About
Hi there! I’m Heather. Architect, renovation enthusiast, and obsessed with flow.
I love taking an old house that isn't quite right, and making it feel like home again.
ONCE UPON A TIME
I was a new architect working in Bozeman, MT for a firm designing big and important projects...
like schools and multi-family housing. Even a few multi-million dollar homes. But I missed my home down in southwest Colorado. And more than that... the work just wasn't fulfilling. It was killing me to see all this beautiful farmland in the Bozeman Valley become apartment complexes.
While I do believe that new builds are important and some homes just can't be saved, I also believe that most existing houses can become dream homes with just a little bit of work...
Hi, I'm Heather. Licensed architect, boy mom, & lover of cozy homes.
I’m an architect who cares deeply about how homes support ordinary life—mornings, meals, laundry, rest, togetherness, quiet.
I created Heather Hanson Homes because I believe that everyone deserves to live in a house that feels like home.
Sometimes all it takes is a few little tweaks to the flow, maybe a strategic addition, and an old house that wasn't quite working, can suddenly become someone's dream home.
Over the past 13 years, I’ve worked on residential projects from multi-million dollar houses to small kitchen remodels and everything in between. No matter the scale, I’ve watched the same truth repeat: if a house doesn't flow well, no amount of style or square footage can fix it.
Top: Me. Left, my husband and best friend. Right: My two sons and the lights of my life.
MY REALLY OFFICIAL BIO, the TL:DR VERSION
Heather is the founder of Heather Hanson Homes. She's an architect who is passionate about how a house flows. She hopes to be known for bringing relief to homeowners & breathing new life into existing homes.

I live for good cup of coffee and an ice cream cone. Seriously, I can't say no.

Friends is 1000x better than Seinfeld and I will die on that hill.
I grew up with two sisters, no brothers, so I'm learning all about boyhood as a mother of two boys.
