“A testament of skill and dedication”

Mountain West Architecture has been an outstanding partner in transforming our vision into reality. They tackled the challenge of an adaptive reuse of a commercial historic space into a mixed-use, environment that perfectly aligns with our brand identity. Their innovative approach not only met our aesthetic goals but also adhered strictly to our budget constraints. From start to finish, working with Mountain West Architecture has been an exceptional experience. Their team’s expertise, attention to detail, and commitment tp excellence have consistently exceeded our expectations. We chose Mountain West Architecture for their full suite of services, which included everything from initial concept renderings to detailed construction drawings, as well as construction administration. They seamlessly coordinated all aspects of the project, including structural, mechanical,, plumbing, and electrical engineering. Thanks to Mountain West Architecture, our new mixed-use building is a testament to their skill and dedication. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result and look forward to collaborating with them on future projects.

“Think outside the box”

We’ve had the opportunity to work with MWA on several occasions now. In each case, they’ve been able to think outside the box to help us get these historic structures back in use and up to current building code in ways that allow us to keep the original historic character and charm.

“Transformed idea to realized project”

Working with Mountain West Architecture was an absolute pleasure. What began as just an idea was transformed into a fully realized project thanks to their expertise. They were instrumental in the creative stages, helping us develop functional space usage and bringing forth innovative ideas and concepts that we eagerly implemented. As this was my first project, their guidance was invaluable. They provided conceptual renderings, construction drawings, interior design, and construction administration. Mountain West Architecture also coordinated the structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineering, along with the landscape design. I want to express my deep appreciation for their attention to detail, timeliness in answering questions, and prompt delivery of renderings and other essential information.

“Clever solutions”

Mountain West came up with some clever solutions for a unique space by converting a manufacturing space to a high tech modern space in one of our existing buildings. They designed the improvements in a way that met our tenant’s expectations and stayed within the needed budget. It was a wonderful project.

“Confidence, creativity, experience”

Here is what makes Mountain West Architecture unique! They do not start with a predetermined, cookie-cutter plan and try to force a congregation’s ministry plan to adapt to the facility. Rather, they design the facility for the ministry plan. They are committed to a collaborative process, meaning they are patient with a client, using superior verbal skills and written and visual communications, which  help guide their patron to a malleable and budget-conscious design. They have confidence, creativity, experience and volumes of information, helping to create what the customer needs and can afford today, while visualizing how that plan can be to adapted to what they need to fulfill their ministry plan in the future. Finally, they can help you be a good steward of your resources. Check Mark and his team out. We have and are glad we did.

“Worked within our budget and timeline”

Our church wanted to renovate and expand some key areas and revisit the master plan for our property. We heard about Mountain West Architects through someone in the Audio Visual industry who had worked with MWA on previous projects. He highly recommended MWA. Mountain West Architects was phenomenal in working within our budget and timeline, yet stretched our vision of what could be done. They listened to our needs, addressed our concerns quickly and helped us accomplish more than we thought possible. We look forward to working with MWA again.

“Their listening skills are great”

Mountain West’s listening skills are as great as their architectural abilities. They created a forum where all of our people could talk and be heard. Gradually a common vision emerged. Mountain West learned the church’s history and its hopes for the future. They gave us a facility that will accommodate our ministry into the next half-century.
