Happy All!

We wanted to take a moment to highlight one of our own, Allison Price and her incredible work for City of Boise’s Community Design Lab for Neighborhood Housing.

Her submission centers on people first design. By lifting the ground plane and creating a shared courtyard, it transforms everyday space into a place for connection, safety, and community. Paired with a thoughtful mix of public and private spaces, including neighborhood amenities, it becomes a strong example of how architecture shapes how we live and connect.

Alli, congratulations on this amazing exploration. It’s a great reminder of the positive impact architects can have on the built environment and the lives around it!

AI is expanding what is possible in architecture, but it does not replace the creative eye. Its sharpens it.

We use these tools early in the process to test ideas, study light, materials, scale and refine design decisions before construction begins.

The design still starts with people, place, and intent.

That clarity leads to better outcomes, smoother builds, and fewer surprises. Its peace of mind up front and efficiency where it matters most.

Big cheers to one of our own! Our Intern Designer Alli just wrapped up her fall semester with a fantastic final presentation and we could not be more proud.
 
From late nights to impressive attention to detail, Alli showed exactly what it takes to shine in this profession. Her creativity and drive make our team better every single day and we are so grateful. 
 
Congratulations Alli! Now get back to work! 🤣

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!

We know that a project doesn’t end when the drawings are issued—because they never truly are “done.”
 
Site visits are where design intent meets reality. During construction, we bring value by continuously evaluating options, perspectives, and sightlines—always looking for ways to transform something great into something extraordinary.
 
It’s in the details, the adjustments, and the on-the-ground collaboration where something great becomes something spectacular.

On-site at Brundage, Idaho—a new home is being framed against the backdrop of majestic mountain vistas. As the structure takes form, each beam frames not just walls, but gorgeous views of Payette’s peaks and forests.

Here’s to creating thoughtful, beautiful spaces in unforgettable places.”

Brundage Mountain sits just 8 miles northwest of McCall at 7,640 ft, offering sweeping alpine panoramas and timeless natural scenery.

A great afternoon spent at .hydepark enjoying the sunshine, refreshing drinks, and quality time with the team! 🍻☀️

Last week, Tim and Ian had the honor of traveling to Boston, MA, for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) national conference. We’re incredibly grateful to the AIA Idaho members who joined them in person and to those who supported from afar—your commitment strengthens our architectural community.

Events like these go beyond education—they’re about fostering connections, reigniting our passion for architecture, and celebrating the remarkable community we belong to.

Let’s continue uplifting one another and shaping a profession that’s more unified, resilient, and impactful for the future of our communities.
