Dhm Design

We design places to balance human presence with nature, honoring the enduring spirit of the land. As individuals, we are impassioned by the natural landscape. As a firm we are its students, and its stewards. DHM was founded in 1975 in Denver. Since then, we have opened studios in Carbondale and Durango, Colorado, and Bozeman, Montana. Our work expanded throughout the west and beyond. Today, we plan and design recreational spaces, National Parks, residential communities, resorts and hospitality, cultural landscapes, civic spaces, tribal lands, legacy ranches, high-end residences and land trusts. We are designers and we are environmentalists. What we do is both art and science. We seek balance between human patterns and natural systems. Our work restores landscapes and enhances the human experience. These conservation and design principles translate to every project we take on. What has our long and intimate connection with the natural world taught us? To cherish the environment. To honor its cultural heritage. To know that both are fragile. To leave a light footprint. To speak plainly. And to listen.
