About Us

Founded in 1994, Tobias Architecture is a boutique architecture + project management practice with offices in Malibu, California and Bigfork, Montana. Tobias Architecture brings decades of experience to Montana’s Flathead Valley, designing homes that reflect the character and beauty of the region. From lakeside retreats to mountain residences, every design is crafted with precision, function, and a deep respect for the land. Each project benefits from direct involvement with Lester Tobias, ensuring design excellence from start to finish.

Designing in Montana means responding to the terrain, climate, and natural setting. Tobias Architecture creates homes that align with the land, taking full advantage of views, light, and seasonal change. Every project begins with a detailed site analysis to determine access, grading, and layout. The result is a property that feels intentional and connected to its surroundings. Our work incorporates advanced structural systems, energy efficiency, and sustainable materials suited for mountain weather and regional conditions. We maintain strong relationships with builders, engineers, and consultants across Montana to ensure each project progresses smoothly and meets the highest standards of craftsmanship.
