Andrew Brechbuhler

Brechbuhler Architects

Relying on integrity, excellence in design, and a personalized approach,
architect Andrew Brechbuhler creates high-end residential dwellings for discerning clients in Montana. Andrew believes that every home should be an organic extension of its dwellers’ lifestyles — an expectation that requires clear, personal communication with each client. Translating industry jargon into layperson’s terms, Andrew makes one-on-one collaboration effortless, allowing clients to take as large or small a role in the design-build process as they desire. With every facet of the architectural process personally handled by Andrew, clients benefit from a clear, masterful evolution of design.

Andrew’s forward-thinking architectural approach draws from over 12 years of experience in creative, site-sensitive design. He incorporates regional building materials (like native stone, timber and wood) while respecting the inherent challenges and advantages of each particular homesite. Thanks to his LEED accreditation, Andrew also gracefully implements the latest green and energy efficient practices. Blending hand drawings with CAD technology, Andrew’s construction documents are both remarkably detailed and efficiently delivered.

The end result? Exceptional, thoughtfully-built spaces that are both architecturally innovative and personally satisfying to their inhabitants — an outcome that can only be achieved with conscientious communication and thorough, personal connections with clients.
