The Minikahda Club is a private club located on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis, founded in 1898. Newland Architecture has provided architectural design services since 2001 on a range of projects ranging from display cases to new buildings. The design basis is complementary to the original Greek Revival style used.

Completed projects include a new Golf Shop building, a new platform tennis warming house, a new wading pool, clubhouse residing, tennis shop improvements, a driving range shelter / storage building, and a remodeled bridge room.
