Crafting Elevated Designs
Where Nature Meets Innovation
We've spent years figuring out how to build in the mountains without messing them up. Turns out, it's possible.
Start Your Project
After working on alpine projects for over a decade, you start seeing things differently. Every slope tells you something, every tree matters, and honestly? The weather's gonna do what it wants regardless of your plans.
That's why we don't just drop a building on a site and call it done. We spend time up there - walking around, watching how the snow falls, seeing where the wind hits. Sometimes our clients think we're stalling, but really we're just paying attention.
The result? Homes and structures that feel like they've always belonged there. Buildings that'll still be standing (and comfortable) when the next big storm rolls through.
More about usSix things we've gotten pretty decent at over the years. Each one's harder than it looks.
Custom homes that handle steep sites, heavy snow loads, and those panoramic views you bought the property for in the first place.
Not just slapping solar panels on and calling it green. We're talking proper passive heating, smart material choices, the stuff that actually matters.
Lodges, visitor centers, mountain retail spaces. Places where lots of people need to be comfortable at elevation.
Old mountain buildings have stories. We bring 'em up to code without destroying what made them special in the first place.
Making sure your building and the land around it work together. Drainage, native plants, wildlife corridors - the whole picture.
Heating and cooling at altitude is tricky and expensive. We've figured out how to keep your bills reasonable year-round.
Look, we get it. "Sustainable" and "eco-friendly" have become buzzwords that don't mean much. But when you're building in mountain environments, you can't fake it. The land'll tell on you real quick.
We've watched too many projects fail because someone thought they could cut corners on environmental considerations. Water goes where it wants. Snow accumulates in specific patterns. Wildlife has routes they've been using for generations.
So yeah, every project we do puts sustainability front and center - not because it's trendy, but because it's the only way things actually work long-term up here. Plus, your energy bills'll thank you.
We've been fortunate to work on some really interesting sites over the years. Challenging terrain, specific client needs, tight budgets, crazy deadlines - the usual stuff that keeps architects up at night.
What we're proud of isn't just the finished buildings (though they do photograph pretty well). It's that our clients actually live comfortably in these spaces. They're not fighting with their heating systems or wondering why there's ice damming on the roof every winter.
