Our Practice:
“People often ask, "What’s your style?" Perhaps it's because so many architecture firms want their "styles" to be easily identified. We want to achieve our client’s style.”
45 Architecture was originally co-founded in 2014 in Bozeman by Benjamin Erickson and then later joined by Architect, Jeff Lusin. Ben and Jeff have been fortunate to add many talented 45 team members throughout
the years. The purpose our practice resides in achieving our client’s needs. 45 combines the intimacy and one-on-one mentoring environment as a small practice but with the extensive knowledge of a major design firm. Our goal is to always give each project the time and attention it needs to be successful and achieve the needs of our client. Our reputation is based on the personal relationships we develop with our clients, and we carefully and constantly monitor our workload throughout our firm to make sure we have the time to develop these strong partnerships and to do our work to the best of our abilities. Our design approach focuses on the occupants of our design. We strive to create buildings and homes that transcend function to transform places and improve people’s lives. Our style is a reflection of our clients. Every client is different, and therefore so is every project. Ideally, our work is a reflection of you, your style, way of life, site and budget. We use our expertise and ingenuity to create your space. It’s also our job to tell you honestly what your property or budget will or won’t allow. We honor our word, demonstrate active trust and make principled decisions. We approach design as a process that combines problem-solving, research and invention. Our definition of architecture embraces planning, programming, landscape architecture and interior design as being intimately intertwined in producing our work. We work for the client and want to achieve their design goals
