MUIR ARCHITECTS

Muir Architects is an architecture firm based in the Rocky Mountains, with offices in Salt Lake City and Jackson, Wyoming.

In an era of increasing disconnection and uncertainty, our clients are drawn to the grounding presence of a practice shaped by generations of connection to this landscape and a deep understanding of how to build lightly upon it.

We believe authenticity emerges over time, through the careful layering of experience, craft, and place. When this is fully understood, meaningful opportunities reveal themselves. Our design solutions are measured by their responsiveness to context, requiring both architect and client to share a personal investment in the outcome.

SERVICES

Muir Architects is a nationally recognized architectural firm based in Salt Lake City. For the last fifty years, Prescott Muir has built an award winning career as a designer, writer, educator and mentor to several generations of architects, planners and designers. Though the firm has considerable experience, recently with Thomas Morahan, Lisa Arnett and other key personnel, the firm was reorganized to enable a more targeted focus on community engaged and socially relevant projects. The emphasis of the work has been on housing for the socially disadvantaged, neighborhood development and sustainable practices that are as much aspirational as meeting regulations. It’s an approach that welcomes innovation and social regeneration.
