Mara-Gai Katz has been working as a designer and collaborator with her clients for 21 years; the last 17 of them in Bozeman, MT. While many of her projects are in Montana, spread across the Gallatin, Madison and Ruby Valleys, her work has taken her to both coasts and throughout the American West.
Her early exposure to historic preservation influenced her work; many of her projects have a historic component. Living in Montana has allowed her to expand her restoration work to historic ranches and properties.
Since 1995, Mara-Gai has taught as an Adjunct Professor in MSU's Dept. of Architecture; her approach to practice is as an educator. She is a collaborator by nature, and seeks projects with clients who enjoy involvement. She works on a range of project types, including custom residences, residential remodels/additions, and historic restoration and preservation. She sits on the Board of Directors ofseveral local and statewide preservation organizations.
Recent work has been inspired by compelling landscapes and high-tech and sustainable materials and strategies. She works comfortably with a range of aesthetics, both rustic and contemporary. Not given to a particular style, each project resonates with the voice of that client.
