Cydney Means AIA, NCARB, Principal Architect

Specializing in custom residential and commercial architecture, Studio CMS Architects provides a diverse range of experience, creativity and thoughtful functionality to every design. We view architecture not as a single practice, but as several interlocking ones. Landscapes are inseparable from structures, ecology is inseparable from building requirements, and improving human experience is the ultimate goal of any project. Aesthetic movements come and go, but we have found these principles to be timeless.

Cydney Means , AIA NCARB

As a partner and representative to clients, Cydney strives for honesty and clarity. Her main responsibility is to understand the client’s vision and needs and use her experience to transfer these ideas into a piece of art. Cydney values timeliness, direct communication and prototypes over presentations. Growing up in Wyoming and attending college in Bozeman, Montana, a deep appreciation for her natural surroundings developed and transfers into every aspect of her work.

Cydney is a licensed architect in Wyoming and Arizona, as well as a member of NCARB and AIA. With over ten years of experience, Cydney has worked on some truly amazing projects, ranging from custom residential projects to large scale aviation architecture and everything in between. Having a well-rounded repertoire has created a wealth of knowledge in construction, design and building systems that is infused into every project.

Over the past ten years, Cydney have been fortunate to work with clients to their vision and bringing it to life, creating spaces that they inhabit with ease. The success of a building is determined by its usefulness and how well it continues to perform, but also how the occupants feel and interact with the space created.
