Brian Tolstedt

AIA / LEED AP / Architect


Working with Locati Architects since 1992 Brian has been empowered by the firm’s growth and integrity.

“The company as a whole has become a client driven and inspired endeavor due to the unique mix and character of each individual to communicate and develop positive relationships with others,” he says.

Growing up in Montana, Brian was inspired by architecture’s influence on people and nature from an early age. He pursued a Master of Architecture at Montana State University and gained professional experience in the large commercial market in Bellevue, Washington. He is also licensed in Washington, Montana, California, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota. His skill at collaboration enhances the Locati team’s ability to create each project as a new and unique piece of art.

His passions outside of work include painting, designing furniture, enjoying the company of family and friends, and experiencing nature from a well-padded bike seat, my favorite pair of hiking shoes, on 4” of fresh powder over corduroy, or with an oar in each hand dodging rocks on one of the many local streams.
