Vision
We believe in making the world a more beautiful place to live and work.
We believe that design should take ROOT from the essence of a place and then merge with the landscape to define the form the architecture takes. The form should be molded by the light, materials, and function of the space.
We believe that God speaks through his creation and that when architecture is ROOTed to nature we feel more alive in the places we live, work, and play.
We believe architecture is a human experience, and that relationships and creative processes are as important as the end projects.
We believe that architecture is not a singular, lone process when it is done best. Like the ROOTs of large Aspen groves the architect’s role is to gather and pull insight from a variety of resources to “grow” natural, artistic structures. Clients, communities, craftsmen and nature itself — all contribute to the goals and streams of information resulting in the most beautiful places to live our lives.
Zeke is passionate about people, design, and building. In 2012, he founded Root Architecture and Development to reach more people and push these passions forward.
Zeke is a licensed Architect, Contractor, and Leed Accredited Professional. When not designing or building something you’ll most likely find Zeke fishing with his boys or atop a mountain running a Colorado trail.
