About Us

We’re Mitchell and Kristen, the founders of Montane, a design and build firm rooted in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. Our mission is to craft refined rustic spaces that blend luxury with the natural world, creating homes and commercial environments that feel both sophisticated and deeply connected to their surroundings.

Kristen leads with vision, shaping interiors that are both functional and inspiring, while Mitchell ensures every detail of the build is executed with precision and care. Together, we bring a seamless, collaborative approach—where artistry meets craftsmanship, and sustainability is at the core of every project.

With a highly skilled team and a deep respect for authenticity, we create homes that tell a story—your story—crafted with meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Every material, texture, and architectural element is thoughtfully chosen to ensure your space feels effortless, inviting, and distinctly yours.

Let’s build something extraordinary, where nature and design exist in perfect harmony.

We build exclusively in the Columbia River Gorge but design for clients worldwide, creating tailored spaces that bring refined rustic living to any location. Wherever you are, we craft designs that seamlessly reflect your vision and surroundings.
