PDG Office

Bozeman, Montana

Located on an awkward, triangular lot near a railroad spur line in Bozeman, this custom-designed office anchors us in our hometown. The architecture is a study in context, skillfully blending innovative urban design with a deep respect for Montana’s agricultural history. The building serves as a highly personal infill project, showcasing our ability to transform challenging sites into architectural assets.

The design prioritized creating an inspiring environment that elevates our staff’s daily energy. The exterior utilizes wood siding to evoke the familiar texture of an old barn, with an antique tillage disk acting as a unique, sculptural water feature. Inside, the open lobby and striking steel, glass, and wood stairwell create a comfortable, modern atmosphere that feels like a stately, custom-designed home.

LARRY PEARSON

Larry Pearson
Founding Principal

University of California, Santa Cruz

Larry Pearson loves to ask questions. His favorite ones start with the same word: “How.” How do we define yet integrate space: space for solitude, space for family, space for friends? How do we tie the lines of architecture to this natural backdrop? How can we authentically connect humans with design—physically, visually, socially, and emotionally?

For more than three decades, these are the design puzzles Larry has worked to solve, one structure at a time, each a unique answer in itself. Influenced by his clients’ dreams; his travels in the US, Asia, and Europe; and a palpable fascination with regional materials and settings, Larry thirsts to create bespoke designs that enrich human patterns of life…or even create new ones.

The natural migration from room to room, the uninterrupted flow from inside to outside, the internal human shifts from “world” to “home”—those are the elements Larry always seeks to elevate, enhance, and ease through design.
