Michael Lee Beidler has always been interested with the intimate
connection between sentient beings and their contextual
environments. As a child, he would watch and learn from people,
animals, and other living creatures as they interacted with each
other and the world around them, whether that was people in
their homes, deer playing in a field, or carpenter ants foraging in
the rain forest. The interconnected nature of all living things and
the way we craft our living environments for comfort, pleasure,
worship, or to protect and nurture ourselves has always fascinated
Beidler, and led him to found his own full-service architectural and
interior design atelier.
The Trout Design Studio team always strives to make their projects
are as real, honest, exciting, and full of wonder and discovery as
possible. To do that, they watch and listen intently to what their
clients are—and aren't— saying about their needs and wants, and
also the project's context. For Beidler, the solution to any question
or problem lies within its context, and it's finding the correct
solution among many that results in a project that not only satisfies
the "now" but also the "future."
