Since 1984, Daniel J. Murphy Architect, PC has specialized in designing refined, place-sensitive homes in Colorado’s high country. From charming village residences that harmonize with the historic streets of downtown Crested Butte to grand mountain lodges built to host generations of family, our work spans an architectural spectrum-all grounded in respect for the rugged setting. We focus on creating homes that feel warm, authentic, and timeless, while responding thoughtfully to the unique topography, climate, and scenic character of the West Elk Mountains.

At the heart of our practice is collaboration-working closely with each client to tailor a design to their lifestyle, priorities, and vision. Over decades, the beautiful homes we’ve created-and the lasting friendships we’ve forged with their owners-stand as a testament to successful partnerships built on trust, integrity, and design excellence.
