BOULDER, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Stillwater Architecture, known for its boutique approach to custom home design in the Rocky Mountain West, announces the principal-led custom home service tailored for homeowners in Boulder, Colorado and Big Sky, Montana.

"A home is never just a structure—it's the backdrop for life's most meaningful moments," said Robert Gilbert, founding principal at Stillwater Architecture. "From the first conversation to the final walk-through, clients work directly with a founding principal. We immerse ourselves in every detail to ensure their vision is honored."

Unlike traditional firms, Stillwater Architecture clients enjoy a direct, personal partnership with one of the founding principals—Robert Gilbert or Michael Donohue.
