Cheryl Tolleson

"I graduated from the School of Architecture at The University of Texas, and then went on to study further at Oxford. In England, I developed a love for 'Townspaces' and Urban Planning and became involved with Master Planning projects for the Entertainment District of Oxford and the Historic Strand District in Galveston, Texas."

"But it was while living in Colorado, that I discovered my true passion: Residential Architecture, especially in the mountains. Of the many awards I have received, my most cherished is a first place award for 'Best Regional Design' for a home I designed in

Telluride, Colorado. To me this embodies my beliefs that great architecture isn't just about style, it's about how it enriches and compliments its natural environment. It's enduring and timeless. Just like 'Townscapes' and the urban environment: if your home is an exhilarating place to be, it's because there's an underlying pattern that pulls everything together and makes it an incredibly rich experience, inside and out."

Cheryl's architecture has been featured in many regional and international magazines; and she has contributed to many articles ranging from 'Architecture for Mountain Communities' to 'Designing the Perfect Mud Room'.

She's also a world traveler, international scuba diver, enjoys downhill and cross-country skiing, water skiing and visits Mexico and Central America to study Mayan Civilization.
