Thruline is dedicated to the notion that good design and good building are complementary practices that inform, inspire, and support each other.

We are located in downtown Bozeman, MT and work regionally.
Lotus grew up in Montana and holds a BA in Studio Art from Reed College and a Masters in Architecture from UC Berkeley. Before studying architecture, she spent six years training under her Dad as a fifth generation builder, contractor, and woodworker. Her experience positions Thruline at the intersection of the expressiveness of art, the precision of design, and the constraints of construction. She considers environmental principles and sustainable practices to be a critical part of creating a renewable future and brings that perspective to her work. With deep respect for the skills and expertise of the entire design and building team, Lotus values working with diverse people and professions to create durable, responsible, beautiful buildings that contribute to the wellbeing of the people and communities they serve.
