**★★★★★ — Hill M, Dec. 2016**

> Kris and her team are amazing. She listens and is thoughtful in her approach. Stayed on budget which is unheard of. Her attention to detail was wonderful and finding right materials at a good price was a bonus.
> She found me a builder that was on time and on budget with no drama.
> I will always use Kris as my go-to architect. No better in Telluride !!

**★★★★★ — gneyens, July 2015**

> Kris Perpar, owner of Shift Architects, is a delight to work with.  She was very hands-on and involved with our project, from the original architectural design to the final interior finishes.  Her knowledge and resourcefulness are extremely valuable. She has a terrific understanding of the challenges paramount to designing and building a home in the mountains. Kris fully understood our vision and worked with us to design our beautiful modern rustic home.
