Silver Run Architects

In 2012 my husband and I decided to build our dream house. We did our homework. We read, looked at houses and house plans, and made our must have list. A book,'The Not So Big House', appealed to us. The only architect in our extended region recommended by the book was Curtis Marwitz of Silver Run Architects. After meeting with Curt and two other architects we chose Curt. He was on our wavelength. He understood what we wanted and his intelligence, creativity, and expertise shown through. We gave our list of must haves to Curt and over several months Curt worked with our ideas and wishes to design our house. During the design/planning stage Curt included us in every decision and explained his reasons for his decisions. When all three of us were in agreement Curt developed the construction documents which he turned over to the contractor of our choice. We contracted with Curt to oversee the construction to completion to ensure that our house would be built as specified. This was a good decision. Over the past three years we have loved our home. It is comfortable, attractive, unique, and efficient, the epitome of a custom home. We have received many sincere compliments from friends and family. We give Curtis Marwitz the credit for creating our beautiful home and for making the process easy and enjoyable.

A few years ago Silver Run Architects designed both an add-on and interior improvements to our house, including the kitchen. We couldn't have been more pleased. We began the project knowing only that we wanted a little more space as well as better use of the space we already had. They were very patient with us while working from these very general requirements towards a tangible design. Additionally, they served as a project manager for the overall project after the construction began. This was especially helpful whenever we had some difficult issues pop up with our contractor. In those instances Silver Run Architects served as something of an advocate for us. Would definitely recommend.

Curtis Marwitz is an outstanding architect who in the past has done work for us on our house at 801 Warren Landing in designing an additional room on the south side of our house,and also a major renovation of our kitchen. He has also done commercial work with a firm in Denver which included work on health and medical buildings. In the past few years he has decided to establish his own firm in Fort Collins, working on high-end homes for clients. These have been original design buildings. Curtis Marwitz is a chatered architect in Colorado, having passed the required exams years ago when he came to this state from Arizona.He is a graduate of the University of Arizona and did distringuished work there as a student, winning a prize in his senior year for disign work After graduation he had an opportunity to enter into a partnership in Arizona but declined accepting this opportunity in order to work in Denver for firms in the field before developing his own firm in Fort Collins.(Silver Run Architects)

Curtis Marwitz/Silver Run Architects: I have commissioned him twice to help me with 1970's ranch remodels in Cheyenne. The first was an extensive first floor main living space, where walls were torn down, new hardwood flooring, decor was in the Contemporary Arts and Crafts. This involved the kitchen, dining room, two gathering rooms, and hallway and stairway. I get so many compliments because of the comfort ambiance. I am now able to use all the space where before, I never used the living room. I'm totally convinced that having an architect is very helpful. Because I like the "Not So Big" concepts, Curt was able to help me with the "remolding" of my now incredible home. Last summer he helped me with a remodel of my basement bathroom. Each time he was most professional, the contractor was more than able to use the architectural plans to fully take part of all construction in a total teamwork endeavor. I highly recommend Curtis for his talent and also his honesty. Carlisle Flooring used photos of my upstairs living space remodel to show the beauty of their hardwood floors, as well, on their website. Please understand I used him twice, two separate years.

Curt Marwitz worked incredibly hard with us to design our SF home on 2+ acres. It was not an easy project for many reasons and due to budget constraints we had many iterations. I am the first to admit that I am not the easiest person to work with and he handled it all well. He did not just design the home and then step away. Curt was involved throughout construction and I feel this was an integral part of the project. It has been over 6 years since we did the majority of our work with Curt but I know if I called him tomorrow he would respond immediately. If you are looking for a quality architect and a quality person I would recommend you put him on the short list of people to interview.
