About the Firm
Since the establishment of Michael Fuller’s architecture practice in the Roaring Fork Valley over 25 years ago, the firm has operated as a small design studio that focused on residential and commercial projects noted for inspirational design, environmental awareness, and vernacular architectural styles – taking its design keys from regional architecture and the use of indigenous forms and materials. At MF[a] we seek to create projects that connect to nature, culture, and history in a way that makes the relationship between structure and place more enlivening.
Michael Fuller Architects is a full service architectural practice that has consistently produced quality projects with exceptional service and professionalism – from project inception through design, and final construction. Our firm’s work ranges from single-family residences, hotels, and educational, religious and commercial buildings. These projects celebrate the human affinity and desire for connection to the natural world beyond simple functionality. Our projects reflect a variety of design characters and styles that we re-interpret into solutions that have an enduring quality beyond the ebb and flow of current design fashion. Our designs celebrate the expressive nature of materials.
I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster and leaves less room for lies. – Le Corbusier
