely efficient wood-burning fireplace. The subtle bend in the wall allows for venting while creating a pleasing inflection in the living room of this modern farmhouse.
Generous mudroom with built-in cabinetry, shoe / boot storage. The mud room connects the farm office, guest room, guest bathroom and main hall. Orange linoleum provides a playful and suprising punch of color.
