Plans drawn to be built here.

Every plan in the collection is drawn in-house for Colorado conditions — snow loads, altitude, hard sun and big views. Hover a plan to flip from its front elevation to the floor plan, or open it for the full sheet.

Stan Arnett was born and raised in Colorado, and has been drawing buildings since he started studying architecture in middle school.

He holds a Bachelor of Environmental Design and a Master of Architecture from the University of Colorado. A summer semester in Rome — Roman civic space, medieval streets, Renaissance proportion — still shapes how he reads a site and its scale.

Stan founded Arnett Design Studio in January 2010, worked alongside it for nearly a decade at r4 Architects on commercial, residential and healthcare projects across Northern Colorado, and moved to the studio full-time in 2020.

Fort Collins has been home since 2005. Stan and his wife Amanda are raising three kids on his great-grandfather’s farm, which he still works in off-hours — when he isn’t biking, hiking or fishing in the mountains.

FA-601 · Selected commissions

Built work.

A few of the studio’s residential commissions. Photography and documentation packages are available on request.

01‘A’ Mountain RetreatNorthern ColoradoResidential · Mountain
Northern Colorado · Residential

A high-altitude getaway rooted in the landscape. Raw timber, stone and glass work with the terrain rather than against it; the section is carved into the hillside to reduce the building’s visual mass.

South-facing glazing frames a specific mountain view. Every other window is pulled back to control light and hold heat, and passive strategies cut mechanical load year-round.

02Glass FarmWeld County, COResidential · Agricultural
Weld County · Residential

A modern farmhouse on working land: steel and glass inserted into an agrarian vocabulary, at barn scale and with generous light. The roofline echoes the surrounding outbuildings while the plan is strictly contemporary.

03Blue FarmWeld County, COResidential · Agricultural
Weld County · Residential

A second residence on the Glass Farm property, designed for extended family. A shared material palette and an independent program — the two read as a compound from the road.

The smaller footprint called for a tighter section: a lofted sleeping area over a single open living volume, with a covered breezeway to the main house.

04Belmont RidgeFort Collins, COResidential · Single-family
Fort Collins · Residential

A single-family home on a ridge lot. The section steps with the slope to preserve views and minimize cut, keeping the upper floor below the ridge line. The street elevation is deliberately reserved; the view side opens completely.

05Breckenridge CabinBreckenridge, COResidential · Mountain
Breckenridge · Residential

A ski-season cabin with a compact footprint built around gathering: heavy timber frame, standing-seam roof, south-facing deck. Snow load and thermal performance drove the structure and envelope — the roof sheds away from every entry.

The active portfolio also includes commercial tenant finish, multi-family, retail and medical projects across Northern Colorado. Request work samples
