Green home design for soulful living.
This is your home.
You can feel it in the way the space effortlessly responds to your needs. The light that hits just right. That drawer, exactly where you need it. The built-in nook that displays your greatest treasures: books, art, photos of those you love. Your view, framed perfectly.
Home isn’t a current trend or a “rock star” architect’s aesthetic…it’s a functioning place, built expressly for the people who will live life there.
Looking for a residential architect in Montana or Beyond?
I’m Tammy Minge: owner and sole green architect of Frog Rock Design, a sustainable home design studio tucked in the trees of the Bozeman’s Historic Bon Ton District.
My passion? Designing thoughtful spaces that support every detail of your best life.
I can’t tell you how much Bill and I love living in the perfect house that [Frog Rock] designed. The size, the light, the function, and the fact that we have two patios to follow or not follow the sun throughout the year! It is just a joy to come home. We actually find it difficult to think of paying money to go anywhere else.”
—Jan Miller, Bozeman, Montana
You live the majority of your life at home. More, if you’re lucky.
At home, you gather your loved ones. You soak up yourself. You work on your calling. You sleep, eat, and wash off the day. Home is where the simple business of being human happens. When your home is built just so, your routines elevate to magic.
If you’ve ever stood in a just-right sunbeam in your kitchen, sipping tea and gazing out the window, you know.
These are the moments I engineer into every blueprint.
Sustainable home design reveals you at your best.
The best sustainable architecture isn’t just a checklist of eco-friendly design features. Rather, it’s about how you personally engage with your space—and that’s different for everyone. Bookworms need reading nooks, chefs need kitchens, artists need studios, kids need playscapes. Every square foot needs to be impeccably designed for real-life use, down to the details.
Green design prioritizes what you’ll love…and skips what you won’t.
An author’s office demands inspiring natural light, but a video producer’s calls for darkness—so we can skip the European windows on the latter. An enthusiastic cook requires a considered path from farmhouse sink to fridge to six-burner stove to spacious prep surface…but the busy executive who loves to eat out prefers a simple kitchen centered on an espresso machine.
This is why it’s so key to design homes to people—because there’s nothing greener than forgoing what you won’t miss anyway.
You have one time in this life to really live.
To gather your favorite people, to work towards your passions, to reflect on daily moments. And so much of it happens at home.
Live this fleeting life well—in a space made expressly for you, by an architect who sees you, your preferences, and your possibilities.

We live in a home that is more fabulous than we could have ever imagined. After interviewing between fifteen and twenty architectural firms in the western states, we were lucky to work with Frog Rock. We gravitate to each room and space. After nearly one year of living in the house, we wouldn’t change a thing! We could not have asked for a better architect, a better working relationship, or a better end result, and would embark on another building project with Frog Rock without hesitation.”
