We are artists. Artistry inspires, sharpens, and defines our approach as we seek the principles of beauty and incorporate them into our work as residential architects. This approach challenges us to explore every angle, to consider more deeply how we merge form with function, and to paint a portrait in architecture of our clients' unique lifestyles.
We began designing custom homes in 1983, under the name Curtis Gelotte Architects. We set out with a vision for crafting distinct residences that reflect the lives of the people who inhabit them. With time, we forged relationships with local craftspeople and built a selective team of residential designers committed to art through architecture. First Scott Hommas, and later Eric Drivdahl, took up the mantle of leadership, forming Gelotte Hommas Drivdahl Architecture.
Today, with more than thirty years behind us, we continue to approach each project as an opportunity for artistry and service-an opportunity to tell our clients' stories through light, space, and that perfect combination of gestures that makes a house into a home of distinction.

For principal designer Scott Hommas, architecture is a natural outpouring of his desire to create.
The Montana native remembers first experiencing the full impact of architecture during a family vacation; he was "blown away" by the splendor of Lake McDonald Lodge in Glacier National Park.
That early fascination with the impact a building can have haunted him, and in 1986, he earned his degree in architecture from Montana State University.
He launched his career as an intern at Curtis Gelotte Architects, after which time he spent several years working for a variety of firms before returning to Curtis Gelotte in 1996.

Exquisite form and function merge into a single entity when we artfully adhere to high standards of scale, proportion, and alignment.
We harness the playful moodiness of natural light to energize the character of each space.
We compose dramatic structures through articulate and wedded spaces, always drawing inspiration from the surrounding setting and our clients' unique preferences.
We allow the natural site to inform and magnify the home, and we design spaces of both refuge and prospect to evoke a unique sense of place.
