OUR TEAM.
Solstice Design Build is an architecture studio with offices in Salt Lake City, UT and Southeast OH. Founded by Caroline Wallace and Shay Myers, our team creates highly crafted design solutions with a focus on client collaboration and sustainability. With projects throughout the Mountain west and Midwest our team is equally comfortable working in the desert, mountains, plains or city.
Caroline and Shay had a vision to build a team passionate about and committed to quality, inventive design and high-performing, sustainably focused architecture. That vision was sketched out on a scrap of paper on a summer solstice night high up in the mountains, and Solstice Design Build came to be.
The quality of our environment directly affects our quality of life. We work with you to integrate all of the components that make a space beautiful, healthy and efficient. Solstice Design Build is trained and certified in the Passive House building standard and are DOE Zero Energy Ready Home Partners. We are members of the Women’s Business Center of Utah.
