Artifact | Design Studio

Artifact is a residential design studio based in Missoula, Montana, founded by Robert and Kiri Arndt. We design custom homes across the Mountain West and Pacific Northwest, blending modern architecture with natural materials, craftsmanship, and a strong connection to place. With backgrounds in both architecture, construction, and custom woodworking, we bring a hands-on approach to every project. Our homes are designed to be as beautiful as they are buildable—balancing clean lines and thoughtful details with comfort, performance, and lasting value. We work closely with each client from first sketch to final detail, tailoring the process to your site, your lifestyle, and the way you want to live. Because we take on a limited number of projects each year, we’re able to stay deeply involved and provide the personal attention your home deserves. Whether it’s a forever home in the mountains, a waterfront retreat, or a family pavilion tucked into the trees, our goal is simple: to create a custom home that feels deeply yours—designed around your life, your land, and the way you want to live.
