News Operations Manager Bret Knutson

Bret Knutson, a Lindal veteran, put his architectural training to work creating electronic renderings to complete the clients’ vision of their Lindal design. An innovator and very organized thinker, Bret took the lead in creating a new system to speed up the pricing process.

A key members of the Lindal Architects Collaborative, Bret began the drive for maximum efficiency designs and process with the development of the commemorative Modern A-Frame program in 2010 and the Lindal Elements program in 2011; a field-test of the disciplined systems approach with dealers and clients before independent architects were invited to utilize that system in designing the new and very diverse Collaborative houses.

A significant part of their success in achieving a truly collaborative experience with clients and architects lies in the warm and respectful manner Bret has with internal staff, dealers, and clients. His approach breaks down barriers and his guidance is invaluable.
