Top Mountain Architects - HMH Architecture

Our guide to the best in the West

January 13, 2022 ML Staff

The 2022 ML List, compiled by the editors of Mountain Living, is different from past years.

We have broken the list into two parts: you will find our list of Top Mountain Architects here.

Interior Designers will have their own list appearing in the M/J 2022 issue. As the number of interior designers and architects working in the Rocky Mountain West has grown, so has the number of firms on the list. So we felt it was important to create two lists to give them the attention they deserve.

These architects in mountain territories have worked hard to become top in their professions, and we’ve taken note of their work, along with receiving recommendations from their clients, vendors, professional organizations and readers.

Keeping our readers in mind, we’ve organized the list to be user friendly. You’ll find architects listed by state and town; some architects have more than one office location, and we have listed only their main corporate location.

Those who were featured in Mountain Living during the past two years receive a special highlight that mentions their most recent projects in the magazine as of January/February 2022. Architects who have been featured during the past two years but are located in an area outside of Mountain Living’s territory are grouped together at the end of the list.

This year’s list is illustrated with a few of our favorite high-country spaces featured in the pages of Mountain Living over the past year.

Sarah Piampiano

When we bought our home in Louisville in December 2020, we knew that we had a big project in front of us. We had a few key goals: to get the... absolute most out of the relatively limited space (1800 sq ft), yet also make it feel open and versatile. We wanted something that was modern, had clean, crisp lines and also felt warm and welcoming. We kept saying "scadanavian farmhouse". The result was something we love. HMH delivered on our vision and more. One of the things that we enjoyed most about working with HMH was the way they clearly stayed within the lines of our goals while simultaneously encouraging us to consider design elements that we would not have envisioned ourselves but that we ultimately totally love. For example, HMH designed a new metal staircase that was green - a real centerpiece for our home. Both the design and the color felt risky. But we trusted their direction and it is one of our favorite parts of our home. It is unique and beautiful and something different to what you typically see. We are so appreciative to HMH and the team for their willingness to create something spectacular, but also make beautiful design accessible to a young family. THANK YOU!read more

If I only had one word to describe the HMH team it would be AWESOME.We have dreamed of building a mountain home for years. HMH helped us bring that... dream to life. It is not too strong to say that we felt like they literally cared as much as they would if they were building it for themselves! Their passion, fierce talent and kindness made the process a joy and resulted in a home we adore.Thank you so much, HMH.read more

Allison Farrand

HMH designed a beautiful house for us, we could not be more pleased with the results. All the spaces in the house are well dimensioned and well... utilized, and the house has a great feel. The whole design process was easy, timely and smooth. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!read more

Biff Trout

Great architecture begins with creative talent, great relationships, and a clear focus.After searching 3 years for an architectural firm that... balanced strong aesthetics, good operational processes, & a hip/upbeat atmosphere, we were fortunate to find HMH and Harvey.Our very first custom home was worked on at a distance. Harvey was always available thru emails, phone calls, site visits, and the HOUZZ app. He kept us on track with our artistic vision, value engineering, and practical solutions. His delightful sense of humor made the learning curve painless.We only wish there were more houses to build, they would certainly be with HMH and Harvey!The Olson's.read more
