Stephen Dynia, 69, launched his namesake architecture firm in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 1994 with an emphasis on connecting high-end residential design to the natural environment. The firm opened a Denver office in 2012, where Dynia quickly shaped the industrial-to-mixed-use evolution of the River North (RiNo) Arts District with his work on Zeppelin Development’s Taxi campus, The Source, and The Source Hotel.
Getting his start in New York in 1974, Dynia now primarily works in Jackson Hole and Denver, with additional residences and hospitality projects in assorted mountain towns, and teaches the final graduate architecture studio at the University of Colorado every spring.
Architecture “is part business, part science, and part art,” said Dynia. “Our empowerment is all about design, quality, innovation, and inventiveness.”
Dynia said he usually has a dozen employees, and he credited them for their ability to bring his ideas to life. “I never looked for growth, because I oversee the design,” he said. “I don’t want to ever see anything get out the door that I don’t think is interesting enough or potent enough to make some point in the world of architecture.”
