Mottram Architecture is now Mottram and Maines.

If you've followed along here for any amount of time, you know Mike. We wrote the Pretty Good House book together, co-host BS + Beer, and have been each other's sounding board on building science questions for the better part of a decade. When I had a question I wasn't sure about, it was always hashtag ask Mike. So making this official felt less like a business decision and more like the next logical step.

What does this mean? It means more capacity to take on the projects we're genuinely excited about. It means a team that's deeply committed to designing homes that are healthy, durable, comfortable, and beautiful. It’s not just a marketing line, but as a real design philosophy we practice every single day. It means more time for education, for BS + Beer, for the Pretty Good House conversation, and for pushing the building science world forward together.

Cold-climate, high-performance residential design done right. That's what we're here for.
