Dale Cox Architects brings the exuberance of youth and the experience and wisdom of age to each of its projects.

In addition to hundreds of completed buildings and more than 30 years experience, the firm boasts an unparalleled level of service.
Architectural designs are based on a post-and-beam philosophy, meaning that it’s possible to see the structure, the materials and how they are all put together. Each building is carefully planned to reflect the client’s goals and unique personality, as well as the site location, whether Hawaii’s tropical shores, Lake Tahoe’s alpine wilderness, Montana’s rugged peaks, or anywhere in between.
