Michael Conover, Assoc. AIA
Michael brings Montana-born diligence to all his designs, which combine built structures and natural landscape to evoke the unique character of each home.

Practice Ideology
When a house speaks to us, we call it a home. When a job speaks to us, we call it a passion. At Kor, the architects pride themselves on listening—to the materials, to the environment, and to the people who will live in the homes they create. That’s why they work at the human scale, embracing collaboration and deep focus and appreciating the challenges and joys in every project. Through communication, inspiration, and sheer tenacity, they imbue every home with a unique and compelling spirit. While their designs embody decades of collective expertise, they deliver something greater: spaces that speak to their clients’ most authentic selves.
They design spaces that become the seat of life; homes that feel distinctive and authentic to their clients; and architecture that arises from the singular spirit of a place.
