Our philosophy is best exemplified by our process. Every project is a unique synthesis of client, site, budget, schedule and the tensions that arise between them. All of our projects are brought into focus by carefully listening and studying the problem at hand and then creating a guiding set of ideas or principles for the building. Beyond solving the problems of function and providing beautiful places, we always strive to transcend these notions and make a project that far exceeds our clients and our own expectations.

M. Gerwing Architects is typically involved in all phases of a project's creation - from initial ideas and dreams through design and construction, to the final finishes and colors. For us there is no distinction between inside and outside, architecture and interiors. They are all part of a future environment, a complete package of sights and sounds that make the building. The same set of ideas that guide the structure also inform every detail and the selection of every piece of hardware, every tile.

The key to this process is our clients. These are their projects that we have been able to put into built form - ideas and images that come from them and are given shape by us.

Our range of work includes custom homes, remodels, renovations and additions as well as restaurants and small to medium-sized retail projects. We have an abiding commitment to utilizing green construction technologies in all of our projects to produce sustainable buildings and communities. Although most of our projects are in the Boulder and Denver area, we have executed projects throughout the Rocky Mountain West including Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico. Concurrent with this work, M. Gerwing Architects has an ongoing presence in Chicago and its suburbs and has recently completed work on a project in Manhattan.

Mark Gerwing is the owner and principal in charge of all projects; additional staff and consultants are engaged on a per-project basis.
