For more than 135 years, CSHQA has designed buildings that define spaces. Founded in Boise in 1889 and 100% employee-owned since 2018.
Architecture, engineering, interior design, planning, and landscape architecture work under one roof, so drawings coordinate before they reach the field. That discipline shows up on the projects CSHQA takes on: airport terminals that stay open through construction, grocery stores tied to fixed opening dates, courthouses and public buildings, hotels, campus facilities, and century-old landmarks returned to daily use.
More than 100 professionals work from Boise, Denver, and Sacramento. CSHQA has licensed professionals to meet our clients’ needs across the nation.
Ten markets anchor the practice: adaptive reuse, aviation, government and civic, grocery, historic preservation and restoration, higher education, hospitality, multifamily housing, retail, and workplace.
ENR named CSHQA the 2025 Intermountain Design Firm of the Year. Five core values shape the work: Collaboration, Knowledge, Creativity, Integrity, and Excellence. Employee ownership means the people drawing your project hold a stake in how it turns out.
