John Carney, FAIA
Since establishing Carney Architects in 1992, John Carney, FAIA, has dedicated his practice to enriching the architectural lexicon of the American Mountain West while maintaining profound reverence for regional tradition and contextual authenticity. His sophisticated reinterpretation of vernacular architecture weaves together modernist innovation and classical sensibilities, creating a distinctive regional aesthetic that honors place while embracing progress. Drawing inspiration from formative summers spent on his family's ranch along the Upper Green River, Carney developed a visceral appreciation of the area's rich historical narrative and enduring agrarian heritage—influences that continue to infuse and elevate his architectural vision.
Following the successful transformation of Carney Logan Burke Architects into a distinguished 50-person firm, Carney departed in 2019 to establish Prospect Studio, which has flourished into an 18-member practice with offices in Jackson Hole and Chicago. Throughout his tenure at his predecessor firm, Carney and his team shepherded over 200 projects to completion, ranging from private residences to significant public works including the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve, the Home Ranch Welcome Center, JH Center for the Arts Performing Arts Pavilion, the Sublette County Library, St. John’s Church, Caldera House, and The Cloudveil Hotel.
Carney's commitment to community extends beyond his architectural practice. He has served as both Teton County Commissioner and Planning Commissioner, while contributing his expertise to numerous non-profit organizations including the Jackson Hole Historical Society, and the Jackson Hole Land Trust. His sixteen-year tenure on the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Board allowed him to influence the design direction of numerous significant projects at the resort. As a regional representative of the College of Fellows, Carney has been instrumental in reconstituting the Western Mountain Region of the AIA, and regularly shares his expertise through lectures and award jury participation throughout the country. This distinguished career in both architecture and public service has provided him with an influential platform from which to champion exemplary design principles within the architectural profession.

Stephen Dynia, FAIA
Since the inception of his practice, Stephen Dynia has explored innovative architectural solutions that synthesize ideas from nature, universal design principles, and urban culture. In rural or dense contexts, in public and private commissions, site analysis and user needs inform a process that shapes space, form and light into architecture that is unique to place, responsive to purpose and of its time.
Stephen received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and an Architecture degree from the Rhode Island School of Design. Before establishing his practice in Wyoming in 1994, he was a designer with Skidmore Owings and Merrill in New York, involved in large commercial architecture and planning projects in the US and abroad. He interned with Warren Platner Architects in New Haven, CT, working on furniture and product designs.
Stephen’s commitment to the arts and the profession includes roles on the boards of community arts organizations in Jackson, the board of directors of the Wyoming Chapter of the AIA, and the advisory board of the Artemis Institute. His work is published in books and periodicals and has been acknowledged with numerous AIA Design Awards and 2008 AIA Wyoming Firm of the Year.

Bruce Hawtin, FAIA
Bruce started his own office in 1971 in Jackson, Wyoming, following work experience that took him to the District of Colombia and overseas to Denmark. He completed twelve years as a member of the State Board of Architects and Landscape Architects, serving as president for five years. He is a past president of the Wyoming Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and was made a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1998. He has won four recent AIA Merit Awards for projects completed at Hawtin Jorgensen Architects. Bruce has served on several nonprofit boards, including being elected to four terms as a trustee at St. John’s Medical Center. Bruce currently serves as Vice President on the Board of Directors for both the Latino Resource Center and Habitat for Humanity. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oklahoma.
Bruce feels more connected to the valley than anywhere else he has been 43 years of living in a place will do that. This sense of belonging translates to his relationship with clients as well. He takes tremendous pride in the projects that his firm has completed, feeling that each one has made a positive contribution to the fabric of the Jackson Hole community. “At our firm, we take the time to have detailed discussions and develop a well-thought-out plan before we ever embark on a project. Getting to know the client is the key element of developing a successful building.”
With strong roots in the community, Bruce and his wife often go for hikes in Grand Teton National Park and treasure the opportunity to visit Yellowstone. They work out at a gym, travel, read and visit with their grandchildren. Bruce maintains close ties to the University of Oklahoma, where he began his career in architecture after serving in the U.S. Army in Korea.

Eric Logan, FAIA
In a moment when technology dominates our lives, Eric Logan’s architecture returns us to nature. Born and raised in Wyoming, Eric’s designs are deeply intertwined with the landscape of this storied place. His work has pushed the architecture of the Mountain West towards a contemporary expression that is bold, contextual, and materially rich, yet always sensitive and reflective of its natural surroundings. From here, the work has expanded outward to locales around the globe and across all scales. Drawing from his roots in the Rocky Mountain West, Eric and CLB have defined a nationally recognized design language that connects people to place.
Over his three decades at CLB, an architecture and interior design firm with studios in Jackson, Wyoming and Bozeman, Montana, Eric’s work has spanned from residential to commercial and from functional to artful. Across scale and typology, Eric’s devotion is to a purity of form, an honesty of materials, and a love of craft, yielding places that inspire a deeper connection between people, and with our surroundings. Eric has led a variety of site-sensitive adaptive re-use and new construction projects, including private residences, resort facilities, and visitor centers across the U.S. and Canada and as far as Japan. His work has received over 100 design accolades and has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Architectural Digest, Wallpaper, Dwell, and Architectural Record, among others.
Eric’s designs often combine local culture and time-honored craft traditions with innovative construction methods, allowing for multigenerational experiences against the backdrop of nature. This is crystallized in Eric’s many public art projects, in locations ranging from the Mountain West to New York City, which articulate his commitment to environmental and social sustainability. A throughline in his work, Eric has embraced public art for its capacity to build community engagement from the ground up. Recognized by the AIA as a “Citizen Architect” for contributions to his community, Eric was a founding member and served on the Town of Jackson Design Review Committee for 12 years. Whether an art installation, a private home, or a public space, Eric uses the medium of architecture to enhance the connections that bind us, reminding us of the beauty and fragility of nature, and our collective place within it.
