We have various facets of specialty i.e. fung shui, sustainable material sourcing, low v.o.c., health / spa - holistic design, passive solar energy efficient, cutting edge materials and building systems.
Our design philosophy is based on the concept of "flow." and "awareness" This is intrinsically designing a dwelling that maximizes your day to day lifestyle. It is creating an environment that allows you to move from one space to another fluidly and while transitioning between these spaces, be inspired by the architecture and the surrounding environment. A connection to the present moment and the surrounding environment. It is also knowing exactly why you love the materials, the space, the overall feel of your house and being mindfully aware if exactly why you love it.

He has removed himself from the physical side of the process, solely focusing on Designing homes. Over the past 18 years he has also worked for some of the top residential firms in the country gaining a full set of knowledge to master every detail that goes into residential design. When he isn't in the office, he is either bagging peaks, chasing elk or soaking up all that the Montana outdoors have to offer with his family.
"Designing homes or dwellings for people and families is in my opinion the greatest profession on earth. I get to create a tangible and functional work of art where families live their day to day lives. A home is more than just a home, it's a sanctuary where memories are made, where families grow and learn. It's a place of inspiration and safety. It's where we all start and end our days. It's where poetry meets function.
I take this into account in every single project no matter what the size or budget. My end goal is to always create something that enrichens the lives of those that are in that space." - Seth Capon -
