Tristan has been with BVH Architecture for over a decade, bringing a deep curiosity and thoughtful approach to every project he takes on. He enjoys the challenge of working on complex projects that serve a broad audience and leave a lasting impact on the community.
Some of his recent work includes the Anne E. Nelson Early Learning Center, the Tom Osborne Legacy Complex at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and the Academic Excellence Center at Southeast Community College—each reflecting his interest in creating spaces that are both meaningful and widely experienced.
Tristan is highly proficient in Autodesk Revit and leads the firm’s BIM technology and implementation efforts. He manages BVH’s Revit template and firm standards, researches and integrates new tools and plugins, and coordinates with the firm’s IT provider across all three studios. His passion for architecture extends into the details, from exploring new materials and building codes to working closely with specification writers.
Outside of work, Tristan enjoys working on (and eventually riding) his motorcycle and has a deep appreciation for great coffee. He and his wife love to travel, having explored destinations such as China, Spain, Italy, France, Honduras, and South Africa. Their son shares their passion for adventure, especially tropical getaways to a beach.
