CLB Architects is an architecture firm founded in 1992. With offices in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Bozeman, Montana, it defines itself as a comprehensive design studio that integrates architecture, interior design, and object design. Its philosophy can be summed up in the formula “inspired by place”: every proposal begins with a sensitivity to the landscape, the light, and the local materiality, generating spaces that seem to emerge from the land itself.
Throughout its trajectory, CLB has grown to bring together nearly fifty professionals, including architects, interior designers, project managers, and collaborators, led by a quartet of partners. The studio’s projects range from private residences in rural settings—where the boundary between indoors and outdoors becomes subtle—to public and infrastructure commissions, always with a firm footing in geography, local culture, and rigorous technique.
CLB is led by its four partners:
Eric Logan, a Wyoming native, embodies the creative pulse of CLB. At a time when architecture often gravitates toward technological abstraction, Logan seeks to return us to the essential: the dialogue with the senses, with light, air, and earth. His architecture is defined by a bold yet grounded imprint, capable of stretching the boundary between the contemporary and the local. Logan is the leading voice in many of the studio’s landmark projects, where the landscape is not only a context but an active presence in every formal decision. His designs often combine local culture and ancestral craft traditions with innovative construction methods, allowing for multigenerational experiences in a natural setting.
Kevin Burke brings to the studio a blend of landscape sensitivity and technical rigor. His design approach begins with a deep reading of the land, paying attention to local conditions, the history of the site, and the vernacular forms born of the environment. With a strong interest in building assemblies, Burke promotes within CLB both high design quality and technical efficiency rooted in sustainability. As a LEED-accredited professional, he leads the integration of sustainable construction practices at CLB and reinforces the firm’s commitment to environmental integrity.
Andy Ankeny represents an intimate link between craftsmanship and architectural vision. Raised in Jackson Hole in a culture of custom building, he developed a profound appreciation for material, detail, and measured gesture. He is an architect dedicated to what he calls “cultivation through craft”, a concept that reveals his passion for careful intervention in every small piece of a project. With a long-term vision of sustainability as a guiding principle for design and construction, he envisions each project within a hundred-year life cycle, relying on durable and honest materials that address the needs of both the present and future generations.
Darcey Prichard is the operational and organizational engine of the studio. For more than two decades, she has led CLB’s marketing, administration, and institutional structure. Since joining the practice in its early years, she has played a key role in consolidating its professional identity: building internal processes, shaping the studio’s public presence, and strengthening the brand in a way that organically reflects its architectural practice. Although not an architect, her role is essential: she enables the creative vision to thrive in an organized, sustainable, and reliable environment.
