Award winning architects based out of Missoula, Montana

25 years of sustainable design for a future in harmony with environment.

Motivated by our clients’ goals, we transform thoughts into built spaces that both function and provoke a connection.

Founded in 1997, MMW Architects is committed to contributing positively to the built environment, while working in harmony with the natural enivronment. We create places that enrich life’s daily rituals and activities through beauty and efficiency.

Our projects respond to the land and climate, as well as to the cultural and historic setting, revealing the inherent attributes of time and place. The play of natural light in our buildings encourages the occupant to experience the passage of seasons.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We take a holistic view of resource efficiency and sustainability in each project. Site planning, building design, systems design and material selection are interconnected facets of responsible resource efficient design. Good decisions save the owner money over the life of the building and contribute to a sustainable future.

We are able to fulfill our clients’ wishes because we are flexible and consistently work responsibly toward end goals.

We believe that Architecture has the power to make a difference in the world and are committed to creating design solutions that contribute to that philosophy in all our work.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

As designers of space, we recognize the importance of acknowledging place. MMW intends to be stewards of the community of Missoula and the surrounding area. We recognize we work in the territories of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes as well as the Blackfeet, Pend d’Oreille and Kalispel people. We honor the history and the people of the land that we inhabit.

WHO WE ARE

We are a talented group of professionals dedicated to the goals, craft and execution of our clients’ dreams. We engage in community leadership through various organizations and volunteer activities in and around our community.

We work toward our own sustainability goals by compensating employees for using alternative transportation to and from work. We visit construction sites to celebrate our work and learn from our colleagues’ experiences. And we take an afternoon off here and there to have some fun together in this beautiful part of the world we call home.
