The design & build nerds behind every home.
Trilogy is a small, founder-led practice that has spent twenty-eight years shaping the most ambitious homes in the Colorado Rockies — carefully, deliberately, one detail at a time, with boots on the ground and eyes on the sky.
← What is a Superhome?
CEO, Owner & Director of Design · PMM Master
Michael founded Trilogy in 2000 with a question more than an answer: what would homebuilding look like if a builder treated the home the way a filmmaker treats a film — designed in full before a single frame is captured, refined relentlessly in iteration, and brought into the world with the same crew from first conversation to final cut?
That question has shaped every Trilogy project since. The 3D modeling discipline that defines the practice today emerged from that filmmaker’s instinct — a belief that the most expensive surprises happen in construction, and the only way to prevent them is to build the home virtually first: every room, every detail, before construction begins.
Twenty-eight years and many homes later, Michael still personally designs every project — and is still present on every home he shepherds.

No Superhome is built alone. These are the partners, architects, engineers, and trades who make Trilogy Trilogy — many of them beside us for decades.
Every Trilogy Superhome is designed in SketchUp and brought to life through Enscape — the backbone of our PMM system. We love them because our clients read the model instantly, and our subcontractors build straight from it.
In their words
“Over the years, I’ve met thousands of design-build professionals. Trilogy Partners is truly a thought (and action) leader in this space. Rarely have I seen the 3D model leveraged as much for design, coordination, and accuracy. Most important, Michael and his team are a rare breed of architects and builders who invite their clients to participate in design through 3D. If you ask me, this is the future: a design-build process that empowers clients to bring their dreams to life.”Mark Harrison · SketchUp Marketing Director
