Glancey Rockwell & Associates

What Glancey Rockwell & Associates does

Glancey Rockwell & Associates is a privately-held, full-service architectural design firm headquartered at 1257 W River St, Suite 110, Boise, Idaho. Founded in 2001 through the combination of James T. Glancey's and Peter H. Rockwell's respective practices around the design of Holy Apostles Catholic Church in Meridian, Idaho, the firm has operated continuously for more than 22 years. It serves residential, commercial, multi-family, religious, and aviation clients, with a particular concentration in Idaho and the broader Pacific Northwest/Mountain West, and is licensed to practice in Idaho, Montana, Ohio, and Washington.

The firm delivers services across five vertical practice areas: Residential (custom homes, cabins, renovations), Commercial (offices, retail, healthcare, industrial), Multi-Family (apartments, senior living, townhomes), Religious (churches, parish halls), and Aviation (corporate jet hangars, FBO facilities). Its production stack is built around Building Information Modeling using Archicad, supplemented by Twinmotion and other 3D rendering tools for visualization and client communication. The current principals are James Glancey, Ryan McColly, and David Glancey, who took over leadership after Peter Rockwell's retirement in 2022; principals remain actively involved in all project phases, working directly with clients, design consultants, and contractors.

Glancey Rockwell & Associates operates a sales-led, relationship-driven professional services model, earning revenue through project-based design fees on multi-year engagements that are quoted per project. The firm relies on direct client engagement, referrals, word-of-mouth, and testimonials rather than a structured marketing or sales pipeline. Its client base spans individual homeowners, small businesses, real estate developers, general contractors (e.g., McAlvain Construction, Kreizenbeck Constructors, CSDI Construction), religious organizations (e.g., Valley Shepherd Church of the Nazarene), and government agencies (e.g., Idaho Department of Fish & Game), with several multi-decade client relationships and publication features in regional and national trade press.
