Founded in 1994 and located just outside Glenwood Springs in the small community of No Name, situated along the Colorado River at the west end of scenic Glenwood Canyon, No Name Architects was established to provide high-quality architectural design services to a handful of clients. Our emphasis from the beginning has always been about quality, rather than quantity. This philosophy applies to both the type of clients and projects we seek out, as well as the design services we strive to provide. We have significant and varied experience in both commercial and residential projects, but as our firm has evolved, we have selectively chosen to focus most of our efforts toward high-quality, custom designed single-family residences in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Although No Name Architects remains a small design firm, we actively collaborate with a number of other design professionals on each project to provide our clients with a broader, more comprehensive package of design services than would otherwise be possible. These other design consultants typically include our structural engineer, CAD drafting/production architect, "green building" and sustainable design consultant, model builder, and architectural illustrator. We have deep-rooted relationships with each of these design consultants and each brings a high level of talent, experience and energy to every project. As a result, the collaborative efforts of our "virtual office" allow No Name Architects to offer a high level of design expertise and production capabilities to all of our clients.

As a licensed Architect in professional practice since 1984, Dave Argo has significant experience in all facets of architectural design, project management and construction contract administration services. He has been responsible for executing commissions valued in excess of $210 million construction cost, and most of these projects have been in the Rocky Mountain region.

Following completion of his Bachelor and Master of Architecture degrees at Kansas State University, Dave relocated from his home state of Kansas to Colorado. After living one year in Denver, he and his wife Diane moved to the mountains where he has spent most of his professional career working on both residential and commercial projects in Colorado mountain resort communities. Consequently, Dave has extensive experience and a firm understanding of regional and climatic considerations affecting projects in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

After establishing his own practice in 1994, Dave has concentrated his energy towards becoming involved in a relatively small number of high-quality projects This approach allows him to maintain a significant personal involvement throughout the duration of every project designed by No Name Architects.
