Bull Stockwell Allen has been at the forefront of resort, recreation and hospitality design and planning since its inception in the 1960’s. In addition to traditional design capabilities, we offer a variety of professional services including concepting, feasibility, and visualization.

We are recognized as a leader in four-season hospitality and recreation design, with unique mountain resort qualifications that go beyond the competition. Founded in 1968, Bull Stockwell Allen's portfolio represents our commitment to award-winning design and a dedication to the highest level of client communication and service. The firm has won over 78 major design awards including “Firm of the Year” by the American Institute of Architect’s California Council and a Presidential Design Award. The firm’s design philosophy grew out of a tradition of embracing environmentally responsible, contextual and honest design.

With design as our medium, BSA Architects creates “Place” based on humanity’s innate desire to explore the world through recreation and sustainable imagination. BSA creates enduring, sustainable architecture that perfectly blends structure, function, beauty, and emotion. Weaving together site, architecture, materiality, culture, and storytelling, we ensure the creation of a whole that far exceeds the sum of its parts.
