ROSS HOFER

A.I.A. • Architect

Raised on a farm in South Dakota, Ross came to Montana State University in 1995 to pursue architecture. After a semester abroad studying in Europe, he graduated in 2000 with a Bachelors of Environmental Design and a Masters of Architecture, sharing the Thesis of the Year award with another student. Ross joined Locati Architects in 1999, starting as a model builder and running blue prints, and moved up over the years to a licensed architect position. Growing up in a small town influenced Ross’s design philosophy; he believes architecture involves more than just creating a building – it’s about people. Outside of work, Ross is actively involved in a family oriented orphanage called Mavuno Village in Tanzania.
