Chris Cottrell, Architect

My interest in architecture began while piling up sofa cushions for childhood forts. We all share that basic human urge to create a space of our own.  

I value the relationships formed with my clients through the process of architecture.  Helping them formulate and achieve their building goals is incredibly satisfying.  

When I'm not in the office, I enjoy cycling, cooking, woodworking, skiing and best of all: adventuring with my wife and three boys.

James Blair, Designer

Montana native James Blair received his master’s in architecture from Cornell University. He has designed commercial and residential projects for clients including Nike and Whistle Club.  He dabbles with prototyping modern furniture. When he’s not in the office (or the woodshop), you might find him down at the beach with his custom spearfishing gun, riding hammerhead sharks at Cortes Bank, or playing with his sons Dax and Brady.
