How Vaulted Line Began
Architect James Navarro left a large Denver firm in 2014 to start something different in Durango. He wanted to design buildings that belonged to their sites — not buildings that could exist anywhere. He founded Vaulted Line with a single drafting table, a dog named Blueprint, and a belief that great architecture should be accessible to more than just luxury clients.
Today the studio employs six architects and designers. We've completed projects from Silverton to Cortez, but our heart remains in Durango — where the mountains teach us something new about light, material, and space every single day.
What We Stand For
Site First
We design for the land, not despite it. Every project starts with a thorough site analysis.
Material Truth
Honest materials, exposed connections, structure as ornament. No faux finishes.
Client Partnership
We listen more than we talk. Your vision drives the design — we shape it into architecture.
Sustainable Practice
Net-zero-ready design is not an add-on. It's embedded in every decision from day one.
