MOUNTAIN. RANCH. COMMERCIAL. RESIDENTIAL

Formed in early 2004 Mark Weirich Architect, Inc. is a full service architectural facility; from design to construction documents, planning, consulting, site analysis and feasibility. Since that time, the firm has been primarily involved with high end residential design and construction. In addition to residential, MWA averages one commercial project per year. The majority of commercial projects have been local restaurants and bars, examples being: 14 North, Pizza Campania, Fresco Café, Bozeman Brewing and Rib & Chop (Livingston). All of these projects started as industrial type warehouses which Mark transformed into beautiful places to gather. Much of the residential work has been in the rapidly developing area of Big Sky, Montana. Including Moonlight Basin, Spanish Peaks and the Yellowstone Club. Other completed projects have been scattered all over the western U.S., including Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

While the first 15 years of MWA saw many homes being geared towards traditional rough and rustic homesteads and mountain lodges, the trend is becoming more modern/contemporary lines of Architecture but still utilizing the rustic materials and finishes that we have grown to love. Mark has adapted, and has turned out many designs of this hybrid type. Typical materials integrated into Mark's designs include, but are not limited to: timber frame, log, stone, hand hewn logs, barnwood, circular and bandsawn boards, plaster, stucco, rusty tin, corrugated metal, slate, cedar shingles, brick and mossy rock. These materials are beautifully combined through the design process to create incredible cabins, barns, ski chalets, homesteads and ranch compounds.  View portfolio.
