Our goal: Use planet and people friendly materials to build healthy, efficient, low-maintenance structures and vibrant communities. We (Thor Arnold & Gary Zimmer) run a small architectural studio in Bozeman, Montana. Our work is found throughout the inter-mountain West. Our working palette includes the following: •    recyled materials wherever possible.....timbers, siding, interior/exterior trim, flooring, etc. •    engineered/sustainably harvested framing lumber •    Durisol woodchip blocks (insulated concrete forms), stucco/sided exteriors with plastered interiors - http://durisolbuild.com/ •    plastered straw bales •    weathered steel panels •    TULIKIVI  soapstone woodstoves/fireplaces/masonry heaters - http://www.warmstone.com/ • alternative energy systems, solar/wind/micro-hydro. This vocabulary typically leads towards a "zero-maintenance", highly insulated "breathable" exterior wall-system.  Roofs are typically built in the "hot-roof" (non-ventilated) method, also highly insulated.  The net result is a healthy, non-toxic structure. all photos © zimtor architecture please DO NOT redistribute, as our clients must approve of any publication zimtor architecture LLC 415 east birch street 406.582.1499 tel.
