We’re excited to announce that A&E Design and SMA Architecture + Design are joining forces.

Built on shared values, a people-first approach, and decades of creative excellence, this merger unites two of Montana’s most respected design firms into a forward-thinking powerhouse. With aligned missions, complementary strengths, and a deep commitment to our communities and clients, we’re not just merging – we’re building something stronger: a firm driven by the belief that design should serve people, strengthen communities, elevate our clients’ visions, and shape a better future.

As we integrate our teams, our priorities and our client-centered approach remain unchanged – ongoing projects will move forward seamlessly, with the same trusted team and processes you already know.

Together, we offer expanded capabilities, seamless collaboration across disciplines, and bold solutions that reflect the people and places we serve. We are united by purpose, driven by design, and committed to creating places that make life better – for our clients, our communities, and our team.
