What We Do
Chief Architect Premier
With incredible live rendering capabilities, Chief Architect Premier ensures efficient drafting and high-quality renders that showcase the best (and worst) aspects of a design in dynamic conditions.
Premium clients can walk-through and view their 3D model during the course of design.
Matterport Pro2/Pro3
Our fleet of Matterport Pro2 + Pro3 cameras, along with traditional measuring tools, assure that every detail of your project is recorded in one seamless visit.
A Matterport scan is just steps away from being an accurate canvas for your design.
Digital Reach
While we focus on Colorado and the West Coast, we leverage remote work & coworking spaces to provide services outside of our core and flexibility to our clients, regardless of location.
Often times, a local’s touch is what turns a house into a home.
No Project’s Too Small
Our goal: bring your vision to life. From patio covers to duplexes, we'll help you realize your idea with a tailored package.

Visualisations provide accurate images reflecting your design decisions in dynamic and geographically realistic lighting.
Construction Documents are finalized and engineered* documents that comply with applicable code, zoning, and environmental overlays.
Vision First
To be transparent, there are no licensed architects at Mountain West Modeling. We stick to our vision first, which is providing residential design services for ADUs, additions, remodels, single-family residences, and “low density” multi-unit residences.
In the interest of providing efficient and cost-effective services, we do not design buildings or accessory structures that falls outside of the scope of Section 133.1. We recommend contacting a Licensed Architect and/or Engineer for any buildings/accessory structures that are not contained within Section 133.1, Subsection 2 of 2022 Denver BFC.
Restrictions Second
Where We Work
The Rocky Mountain State is our home base of operations and source of inspiration. Challenging terrain, diverse seasons, and soaring peaks like the ones found here are hard to find anywhere else. All of our designs come with a taste of what makes this place special in them.
Colorado adopted new Residential Energy Code Provisions, which fit the state’s four climate zones: Mixed Dry, Cold (5), Cold (6), and Very Cold. Sustainability is a core aspect of our passion for residential design. Even if a Passive House is not your goal, we will use our domestic expertise to design a cost-effective, buildable, and sustainable solution with you.
With some of the harshest building conditions in the country, our designs are custom-made to ensure livability, longevity, and long-term sustainability.
We focus on providing services along the Front Range, I-70 Corridor, and in Garfield County. Depending on the season, we consider services in other regions of Colorado on a case-by-case basis. Remote services are always offered.
Colorado
The Pacific Northwest is a region filled with natural wonders. Home to Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood, and the largest domestic evergreen and pine forests, many love to call Washington and Oregon home. It’s not hard to imagine why.
Washington State has two climate zones: Marine and Cold (5). Washington also has many shorelines, coastlines, wetlands, and other environmentally (and socially) critical areas. We have developed a strong record of managing projects that work through these challenges with effectiveness and efficiency. Oregon is similar to Washington, but has it’s key differences (including three climate zones).
We have worked with agencies including Seattle Department of Constructions & Inspections (SDCI), Department of Ecology (SEPA, SMP), and the following counties: Multnomah, Bellevue, Snohomish, Pierce, Cowlitz, Mason, and Skagit.
We are presently reducing our presence in Washington, but are still accepting clients until 2025.
