Aamodt / Plumb is a team of architects, designers, and builders whose mission is to create housing that is good, clean, and fair. We are socially and environmentally conscious practitioners that want to leverage our skills for the greater good.
In 2020 we shifted our priorities from designing high-end custom homes to responsibly developing market-rate and affordable housing. We have grown from an architecture firm to design-build to architect-as-developer in order to increase our impact and serve a larger segment of our community.
Why We Do It
Statistically, people spend over 90% of their lives indoors; usually at home or work. The focus of our practice is on the everyday spaces, which we believe should support and inspire people.
We know firsthand the importance of designing the “everyday”. When Mette was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2002 our most important project became to design our own lives for long-term health, happiness and productivity. Our ability to prioritize and find simple ways to do complex tasks has influenced our design practice and allowed us to develop a unique approach to serving our clients.
How We Do It
At Aamodt / Plumb we believe in “Better Living through Design” this motto guides our projects, our office culture, and the way we interact with one another. We treat our team members and clients as family, making sure that they are being taken care of, getting good value, and a positive experience. We drink beers together on Fridays, and we throw parties for our clients’ when their projects are complete. We love what we do and we want to share it.

In the quiet cul-de-sac of Fort Hill, Roxbury, Fort Hill Cottage stands as a thoughtful blend of history and renewal. Designed by Aamodt / Plumb Architects, this 2,000-square-foot home replaces an abandoned structure, symbolizing a fresh start for its owner. The design respects the past while embracing modern sensibilities, offering a tranquil space for living, reflection, and healing.
Provincetown’s ethos is centered around art and inclusiveness and has become a haven for people who want to get away, to simply be themselves. This home was originally built as a single family in 1853 and in the twentieth century was converted, like many others, into a guest house to accommodate P-town’s many new visitors.
Aamodt / Plumb was commissioned to design a home for a young family on a beautiful site on Lake Austin with only one catch: an incredibly compressed 12-month schedule. “12 months is extremely fast!” notes Aamodt.
The Lake Austin House, designed by Aamodt Plumb Architects, serves as a family haven on the banks of Lake Austin. Just twenty minutes from downtown, this home is more than a residence; it’s the heart of family life, a place for gathering, and a gateway to experiencing Austin’s vibrant culture and natural beauty.
