Through every home we design and build, we strive to harness the unique spirit that is essential for the successful realization of our clients' dreams.

Highly crafted dwellings

SunBear follows design principles that emphasize smaller more efficient spaces without losing the aesthetics of a warm comfortable feel that makes a home. Brian is unique in the building trade because he has an MFA in Fine Arts and has taught art and design at both University of Arizona and University of Idaho.  He uses his knowledge of design and aesthetics along with his ability to produce beautifully crafted spaces to make unique homes for his individual clients.

Ecologically Sensitive Building Practices.

From the moment our company was founded in the year 2000, we have been committed to building beautiful spaces using sustainable building materials and methods that:

  • Take advantage of the Southwest climate in passive solar design.

  • Reduce dependence on dwindling resources. 

  • Educate our clients to the best use of green building and green energy in their home design and application.

  • Help neutralize our company's carbon footprint.

Building Materials that are best suited for your site and individual taste.

At SunBear we like our clients to make informed choices about the materials that go into their homes that best accomplish their needs. Building materials, window choices and placement, as well as orientation of the home all need to be considered.

“Through each project, we endeavor to sit with a deep reverence to truly listen and observe our clients needs and their unique site. This gets translated into beautiful design of space and craftsmanship of your home.”
