Architecture for the practical modernist
​Fuse57 is a design-driven architecture studio specializing in modern residential living spaces that reflect the unique needs and personalities of each client. By intentionally remaining a small studio, we’re able to provide every project with a high level of personal attention and care.
Our design process is rooted in collaboration, conversation, and a deep understanding of each site’s unique opportunities and constraints. We craft thoughtful, efficient solutions that embrace the natural environment and prioritize sustainable practices. From urban remodels to rural new construction, and from compact lake retreats to expansive forever custom homes, Fuse57 approaches each project—large or small—with the same goal: to create a home that feels authentically yours.
