About Us
CRS Architects, LLC (CRS) is headquartered in Woodland Park, Colorado. We have been providing Architectural Services for our clients
primarily in the high country of Colorado, since 1985. Our specialty is small commercial, residential,
and planning projects throughout Colorado. Our architecture projects include new construction,
additions, remodelings, and the adaptive re-use of historic buildings.
Each of our projects is designed and detailed exclusive to the client’s desires, to the site, and to the tradition of vernacular architecture as expressed by the client. We believe that architectural design is a process involving listening, understanding, and creativity. Each characteristic is essential as we bring the client along side for the journey.
