Dennis Deppmeier began his architectural career as a third year architecture student mentoring under Jonathan Foote, AIA in Livingston, Montana. This early exposure to recycled wood ranch projects nestled in pristine mountain sites throughout Montana and Wyoming informed Dennis in his own professional development, underlying the need to develop an appropriate design response that is sensitive to “place” and is authentic. In 1988, Dennis joined A&E Architects, P.C. where he work for 24 years until retiring his stock as Vice President and co-managing partner of the firm. Comfortable working with both contemporary and historical design, Dennis developed a diverse specialty for historic preservation, ranch development, high-end residential, and unique corporate and institutional project types. Dennis formed 2north, P.C. in March 2012 with the desire to re-engage intellectually with the design and process challenges facing smaller to medium size project types and demands, and to be able to “finish well” by dedicating time and resources to non-traditional charitable causes.
