308 LLC

What 308 LLC does

308 LLC is a privately held, boutique architecture and design firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The firm is founded and led by Christy Riggs, AIA, a licensed architect in Colorado, Wyoming, Indiana, and Arizona with over 20 years of experience. The practice operates as a design-led studio delivering architectural design, documentation, code review, interior design, space planning, project management, 3D visualization, and concept planning services to clients across four primary verticals: high-end residential, hospitality (notably boutique hotels), restaurants, and non-profit/community-based organizations, with additional work in multi-family and offices/retail. Notable commercial projects include a dual-brand Marriott hotel under construction in Colorado Springs.

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional services fees structured per project by scope, complexity, and type, with a phased engagement model spanning initial consultation, proposal, design development, and construction administration. The client mix spans enterprise hospitality operators, mid-market restaurant operators, SMB private residential clients, and non-profit organizations. The firm employs approximately 33 people per firmographic data (with a smaller publicly identified core team including an architectural designer and a summer intern), supported by consulting engineering partners for structural, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines. Technology is limited to standard architectural tools including 3D visualization (Enscape) and CAD/design documentation, with no proprietary AI/ML capabilities.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, relying on portfolio presentation, press coverage, referrals, and free initial consultations rather than paid marketing. Operating geography is concentrated in Colorado, with projects spanning the front range (Colorado Springs, Denver, Wheat Ridge, Pueblo, Monument, Palmer Lake) and western mountain communities (Durango, Pagosa Springs, Ridgway, Steamboat Springs area). The firm is founder-owned, bootstrapped, and privately held with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company.
