Curtis Gelotte

Curtis Gelotte
Senior Principal, AIA
Curtis is one of those people that always knew what he wanted to do. After showing an early aptitude for designing buildings, he began working for an architect in his home town of Juneau, Alaska before he got his driver’s license. He enrolled in the architecture program at the University of Washington, graduating in 1973. After working for a prominent Seattle-area firm for several years, he started Curtis Gelotte Architects in 1983. With a sharpness of thought, Curtis brings a fresh approach and an artistic eye to all projects he undertakes. His evocative designs consistently create structures that retain their beauty and grace for life, and, even after several hundred homes, he still has a spark and enthusiasm for each new project. With that early interest in architecture and a foundation of hands-on experience, his talent has led him to great success and recognition.

 
Scott Hommas

Scott Hommas
Principal, AIA
It is not surprising that Scott connects with the nature of each new project’s site—he’s born and raised in the beautiful landscape of Montana. He is not only acutely aware of integrating each home with its environment, but also the need to create a timeless design. An accomplished artist, Scott brings an aesthetic eye to each new project. His illustrations are unparalleled in assisting clients with visualizing their completed home. After graduating Montana State University with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1986, Scott started his career as an intern for Curtis Gelotte Architects. He then spent a few years exploring different types of architecture before returning to Curtis Gelotte in 1996, and his true passion—custom residential design. It is no wonder that he continually receives the highest of client compliment, their return business when they are ready to build a second home.

Since, he has found a house, designed it for him and his wife, and started an expansive remodel.
