Studio Seo

What Studio Seo does

Studio Seo (operating as Neo Studio or NEOstudio) is a Denver-based architecture firm founded in 2013 by partners Michael Noda and Beata Chudobińska, providing integrated architectural design services across commercial, residential, mixed-use, hospitality, restaurant, and institutional sectors. The firm is structured as a small partner-led studio of 5–10 staff including a project manager (Daniel Wilde) and design team members, executing an estimated 50+ projects over a decade across Colorado (Denver, Vail, Boulder, Winter Park, Eagle, Aurora), Montana (Whitefish, Missoula), and Wisconsin (Wilmot). Its service offering encompasses single-family custom residences, townhomes and condominiums, for-sale residential developments, boutique and full-service hotel renovations, ski-resort base villages, restaurant buildouts, market halls, and civic/community facilities such as schools and nonprofit centers.

The firm's central methodology is its proprietary 'Design Charrette' process — intensive, real-time collaborative sessions that bring together clients, consultants, contractors, and community stakeholders to produce a cohesive design vision. This process underpins a differentiated design vocabulary including a collaboratively developed 'Urban Resort' vernacular that blends modern industrial language with craftsman and midcentury references, applied specifically to mountain-resort and ski-destination properties. Neo Studio also incorporates sustainable-design practices such as HERS index scoring (achieving a score of 50 on Koelbel Urban Townhomes) into its residential and mixed-use projects.

Commercially, Neo Studio operates a sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market anchored by repeat enterprise clients including Marriott/Luxury Collection (JW Marriott Cherry Creek, The Hythe Vail, Toro at JW Marriott), Vail Resorts Development Company (Wilmot Mountain Base Village, Lodge at Vail renovation), and Koelbel Urban Homes (Koelbel Urban Townhomes, Atlas-City Homes at Lowry, Montmere at Autrey Shores, Sloan's Edge). Project commissions are won through design competitions and direct RFP/RFQ engagement. The firm is privately held with no external investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; pricing is project-based with fees determined by scope, complexity, and square footage. The company has earned the 2022 NAHB Nationals Silver Award (Best One of a Kind Home) and consecutive 2023 and 2024 MAME Awards from the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver.
