Mountain Architecture Backdrop

Elevating Design to New Heights

Where vision meets the peak. We've spent years figuring out how to build in places most architects won't even hike to.

Alpine Architecture Project

Building Where Others Think It Can't Be Done

Look, mountain architecture isn't just about slapping some timber on a building and calling it rustic. We're talking about real engineering challenges - snow loads that'd make your head spin, foundations that need to grip bedrock like their life depends on it (because it does), and making sure your resort guests don't freeze while you're still hitting those sustainability targets.

We've been doing this since 2008, working on everything from boutique ski lodges to full-scale commercial complexes at elevations where the air's thin and the stakes are high. Every project teaches us something new about what works when you're building above the treeline.

Our Story

What We Actually Do

Six core services that keep our calendars full and our clients happy. We've refined these over the years because they're what mountain projects really need.

Resort & Hospitality Architecture

We design spaces where people want to stay longer than planned. From ski-in/ski-out lodges to mountain conference centers that actually make sense.

Sustainable Building Design

Green building's not a buzzword for us - it's about keeping heating costs manageable and making sure your structure's still standing in 50 years despite the weather throwing everything at it.

Alpine Commercial Structures

Retail spaces, restaurants, adventure centers - commercial buildings that handle high-altitude conditions while looking sharp and functioning smoothly year-round.

Eco-Friendly Residential Planning

Mountain homes that don't compromise on comfort or views. We've figured out how to blend luxury living with responsible environmental practices.

Mountain Infrastructure Development

The unsexy stuff that keeps everything running - access roads, utilities, drainage systems that handle spring runoff without washing your investment downhill.

Green Building Certification Consulting

We help you navigate LEED, Net Zero, and other certifications. Done it enough times that we know which shortcuts work and which ones backfire.

Why Sustainability Isn't Optional Up Here

When you're building in the mountains, you can't fake green credentials. The environment's too fragile and the energy costs too real. We've seen too many projects that looked good on paper but couldn't handle actual mountain conditions.

Our approach combines passive solar design, locally-sourced materials, and mechanical systems that won't quit when it's -30 outside. It's not about virtue signaling - it's about buildings that work and cost less to operate.
