DOWLING Architects has been in business for 24 years in Helena, Montana providing architectural services throughout Montana. Teaming and Collaboration are core values that define the firm. Embracing client involvement, respecting the input of every team member and collaborating at all levels of design and project delivery are traits the firm has grown to represent. Change is inevitable. Growth is not measured in numbers but instead by how a firm chooses to define itself as a result of its work and the challenges we face. In 1995, Firm Principal Michael Dowling set out to establish a body of work within the State of Montana that would be admired and respected for its contribution to society, the public and the profession of architecture. Each and every project the firm undertakes builds on this foundation and strives to achieve greater levels of success for our clients and the specific goals they have in their endeavors. From Master Planning to the smallest addition, our clients are our most important team members.

DOWLING is committed to excellent design, quality work, and repeat clients. Our design philosophy is grounded in the idea of collaboration and integration. We engage all participants in learning about a place through its history, its people and its connections to envision a place that defines its own character. Our ability to solve problems, coordinate and organize the project team, and provide appropriate design has been the cornerstone of delivering successful projects.

Public Sector projects comprise the majority of DOWLING’S work. Working within and with communities is our passion. In the following pages we think you will see how we have provided our expertise in planning and design of important community facilities throughout Montana.
