Julie Nelsen's interior design portfolio summarizes several of her commercial and residential interior design projects. It includes the conversion of the Pabst Brewery into the Brewhouse Inn and Suites in Milwaukee, WI, which opened in 2013. It also details the design of The Docket, a restaurant at St. Louis University, and Black Bear Crossing Cafe in St. Paul, MN. Additionally, it shows Nelsen's remodeling of residential properties like Scheurmeir Lofts in St. Paul and a home in Scottsdale, AZ. Nelsen's portfolio demonstrates her skills in Revit for floor plans and 3D modeling, as well as sustainable design principles applied to kitchen and bathroom renovations.

Brewhouse Inn
and Suites,
Milwaukee, WI
During my internship with Landmark, A Boelter Company, we managed the
interior design of the Brewhouse Inn and Suites. This was a conversion of the
previous Pabst Brewery location that was shut down in 2007. The 90-room
boutique hotel opened in May 2013.

Brewhouse Inn
and Suites,
Milwaukee, WI
The Brewhouse Inn and Suites loosely followed a “Steamboat Punk” design
aesthetic. It was to be a little bit historic and a little bit Rock and Roll while
still meeting budget and being highly durable and functional.

This design board was created
for Landmark/Boelter for a
proposal for Black Bear
Crossing Café on Lake Como in
St. Paul, MN. A few
modifications were made for
the final project, but
Landmark/Boelter earned the
business from the meeting
where the board was
presented. Project is not yet
completed.

To create a more functional space in this Sustainable home, I created a
separate shower and tub area. I used reclaimed sinks and tub, but new
faucets and toilet to reduce water usage.
The space will allow for aging in place for this couple in their mid-50s with a
“roll-in” shower that is wheel chair accessible if necessary.
