Derek Hurd

Derek is a founding Principal of Gravitas. A native Vermonter, Derek adventured west for school and completed the Master of Architecture program at Montana State University in Bozeman. Through his college years Derek also built log and stick framed homes from foundation through turnkey gaining valuable hands on experience that he brings to the firm. Derek never grows tired of the new and exciting challenges that an ever diverse client base brings to the table. He enjoys the relationship and communication skills that designing custom homes demands as much as the creative and technical skills it requires. Off hours, Derek is passionate about furniture design and creation as well as quality time in the outdoors, snowshoeing, telemark skiing, and canoeing. Derek enjoys working and creating at sPacePort, a hub of artistic activity and two blocks to lunch on the Boise River. Here he shares office space with Noah, a super talented builder, Colleen, who does more things than super glue and Swiss Army knives, and his wife, the Executive Director of AIA Pacific & Northwest Region, and Vera, the ever loving Jack Russell.
