**★★★★★ — gdyste89, Sept. 2016**

> Matt was able to capture a dream that I have had all my life. He was able to create a home that had all the necessities of a current home but the feel of a rugged 1870's home. They created a rustic, Montana, western home with reclaimed wood, heavy stone, and big log timbers. The skills that he demonstrated while working with me are qualities that a lot of other architects do not have. He was able to listen to what I wanted and then actualize that. Also, he ensured that the contractor followed the plans perfectly. He even corrected the contractor and had him tear down parts to make certain it was built the way I wanted. I had a terrific relationship with this company as they were professional, timely, organize, and did stellar work. I would give them 8 stars and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

**★★★★★ — Highline Partners, Ltd, Aug. 2016**

> Faure Halvorsen architects are on of the very best, their creativity and collaboration bolster any large scale residential project. They are great designers and facilitate projects most firms only dream of building! Simply stated, one of the best of the west!!!

> Highline Partners

**★★★★★ — Teton Heritage Builders, Aug. 2016**

> Thanks to Matt, Kipp and all of the talented folks at Faure Halvorsen Architects.  Working with visionaries like you is what keeps us pumped about building amazing homes in southwest Montana and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  Looking forward to many more projects together in the future.

**★★★★★ — Avant Building Group, Dec. 2015**

> We've worked with Faure Halvorsen Architects on several projects, and they are a joy to work with. They are artists as much as they are designers. A great, creative team to work with!

**★★★★★ — brentporlier, Aug. 2015**

> Matt Faure and his capable team nailed it. Faure Halvorsen designed our "Old Faithful" style Big Sky home and made us feel like were their most important client.
