We would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone looking to design a unique mountain home. He has an immaculate eye and was able to combine traditional elements with a modern aesthetic. We very much appreciated his efficiency, honesty and positive attitude throughout the process. However, it wasn't until we moved in to our home that we truly realized the extent of his talent. His ability to foresee the positioning of our home so as to maximize the views around us was extraordinary. Years after moving in, we still sit on our deck, gaze at our views and wonder how he did it. It goes without being said, we've returned to him to design a guest home for our property in the coming years!

Amaron Folkestad GC Steamboats Builder

Mike Olsen Architects has a vast knowledge of designing construction projects. Amaron-Folkestad General Contractors has worked with them on several projects from custom homes to commercial building for over 10 years. Amaron-Folkestad General Contractors often becomes involved in custom projects near the same time the architect is hired to bring the best overall product to the customer. We appreciate their willingness to listen to our ideas on construction details, value engineering and energy conservation ideas during the construction process. Mike Olsen Architects keeps up with current drafting technology and software that allows for computer 3D modeling, sun / shadow forecasting and walking through the home to feel what it will be like when complete.

Mike Olsen was recommended to us by our friends. He had done a wonderful and thoughtful home for them . We engaged Mike and his staff and they were respectful of our budget , worked very carefully on a very restricted site , coordinated extremely well with our interior designer as well as our cabinet maker. We have other homes but this is our favorite and most engaging. Our Family will show up here over our home in Princeton or our beach house. Sometimes our builder wanted to build it his way , but MIke was able to get exactly what we wanted from him. Mike also worked very well and had excellent relationships with the town engineers and building dept , because we were 1500 miles away these contacts were greatly appreciated.
