CCY Architects Information

CCY Architects is an internationally recognized architecture and design firm rooted in the American West. We create inspired, place-based work that connects people, nature, and community across custom residences, boutique hospitality, civic and cultural buildings, affordable housing, and recreation-focused architecture. We believe design and environmental responsibility are inseparable. Our work responds directly to climate, site, and community, guided by a commitment to performance, resilience, and long-term relevance. For over five decades, CCY has advanced a regional modernism grounded in the ecological and cultural identity of each setting. Custom residences remain central to the practice: homes that are site-responsive, crafted from enduring materials, and shaped for the people who live in them. Our broader portfolio includes award-winning hotels, ski lodges, and resort amenities that balance refined guest experiences with durable, high-performance design. Recreation architecture supports outdoor use while respecting terrain, climate, and seasonal change. Civic and cultural work emphasizes inclusion and shared identity through deep community engagement, while our affordable housing and mixed-use projects balance density, budget, and livability. Our process is grounded in site immersion and collaboration, bringing together clients, consultants, and communities to define vision and values. Drawing on decades of experience in sensitive environments, we integrate passive strategies, high-performance systems, and enduring materials to reduce impact and extend building life. This approach reflects our belief that architecture should meaningfully enrich both people and place—creating a more connected, resilient future for the communities and ecologies we serve.
