ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS: Industrial Element Caps Custom Interiors

The unsung heroes of our designs.

Look up — an instinct we encourage as many unsung details live in the rafters of our designs. And in the atrium of our office in downtown Bozeman. Sunbeams beckon visitors’ eyes skyward, and when they do tilt their gaze, they may be surprised to find a mighty fan dangling above their heads. With blades tipped in red, our Big Ass Fan speaks to our affinity for material juxtaposition: Surrounded by the restored masonry of the century-old structure (originally the Bozeman National Bank), the aluminum appendage adds an industrial edge to our office. A striking aesthetic statement within the otherwise serene professional space, the fan also speaks to green ingenuity: What began as an industrial fixture has since grown in scope to encompass residential solutions. No matter the season, our Big Ass Fan makes our office feel temperate, recirculating warm and cool air alike while reducing our monthly bills (by as much as 30%). That’s a big-ass boost to our bottom-line.
