Architectural Expertise
Over 20 Years of Thoughtfully Designed Homes
Whether you’re building a home for a young family, a vacation getaway, or a forever home, Marland Architecture specializes in helping people make intentional choices for homes that are right-sized, environmentally responsible and budget conscious. Every family and lifestyle is different, and that’s why it's so important to take the time to understand your vision. My goal is to design beautiful and healthy homes that will work for you now and into the future, while maximizing the potential of your build site and minimizing environmental impact.
My Architectural Vision
My approach is about simplicity and smart, energy-efficient design. Here are some of the ways I think about home design:
Site Integration
Homes should fit with the natural landscape. I want your home to be thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of the land and the beautiful Montana views.Harnessing The Sun
Smart placement of windows and the orientation of the roof lets nature do the work by brightening rooms, warming spaces, and maximizing passive and active solar potential.Energy Efficiency
Careful selection of insulation, mechanical systems, electrical and plumbing fixtures, and appliances work together to save energy, improve comfort and lower utility costs.Aging in Place & Accessibility
Living, sleeping and bathing spaces that incorporate features that enhance accessibility will help you enjoy your new home for years to come.Balancing Cost & Durability
Your home deserves materials that last. I’ll suggest options that balance quality and initial cost while considering long term maintenance needs and return on investment.Sustainable Design Elements
The Home Design Process
At Marland Architecture, my goal is to make the home design process collaborative and enjoyable, from the first meeting to completion. We'll discuss your vision, budget, needs and dreams, and together, go from design concepts to detailed construction plans. Learn more about what working together looks like on the Design Process page.
