Keith Anderson is a Licensed AIA Bozeman, Montana architect who began his career designing custom residential in Jackson, WY, with a flair for mountain elegance; then broadened his skills to include resort and ranch planning, commercial design and public work, including university, cultural and educational buildings. Over the last decade, Keith’s design focus has returned to the craft of custom, legacy residential architecture. Professionally, this is an opportunity for him to participate in a timeless and ancient craft: the creation of shelter and the warmth of the hearth. His love of natural elements and light, expressed abundantly in his plans, inspires him to design environmentally sensitive, refined and organic homes that will remain integrated into the natural landscape for many generations. His Mountain Contemporary, Rustic Alpine and Elegant Craftsman traditional homes are located in many notable Rocky Mountain Resort locations such as Jackson Wyoming, Big Sky Montana (Yellowstone Club) and Bozeman Montana.

He's attentive, responsive and > always has creative solutions to offer. He brings an artist's sensibility to his work as well as a historical perspective to architecture. > We appreciated his sense of humor throughout our project and highly recommend his services. **★★★★★ — George Myers, May 2017** > Working with Keith was a wonderful experience! He has a very affable, low-ego personality, a high standard of character, and a team player. Importantly, he listens to the client and builder for ways the enhance the total scope of the project. His artistic background coupled with a keen instinct for the aesthetic, while understanding and respecting the ethos of the land/place is a very rare talent. Given KA Architecture is a boutique shop, clients receive his full attention and work product is delivered on a timely basis. Keith's fee structure is very commensurate and fair. **★★★★★ — BillFieldstead, May 2017** > I would enthusiastically recommend Keith Anderson for any and all architectural needs in exclusive home design. I have known Keith for many years, have viewed multiple projects that he had guided and directed and have continually been impressed as to how his hands on creative, yet practical, skill sets carry the day. Keith takes ownership of every aspect, presents options, details the effects, then proceeds as if the answer was an obvious given. Sophisticated results in architecture occur as a result of experience, bold suggestion and personal commitment to the completed result. In Keith Anderson you can be assured of all the components necessary to produce a finished product to be proud of upon completion and for decades to come. > > We are fortunate to have some of the most accomplished architectural talents in the country here in our Rocky Mountain back yard. Keith, uniquely, cuts through the hype and falls in love with the task. I couldn't recommend him any more enthusiastically. **★★★★★ — Ken Moffet, Feb. 2017** > We interviewed several firms before hiring Keith Anderson and KA Architecture to design our home at the Yellowstone Club in Montana. Keith brought added levels of creativity to the initial design process which others didn't. He is as much an artist as an architect, creating interiors and exteriors for our rustic mountain home (in round logs, reclaimed hewn, and stone) which were both functional and visually striking. His experience as an architect is wide ranging and he is well versed in historical references supporting his ideas. We'd also rate Keith and his firm highly on accessibility and being attentive to client needs/objectives......including the budget. > > This past summer, our family decided to build a new Montana home on a larger scale and hired KA again based upon our prior experience. Look forward to breaking ground May '17. **★★★★★ — Cleve Johnson, Feb. 2017** > Keith is a talented artist and architect. He has designed a beautiful western home for our family. I 100% recommend him for your project. ## Selected projects - [Andesite Ridge Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/andesite-ridge-residence-pj-vj~2240826) - Location: Big Sky, MT - Photos: 22 - Description: At 8,000 foot altitude this 4300 square foot home qualifies as a true mountain home. The owner and his family are from Houston and spend much of the summer in the mountains as a retreat from the heat of Texas. The design features two sod roofs and a detached cabin linked by a dining breezeway. The entire home is reclaimed wood and has a unique intimacy as well as expansive views. The home is heated by radiant heat with seven geothermal wells, making it one of the most efficient projects at the Y… - [Eagle Rock Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eagle-rock-residence-pj-vj~554708) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 39 - Description: An orthopedic surgeon and his wife asked me to design a 3400 square foot home with a rustic exterior but a bright light interior, using European plaster, dark reclaimed beams sparsely set throughout the home, an antique French stone mantle and a culinary kitchen.

