Plan your next mountain renovation.

This project in Big Sky, MT starts with what you don’t usually see first: steel-supported floor framing and heavy timber structure that form the base for a future second floor and outdoor living space. The goal is a more solid, efficient lodge with new rooms and porches oriented to the views, without losing the original log character.

Design by drinkwineDESIGNS, built with in the field.

If you’re thinking about an addition, a rebuild after damage, or a better way to live in your mountain home, we’d be happy to start the conversation.

Coming this fall to Big Sky, Montana, this mountain home is in the middle of a full inside‑and‑out refresh.

We’re:
Creating a hardworking mudroom and new transition space so boots, skis, dogs, and gear have a real landing zone.

Expanding the rear porch and patio to pull everyday life closer to the trees and snow.

Reworking the living room and kitchen so gathering, cooking, and views all line up.

The sketches in this carousel are our roadmap; the framing photos show how the design is taking shape on site. Follow along for progress updates over the summer and a finished-home look this fall.

Big news — drinkwineDESIGNS is now officially based in Bozeman! 🏔️

We've opened a local office at 102 N. Church Ave. in downtown Bozeman. We've been working with clients in the Bozeman and Big Sky area for some time, and having a dedicated space here means we can show up more fully — faster site visits, in-person meetings, and deeper investment in the projects and communities we're designing for.

If you're planning a custom home, addition, or renovation in southwest Montana, we'd love to connect in person.

The World Cup is here — and we can't help but look at the buildings. ⚽🏟️

Great stadiums and great homes have more in common than you'd think. Sightlines. Flow. How people move through a space. The way light hits at just the right moment.

Design at every scale starts with the same question: how do you want to feel when you're here?

That's what we ask on every drinkwineDESIGNS project — whether it's a custom home in Bozeman or an addition on the Front Range.

A lot of people think an architect draws the plans. That's the smallest part of what we do.

On a renovation project, the work starts long before anything gets designed. We visit the home, walk every room, and measure what's there — ceiling heights, wall locations, window positions, structural conditions. We pay attention to where the light falls, how the spaces flow, what the home wants to be.

That site visit isn't a formality. It's where the real design thinking begins.

The difference between a renovation that looks added-on and one that feels intentional? It usually comes down to how well the architect understood the existing home before touching it.

Thinking about a renovation or addition in Colorado or Montana? Start the conversation early.

Before a single line gets drawn, we take time to understand the land.

Sun angle. Views. Slope. Drainage. Wind direction. Where the neighbors are — and where they aren't. Every one of those variables shapes a home before the design process even begins.

The best homes don't fight their site. They grow from it. That's the drinkwineDESIGNS approach — grounded in place from day one.

If you're planning a custom build or major renovation in Colorado or Montana, reach out early. The conversations that happen before design starts are often the most valuable ones.

3 questions to answer before you call an architect

You don’t need a perfect brief before you reach out. But spending a little time with these questions can make that first conversation a lot more helpful.

1️⃣ What isn’t working today? Think about bottlenecks: entries, kitchens, bedrooms, storage, or circulation that frustrate you.
2️⃣ How do you want to live differently? More light, better connection to outdoors, space for guests or aging parents, a real gear/mudroom, room to work from home.
3️⃣ What’s your realistic budget and timeline? A ballpark range and any fixed dates (school years, leases, life events) help shape the right path.

At drinkwineDESIGNS, we use answers like these as a starting point to help homeowners in Colorado and Montana figure out what’s possible—and what makes the most sense to do first.

3 small design decisions that make a home feel custom

Not every “custom” move is a big, expensive gesture. Often, it’s the small decisions that change how your home feels day to day.

1️⃣ Entry and mudroom that match your life – Hooks, benches, and storage planned around how your family actually comes and goes (kids, dogs, skis, bikes, bags).
2️⃣ Daylight where it matters most – Windows and skylights tuned to kitchen work zones, stairs, and hallways so the house feels bright without relying on lights all day.

3️⃣ Storage that’s built-in, not an afterthought – Pantries, linen closets, and gear nooks sized for real stuff, so surfaces stay clear and rooms feel calm.

At drinkwineDESIGNS, we focus on these kinds of details from the start so homes in Colorado and Montana feel tailored, not just “on trend.”

3 reasons to talk to an architect before you buy land

In Colorado and Montana, not every “dream lot” is a dream to build on. Before you fall in love with a piece of land, it helps to know what’s actually possible.

1️⃣ Understand what you can really build – We look at slope, access, setbacks, utilities, and code so you have a realistic picture of house size, driveway, and foundations.

2️⃣ Plan for views, light, and privacy – We study orientation, neighboring homes, and topography so living spaces capture the best light and outlooks, not the worst glare or sightlines.

3️⃣ Avoid costly site surprises later – Early review can flag drainage, easements, or tricky soils before you close, not after you’ve started design or construction.

At drinkwineDESIGNS, we help buyers in Colorado’s Front Range and Montana evaluate land so their future home fits the site, the budget, and the way they want to live.

3 reasons we love designing in Colorado and Montana

Designing homes in the Rockies isn’t just about views. It’s about listening to the land and the way people actually live here.

1️⃣ Light and landscape shape every decision—big skies, long views, and strong sun mean we’re always thinking about orientation, shade, and glare.
2️⃣ Mountain weather demands better envelopes: insulation, roofs, and details that stand up to snow, wind, and big temperature swings.
3️⃣ The lifestyle is different here—gear rooms, outdoor connections, and spaces that flex for work, guests, and multi‑generational family time.

At drinkwineDESIGNS, we design custom homes and renovations across Colorado’s Front Range and Montana’s mountain towns that feel like they truly belong to their sites and their owners.
