Seven Sushi"From the very first introduction to Seven’s owners, I learned that this restaurant has a very devoted following. Could we draw their loyal customers all the way across town to a new space? The owners had absolute confidence and contagious enthusiasm for their mission. The space is inside the century-old Bozeman Pea Cannery. We wanted to highlight the refurbished structure of the building. With a mixed palette of weathered wood and refined traditional Japanese shoji doors, the uncluttered space gives a nod to Asian minimalism. The restaurant is served by a bustling 2,000-square foot kitchen, which is equipped with cutting edge equipment and workflow processes. The attention to detail apparent in each dish at Seven Sushi reflects the care and focus paralleled in the creation of the space and atmosphere."

Painted Hills Home"It all started with a conversation. Lynn and I met at dog training class. We both had rescue dogs from the Dillon animal shelter. After many group dog walks, our dogs were comfortable with each other enough that we could focus to chat and get to know each other. She and her husband had some ideas for updating their Bozeman home and improving the functionality for the way they live. We made a few simple moves with moving walls and doors. It was a process of discovery and subtraction to get down to clean contemporary lines and adding back durable, timeless finishes. Their house now reflects their modern, elegant taste and active lifestyle."

Zephyr Cycling Studio"I met Carolyn Williams through builder Andy Rowe. Andy’s building had a raw tenant space that Carolyn fell in love with for its tall glass-and-light filled entry and loft space. Carolyn’s clients are 'like family', and she wanted to provide a welcoming, uplifting setting for them to enjoy. The clarity of this project reflects Carolyn’s passion in life: spin cycling. We had a straightforward purpose, a limited amount of space, and a finite budget. Every move was made with single-mindedness. The simple lightness of the space contradicts/belies the complexity of the functions it holds."

"Allison worked with my husband and I on the first floor renovation of our house. She listened to our ideas, gave input, and drew up plans based on our conversations. She accompanied me to design centers, gave input on materials, and worked with our contractor to answer any questions. Allison is professional in all aspects of her work, and we appreciated her knowledge and genuine interest in our project." - Lynn M.
