Architecture & Interior Design in Montana
Matter is a Los Angeles architecture and interiors studio designing mountain homes in Big Sky and across Montana. We build for the landscape it sits in — homes that meet the weather, frame the peaks, and hold the warmth of a retreat you return to for generations.
A home in Montana answers to a bigger landscape: long views, deep winters, and a sense of shelter that matters more when the weather turns. We begin every project with a Discovery Session that translates how you live into a written Concept Brief, before a single line is drawn — so the house that follows is drawn to its site, its climate, and the way your family gathers in the mountains.
Our Spanish Peaks House in Big Sky is a ground-up single family mountain home organized around courtyards and framed to the range beyond — Southern European warmth brought to the Montana landscape. We plan early around site, snow, and orientation, so the design meets the mountain rather than fighting it.
Every decision earns its place. Plans, materials, and daylight are drawn, tested, and refined; then we see the work through construction, detailing, and oversight — coordinating closely with local builders so distance never compromises the result. We are not designing houses to sell in a year, but homes built to hold a family's life for decades.

Do you design homes in Big Sky and across Montana?
Yes. Our Spanish Peaks House is a ground-up single family home in Big Sky, and we take on mountain homes throughout the region.
How do you work on a project out of state?
We run the design from our Los Angeles studio and coordinate closely with local builders and consultants, with regular site presence through construction, so the oversight holds at a distance.
Do you design for mountain climates and snow loads?
Yes. We plan early around site, orientation, snow, and the demands of a mountain climate, so the home meets the landscape rather than fighting it.
