Relying on integrity, excellence in design, and a personalized approach, Architect Andrew Brechbuhler creates high-end residential homes for discerning clients in Montana. Andrew believes that every home should be an organic extension of its clients’ lifestyles — an expectation that requires clear, personal communication with each client. Translating industry jargon into layperson’s terms, Andrew makes one-on-one collaboration effortless, allowing clients to take as large or small a role in the design-build process as they desire. With every facet of the architectural process personally handled by Andrew, clients benefit from a clear, masterful evolution of design.

Andrew’s forward-thinking architectural approach draws from over 15 years of experience in creative, site-sensitive design. He incorporates regional building materials (like native stone, timber and wood) while respecting the inherent challenges and advantages of each particular homesite. Thanks to his LEED accreditation, Andrew also gracefully implements the latest green and energy efficient practices. Blending hand drawings with CAD technology, Andrew’s construction documents are both remarkably detailed and efficiently delivered.

The end result? Exceptional, thoughtfully-built spaces that are both architecturally innovative and personally satisfying to their inhabitants — an outcome that can only be achieved with conscientious communication and thorough, personal connections with his clients.

### All 5 reviews

**★★★★★ — Davis Cabinetry, Oct. 2016**

> I can't say enough good things about Brechbuhler Architects.  The plans are incredibly accurate, the renderings are complete, and they are hands on every step of the way.  Each drawing is unique to the individual.  You don't see any copy and pasting from one plan to another, which causes inaccuracies in the project.  Not to mention they're just a pleasure to work with.  I would highly recommend Brechbuhler for any and all projects.

**★★★★★ — Dovetail Construction, July 2015**

> My wife and I are clients. It is my hope that any perspective client reading this gets to enjoy what we did without doubt in doing so. To that end, I ask that the building firm I co-own remain anonymous so you know that this is the truth without exception. Please also appreciate that I risked offending other firms when we selected our Architect and therefore our decision was not at all business based.
> Hiring Brechbuhler Architects for our custom home was based on knowing what I do as a professional inside the industry and what my wife saw as concepts.
> Brechbuhler Architect's impressive design diversity, ability to listen and engage, ethics and efficiency, caring attention and a desire to enjoy process are key factors for a successful project. These are not necessarily common traits that one can experience often enough. It is due to these proven qualities, that have not changed over time, that we both proudly rate them as high as Houzz permits us to. You landed at a great architectural firm here, very well done!
> Sincerely,
> Proud Clients (who are: an anonymous picky builder and his dear wife with an eye for detail)

**★★★★★ — Brandon Vancleeve, Dec. 2014**

> Brechbuhler Architects in Bozeman, Montana truly fulfilled our dream of building the ideal home for our growing family.  Andrew and Sarah provided creativity, guidance and (much needed) structure to our vision of what we wanted our home and each individual space to be.  Their passion and integrity to our project showed through from the day we first met, to the day we stepped into our completed home.  I would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking to make your dream home come true.

**★★★★★ — suehodapp, Nov. 2012**

> Andrew Brechbuhler of Brechbuhler Architects in Bozeman Montana designed a perfect home for our family.  Andrew listened intently to our needs and the way in which we intended to use each space.  He was able to mix reclaimed beams and a rustic stone fireplace with our contemporary streamlined kitchen cabinetry and appliances - using rustic elements while creating a clean-lined and elegant home.  Andrew worked tremendously with our builders, Tim Rote and Kevin Sullivan of Dovetail Construction as well as our kitchen and bath designer, Shannon Lundgren of Bridger Kitchens.   Designing and building a home from afar had it's challenges but thanks to a great team, our expectations were exceeded and the result was off the charts!

**★★★★★ — katberend, July 2012**

> Andrew Brechbuhler at Brechbuhler Architects was chosen after an extensive search for an architect to design the remodel of our mountain home in 2009-2010.  He displayed a extensive knowledge of construction and design that enabled our project to be completed on time and on budget and through his creativeness we were able to have our dream mountain home.  We live far away from the project and Andrew became our eyes during the construction.  His supervision and eye for detail were invaluable during the construction phase.