The home itself overlooks a draw of mature aspens a… - [Cottonwood Preserve](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cottonwood-preserve-pj-vj~554671) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 13 - Description: A retired executive from Disney purchased 120 acres in Cottonwood Canyon. We designed three ponds, a main house and two cabins. The 1200 square foot cabin was built first; and as such the clients have decided that it fit their needs perfectly. The second cabin has a chef's kitchen and provides a lovely space for cooking classes, as well private quarters for guests. The main cabin is a "re-stack", which means the building is essentially similar to the original size of the old reclaimed cabin used… - [Buffalo River](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buffalo-river-pj-vj~554682) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: The red clay country of Tennessee and the Buffalo river is home to Shepherd Glen. A modest series of buildings include a reconstructed cabin for writing (writer's cabin), a main cabin with a culinary kitchen that opens onto two geo-thermal ponds supplying cooling and heating to all the buildings and a bunk cabin to sleep six. With a 20 year-old daughter in a wheelchair, the entire compound as well as the pond had to be accessible. Most of the stone and wood was sourced locally and constructed wi… - [KA Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ka-studio-pj-vj~554649) - Location: Bozeman, MT - Photos: 5 - Description: Built in the center of 60 spruce trees, the studio measures 12’x 84’. The main studio area houses a gallery and three work stations; while a small breezeway connects it to a separate bunk house. Due to the proximity of the trees the studio is set on concrete piers to avoid disturbing the roots. It is heated by a wood stove and electric back up. The vaulted ceilings are 14’ high at the peak, while the floors are wide plank Yellow Heart Pine. The many windows all around allow bountiful natural lig… - [Jack Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jack-creek-pj-vj~2266956) - Location: Big Sky, MT - Photos: 5 - Description: This family estate is located near Jack Creek south of Big Sky, and sits on a migratory elk and grizzly trail.

This project was done in association with PDG. - [Cape Porpoise, Maine](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cape-porpoise-maine-pj-vj~2266949) - Location: Kennebunkport, ME - Photos: 19 - Description: A small white clapboard turn of the century home was in dire need of renovation; and because it was non-conforming (too close to the water) we could not demolish the home and begin anew. Even the ridge was within inches of the legal height ordinance. We expanded the home using deep tall cantilevered bay windows, a series of terraces, a breezeway and a garage with an office above. The design used cherry wood, Purple Heart wood details, chestnut flooring and native Maine granite. A small second st… - [Gallery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gallery-pj-vj~1167739) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Planning](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/planning-pj-vj~1167783) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Pelican Lake, Wisconsin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pelican-lake-wisconsin-pj-vj~2266971) - Location: Pelican Lake, WI - Photos: 3 - Description: This Pelican Lake property is on a series of contiguous lots knitted together to create a historical family compound. It includes a tennis court, six slips for antique Chris Craft boats, a large gathering lawn and porches that spread out towards the lake's beach. This home features a retractable roof for a telescope that opens up from a small tower above the dining hall toward exquisite views. This project was done in association with PDG. - [Whitefish Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitefish-lake-pj-vj~2266980) - Location: Whitefish, MT - Photos: 5 - Description: In designing this light-filled Whitefish Lake House, I drew from the Arts and Crafts Era. A stone chimney became the centerpiece, with a tower that looked south toward Glacier National Park. A steeply sloping site posed challenges that became creative design features of a home tucked into the hillside with two stories of windows overlooking Whitefish Lake. - [Eagle's Nest, North Carolina](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eagle-s-nest-north-carolina-pj-vj~2266987) - Location: Banner Elk, NC - Photos: 10 - [MT Swiss](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mt-swiss-pj-vj~2266975) - Location: Big Sky, MT - Photos: 5 - Description: This Swiss/Austrian style home was designed with a simple, bold roof form with an underground parking garage and a guest cabin. The composition of the buildings mimics a small mountain-side European compound. The exterior details are inspired by alpine European architecture, while the interiors are a consistent tone of muted whites and dark wood beams. The furnishings are simple, built of wood, leather and other natural materials. This project was done in association with PDG.
