ABOUT

bldg.collective was founded in 2009 with the purpose of approaching the practice of architecture in a unique way. We are a creative, committed, and client-oriented residential and commercial architecture firm that hopes to change the ways we think about design.

Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, our team embraces every opportunity to collaborate, explore, and provide design solutions that transcend the trappings of style and trends.

Boulder architecture is as unique as the city itself. As a full-service residential and commercial architecture and design firm, we work closely with our clients to achieve a deep and thorough understanding of their intentions.

Always transparent in our design processes, we work towards achieving our clients’ goals while keeping their aesthetic, programmatic, sustainable, and budget aspirations front of mind. 

PHILOSOPHY

Our favorite architecture projects are those that encompass a unique and challenging objective.

We seek opportunities to work with clients seeking bold designs. Because we listen carefully to our client's goals, we are able to provide a truly imaginative design that speaks to their life and their style. As one of Boulder’s leading architects, we firmly believe that no two buildings ever need to look alike.

Our goal is to be the architects our clients can relate to on a personal and professional level, thus avoiding the standard client/creator relationship while advocating for mutual understanding.

We listen to your ideas, understand your personality, hone in on your motivations, and translate your experiences into a physical structure that allows you to inhabit your world in your unique way.

Working With Us

Our firm size sets us apart from our competitors in the Boulder custom home architecture market. We sit squarely in the space between “large firm” and “sole proprietor,” offering a high level of client contact to produce and execute the moving pieces that encompass an architectural project

Our projects are never derived from a presumed style or aesthetic. Each drawing, rendering, and model is a culmination of thoughts, ideas, emotions, and innovations.

We are not only creative agents, but also professional service providers, deeply embedding our processes in the understanding of who our client is, what they want, and what our designs must achieve.

The result: Unified design that seamlessly blends the built structure with our client’s aesthetic, programmatic and sustainable intents

Services

  • We work with clients to achieve an in-depth understanding of their lives, and how our design can best accommodate their life and their style. Our process begins with you, your vision, and the space your structure will inhabit.

    The result? Projects that are unique to the client, drawn and created by our own hands, and built using the finest materials, most advanced technologies, and a careful attention to sustainable principles.

  • One of our favorite design challenges is transforming the home our clients have into the home they want. A successful remodel thoughtfully navigates our clients’ design intentions, budgetary allowances, and timeline. Your renewed home will be a distinct reflection of you, your taste, and your lifestyle.

  • Your interior design accentuates (and often enhances) the architecture. We believe each room should flow seamlessly to the next to create a cohesive design. Flexible, open-minded, and consistent communication, ensure we achieve approachable, timeless and comfortable surroundings.

  • For each commercial project, we generate creative and specific solutions that keep sustainability, time management, and budgetary guidelines at front of mind.

    Regardless of size, type, or purpose, we take a thoughtful approach to creating unique concepts. Our dynamic team is well-versed in working collaboratively with GC firms and developers, and we offer each of our clients the option to work with our suite of preferred contractors and subs.
