“The cute city of Eau Claire is home to a downtown splashed in murals and calls itself the Indie Capital of the Midwest.

Thank you @downtowneauclaire for a lovely evening, & thank you #ChippewaValley for voting for Oxbeaux for Best Downtown Event 2017!

The Oxbow Hotel recently won a few design awards from the Minnesota Chapter of American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) – a HUGE honor. The property took first place in the Hospitality/Retail category, and a Judge’s Merit Award for Sustainable Design. We also received a Judge’s Merit Award for Collaborative Effort, which was awarded by the judges based on our entry and not actually an official category; they decided that it deserved the commendation. Cool stuff.

We’re very grateful for the accolades, and have so many people to thank: @shelterdesigns and hometown heroes @sds_architects, and further, this place wouldn’t be what it is without the help of Eaux Claires creative director Michael Brown, Tim Brudnicki of Eau Claire Woodworks, Keith Wyman of @concretepig, Kurt Gaber – @signguychippewafallswi, and Hal from @sds_architects to name a few.
