Winston A. ("Win") and Elizabeth ("Lisl") Close ( n. Scheu) were an influential husband-and-wife team of modern architects in the midwest United States. They practiced from the 1930s to the 1980s, mostly in and around the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
This web site is a small collection of items documenting their career, with an emphasis on their residential work. It is maintained by Win and Lisl's grandson, Winston W. Close.
