What Locati Architects does

Locati Architects is a privately-held architecture and interior design firm headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, founded in 1989. The firm provides integrated professional services across three core service lines: custom residential architecture, commercial architecture, and interior design, marketed under the combined brand Locati Architects & Interiors. Its work is concentrated in luxury mountain, ski, waterfront, and equestrian residential properties, with a secondary practice in commercial buildings such as offices and lodges. The firm's core technical competency is human-driven design (programming, conceptual design, construction documents, design development, and construction administration) anchored in deep domain expertise in mountain and rustic-elegant aesthetics and supported by BIM/Revit workflows.

The firm makes money on a project-based professional services fee model, with pricing quote-driven per engagement and not publicly disclosed. Customers are primarily high-net-worth residential clients (luxury home, ski resort, ranch, and waterfront estate projects) supplemented by select commercial property developers. Projects are sourced through a marketing mix centered on a portfolio website, a content blog, earned media (HGTV features including the 2016 Faces of Design Overall Winner and 2017 Designer of the Month), and ongoing coverage in design publications such as Architectural Digest, Mountain Living, and Robb Report. Despite a headquarters footprint of 11–50 employees, the firm states it works on projects across the United States and Canada. Awards from bodies including the American Institute of Architects, NAHB Best in American Living Awards, and Mountain Living Magazine reinforce positioning within the premium residential segment. The firm also operates Locati Edge, a community-facing youth empowerment initiative.

Direct peers

• Olson Kundig: A Spokane-based architecture and design firm famous for contemporary luxury residential and mountain projects. Olson Kundig is the closest direct peer: similar craft-led boutique model, comparable luxury/HNW clientele, deep feature presence in Architectural Digest and similar publications, and overlapping mountain/western US project geography.
• CLB Architects: Jackson Hole, Wyoming architecture firm specializing in modern mountain residential design integrated with western landscapes. Highly comparable to Locati in geography (Rocky Mountain West resort markets), luxury residential focus, and a similar boutique, award-winning studio model.
• JLF Architects: Aspen-based architecture firm with a long track record in luxury mountain residential and ranch properties. Comparable to Locati in mountain luxury niche, project-driven studio size, and emphasis on contextual, rustic-elegant design within resort communities.
• Lake|Flato Architects: Texas-based firm with a national luxury residential and resort architecture practice. Overlap with Locati includes award-winning residential design, integrated landscape and interior considerations, and a similar public-relations-led brand approach featuring press in Architectural Digest and related publications.
• Bohlin Cywinski Jackson: Multi-office architecture firm widely recognized for award-winning custom residential work alongside select commercial projects. Comparable to Locati in dedication to craft in residential design, AIA-level recognition, and recurring high-profile publication features.
