Stateline Architects core values include a belief that architecture should respond to its particular place and be a natural partner with the environment. Emphasis is placed on extending the design beyond the structure to carefully consider each project’s place, not only the immediate site context, but the greater urban fabric and connectivity. When designing within the urban landscape, the firm brings a level of commitment and accountability to their work, providing more than a glossy design. Integrating locally-sourced materials, vernacular design, and time-tested construction appropriate to the region, Stateline No 7 Architects extends the traditional boundaries of ethicality and provides contextual structures that endure, service their function admirably, and bolster the community’s investment.

The firm’s designs evolve from an appreciation for pragmatic solutions within the honesty of modernism and remain reflective of the grittiness that persists on the high plains of Wyoming. An easy coexistence of industrial, raw, free-spirited, utilitarian and Western traditions are expressed with authentic material cladding combined with unwavering emphasis on form and function in simple rendition.

The signature of our work – in contrast to the age of prefabrication and automation - invokes the craftsmanship of the everyday tradesman; sustainability and energy conservation is achieved no-nonsensically; and client involvement for the duration of the project is essential. An unwavering emphasis on quality is mediated with a high degree of technical competence while immense pride in our work, professionalism, surprising uses of reclaimed materials, and an easy going manner guides our approach.
