What Bryan May Architecture+Interiors does

Bryan May Architecture+Interiors (BMAI), legally Bryan May Architecture LLC, is a boutique architecture and interior design firm headquartered at 501 Rio Grande Place, Suite 109 in Aspen, Colorado. Founded by Bryan May, AIA/NCARB — previously a Project Architect at Rowland + Broughton — the firm operates with a core team of approximately five professionals: two architects (Bryan May and Adam Link), a designer (Zach Stuermer), an interior designer (Tarryn Link), and a team member (Abby Loftus). BMAI delivers full-spectrum services spanning architectural design, interior design, project management, and permitting support for residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, historic, prefab, and community projects. Its client base comprises affluent residential owners in the Aspen/Roaring Fork Valley, internationally recognized luxury brands (Hublot, Christian Louboutin), hospitality and fitness operators (Ritual, Duemani, Element 47), and municipal clients (Town of Basalt).

BMAI generates revenue through professional services fees, typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or hourly rates on a per-project basis following initial consultation. The firm runs a relationship-driven, sales-led go-to-market motion, sourcing work via direct client engagement, referrals from luxury brand and builder networks, and an organic digital presence on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and a periodic email newsletter. Specialized capabilities include historic restoration (e.g., 1890s miner's cabins, the 419 project), prefab/modular design in collaboration with Phoenix Haus (notably on the Sopris project), luxury retail pop-up design, and community/civic structures. The firm is licensed to operate nationally and internationally, with completed projects in Aspen, Basalt, Grand Junction, Crested Butte, and Lexington, Virginia. Active engagements continue through 2025-2026, including the Sopris residential project, Digital Bridge Aspen, and multiple Red Mountain ground-up homes, supported by a stable ecosystem of repeat construction and engineering partners.
