The ML List: Top Architects & Designers 2018
Our Guide to the Best in the West
The editors of Mountain Living are pleased to present an exclusive guide to the most talented and influential architects and interior designers at work in the West today.
These designers and architects in mountain territories have worked hard to become top in their professions, and we’ve taken note of their work, along with receiving recommendations from their clients, vendors, professional organizations and readers.
Keeping our readers in mind, we’ve organized the list to be user friendly. You’ll find architects and designers listed by state and town; some architects have more than one office location and we have listed only their main corporate location. Those who were featured in Mountain Living during the past two years receive a special highlight that mentions their most recent project featured in the magazine as of J/F 2018. (Architects and designers who have been featured during the past two years but are located in an area outside of Mountain Living’s territory are grouped together at the end of the list.)
This year’s list is illustrated with a few of our favorite high-country spaces featured in the pages of Mountain Living over the past year.
