Gelotte Hommas Architecture

We are artists. As residential architects, we design homes that reflect the lives of the people who drink their morning coffee at the counter and who curl up next to the fireplace on rainy days. We tell their stories through light, space, and that perfect gesture that makes a house a home. Every brick, every shingle, every color converges to compose a single story. The entirety of our residential design process-from the first evaluation of the land to the final selection of the cabinet hardware-centers on dialog with our clients. Each step is service and each choice, artistry. Each home is a new and fascinating story, ready to inspire us anew. This is the art of architecture.

Our Story

We began designing custom homes in 1983, under the name Curtis Gelotte Architects. We set out with a vision for crafting distinct residences that reflect the lives of the people who inhabit them. With time, we forged relationships with local craftspeople and built a selective team of residential designers committed to art through architecture. First Scott Hommas, and later Eric Drivdahl, took up the mantle of leadership, forming Gelotte Hommas Drivdahl Architecture. Today, with more than forty years behind us, we continue to approach each project as an opportunity for artistry and service-an opportunity to tell our clients' stories through light, space, and that perfect combination of gestures that makes a house into a home of distinction.
