The Firm
Founded in 1998, Curtis Miner Architecture (CMA) has grown from humble beginnings to a full service Utah architectural firm made up of experienced and friendly professionals who strive to create excellent design and provide outstanding service. We foster an environment of innovation, collaboration, mutual respect and integrity among all members of our design team. We seek partners who share those values.
Design Approach
Our unique design approach begins with careful listening and learning about our clients’ needs which includes social, historical, political and physical design context. We organize the project team early. The best partnering comes when this team consists of client and user representatives, contractors, government officials, community and other involved stakeholders. This inclusive team invites the best collaborative thinking and input. We synthesize data and develop architectural design solutions based on input from the project team which translates into consensus building around a single solution. We prepare clear and precise documents that facilitate efficient and trouble-free construction. We are successful when our clients are successful.
