About Us

McCoppin Studios is a small architecture firm that delivers clean, simple, spirited projects to clients in Salt Lake City & Park City, the San Francisco Bay Area, and farther afield, such as Sun Valley Idaho, Lake Tahoe, and New England. Our background in construction, education in design, and dedication to details allow for consistently beautiful, functional, and successful projects.

We take pride in approaching each new client relationship with a fresh eye and an open mind, listening to fully understand our clients’ needs and desires, and striving for the most appropriate architectural response within the specified budget. We offer a wide array of design services ranging from pre-design consultation and master planning down to cabinetry drawings and selection of interior materials and finishes.

We encourage the philosophy of green building, promoting the recycling and re-use of existing building components, the specification of green materials and processes, and the implementation of energy-efficient equipment and systems.

We maintain excellent work relationships with many highly skilled contractors and stay closely involved throughout the construction phase to ensure the flawless execution of our designs.

You can find us online on Instagram, Pinterest, Houzz, Yelp, and Facebook.
