In 1989, architect Bruce Taylor, AIA, founded Summit Design in Park City, Utah. Since, Summit Design has developed a reputation for creating unique architectural design solutions specific to the client and to the setting. Summit Design's residential architecture ranges from luxury mountainside ski-in, ski-out designs to subsidized housing and small living communities. These designs seek to incorporate principles from the "Not-So-Big" housing movement, evident in the carefully planned functional and multi-use spaces scaled for the daily pleasures of life.

"It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice."
"The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture."
"The design of buildings in natural settings, whether urban or rural, must be responsive to the earth out of which they arise and the sky against which they are seen." James Polshek
"The emphasis in architecture is upon the needs of the user, whereas in engineering the emphasis is upon the needs of the fabricator."
"You've done a really good job if when you're done nobody knows you've done it." Speaking of remodeling, of course.
"Green" Design doesn't have to be political- in most cases, it's just common sense. Think "sustainable" and do what's right.
