About us
Yellowstone Integrated Architecture and Design’s roots date back to 2002, and our leadership team has both robust past experience and an eye to the future. Our company exists to serve the changing architecture, design, and delivery needs of organizations throughout the Midwest.
The Yellowstone team is built on an integrated approach to everything we do – we live and breathe cohesive, intentional practices that keep our clients’ needs and desired results at the forefront every step of the way. We believe that integration helps us deliver faster, higher-quality, and more efficient projects – for a better way to design, collaborate, and integrate.
Core values
Value add
Yellowstone Architecture + Design’s key strength lies in its balance of diverse expertise, effective project management, and its agile and collaborative approach; speeding up project delivery and eliminating the “gaps” that slow them down. As design and project management leaders, Yellowstone partners with construction managers, property owners, and specialty trades from the beginning of each project to build integrated, collaborative teams of designers and trade professionals, avoiding the disfunction that complicates the industry and setting up the project for success.
Construction projects are often drawn out in the beginning by a complex design/bid/re-design process and later by a slow and ineffective problem-solving process. Yellowstone’s sweet spot is at the beginning of projects where diverse expertise begets integrated, agile teams with clear, aligned goals and collaborative problem-solving. Yellowstone excels at quarterbacking diverse teams, simplifying the building process so that clients can stay focused on what they do best.”
Leadership Team
Andrew Hauptman, President
Why architecture?
I’ve always loved combining my affection for art, design, and technology. Architecture has a profound impact on the environment, our society, and the individual – and I strongly believe that great architectural design can solve many of the biggest problems we face today.
What’s the best part of the job?
Working with the most effective team imaginable, and serving inspirational clients. I’m very fortunate.
Charles Huber, Director of Architecture and Design
Why design?
I really appreciated theater and art galleries growing up, and both of those inspired my love for design.
What’s your favorite past project?
I was part of a team that developed a hospital in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It involved master planning and ground-up development of a critical access hospital in a remote location – which was a really fulfilling process. The UP is also one of my favorite places to visit!
Elizabeth Wilk, Architectural Designer
Why architecture?
Growing up, I’d visit my Dad in Georgia and take daily walks through developing neighborhoods. I’d design in my head what an unfinished building could look like, and loved watching it come together.
What’s been your biggest learning experience?
I worked on a renovation for a Detroit-based corporation, and my architectural skills expanded when I was pushed toward more creative design decisions. It was an unforgettable experience of professional growth.
Caleb Marquard, Architect II
Why architecture?
Architecture is art in which a human can dwell. It can resonate history and inspire the soul. Why do explorers climb the highest mountains, or dive to ancient deeps? I choose architecture because it is a culmination.
What's the best part of the job?
Developing concepts with clients. Painting mental pictures, solving problems, and seeing faces light up when we’ve landed on the right track. It’s very rewarding.
