ARCADEA is a contraction of ARCHITECTURAL IDEA. The idea unifies a design and makes it unique. Arcadia of Greek myth is a rustic mountain utopia, which is a bit like Boulder, and a tranquil setting of idyllic simplicity, which is a bit like what we aspire to create. We translate an idea or story that expresses what is most important to you into something beautiful, highly functional, and cost-efficient.
After listening carefully, we synthesize the practical and the artistic into a unified composition. Founded in 1995, our work has been televised and published nationally numerous times, and we have won some awards, but what matters most is what you like. People enjoy working with us, whether our clients or the people building our designs, because we strive to be considerate and to support a harmonious working team.

David Biek, principal architect, at Arcadea designed our dream house 17+ years ago. His attention to detail, ability to listen to your wants / needs and translate that in design is exceptional. Currently David and Sage are working on a two-story addition for us. I would recommend them without hesitation. Arcadea is a superior architectural firm.

I've worked with David Biek and his team on a home remodel project. They were thoughtful and creative in the effort. I really liked the 3D Models they provided early on. Those helped me understand what the remodeled space would be like when the project is complete. They were also quite experienced and helpful in guiding me through the Boulder planning department and local Subcontractors.

David Biek and Christopher Thorp of Arcadea Architecture designed our house. It wouldn't be fair to Arcadea to just call it our dream house; it's far better than anything we could have dreamed without their help. Their design was practical, affordable, thoughtful and beautiful. They optimized our use of the site, giving us enjoyable views north to south, and provided us with an extremely comfortable and serene home. They made it easy for us to describe what we wanted, make suggestions and discuss every aspect of the plan. Every building project requires compromise. Arcadea maintains a

Wonderful team headed by principal David Biek. my wife and i checked out 4 other local architects and went with David because of his experience and great cost analysis. we were thinking of going with a design/build firm but David was able to coordinate for a great contractor at a better design/build price than any other option. very thorough review meetings and extremely accessible. work product was excellent and many options were shown to us. Arcadea made us feel in control of costs and still get an excellent product. they coordinated the engineering, surveying, permit timeliness and applications

We have worked with David and Christopher for about five years now. They have really brought a lot to the table for us with their ideas, knowledge of codes and their experience. We appreciate working with such friendly and talented people and will continue to rely on them going forward. They are a valued business partner for our commercial properties.

We have often relied on David for his expertise and intuitive design sense. David’s ability to find the essence of a space and take full advantage of all that it can be, while still keeping in mind the desires of his clients, is impressive. His knowledge extends beyond just architecture in aspects of lighting, construction, and especially cost estimation. We could not recommend him more highly!
