FACTOTUM
Some call it “the Cribs.” Others know it as Uncle Harvey’s Mausoleum. For many Duluth locals, it was simply “the ice house.” This enduring structure along the harbor has quietly collected stories, nicknames, and memories across generations. In Factotum, its familiar form is reimagined through bold geometric shapes and hard-edged minimalism, transforming a piece of Duluth history into a modern visual interpretation.
