Idaho Housing Crisis
If you feel like Idaho’s not that affordable anymore, you’re right. In order to meet current demand for housing, 77% of all new homes built in Boise would need to meet the requirements of affordable housing*. It’s anticipated only 900 affordable homes will be built in the next four years, meeting just 8% of the need.
You can be a part of the change.
Why work with us?
Feasibility First, Not “Design First”
Most firms jump straight into sketches.
We start with site reality, zoning constraints, and financial feasibility.
Deep Knowledge of Local Zoning Codes
The new Boise code can be a maze.
We bring hands-on, working experience in navigating overlays, entitlements, and neighborhood expectations, reducing risk and expediting approvals.
Clear, Straightforward Communication
Clients never feel in the dark.
We translate complex processes into simple, digestible steps, helping developers, contractors, and homeowners make confident decisions.
Approachable, Small-Firm Attention
We aren’t juggling 30 projects at once.
Clients get direct access to the architect, consistent communication, and a partner who is invested, not just assigned.
Smooth Permitting Through Real Experience
We’ve developed relationships within the local permitting adjencies, we know what they expect, what they flag, and what they prioritize.
This leads to:
-
Fewer rounds of comments
-
Faster approvals
-
Lower soft costs
Contractor-Friendly Drawings
Your sets are clear, detailed, and buildable, which reduces Requests for Information, change orders, and scheduling headaches.
