Culture - A&E Design

Our culture

A different kind of studio.

It is the blending of our people, our passions, and our purpose. At A&E, we are proud to celebrate our culture and excited to help you create your own.

For Big Sky Schools, design does more than support

For Big Sky Schools, design does more than support learning – it expands horizons. Protected by a sloped, airy roof that merges a familiar mountain aesthetic with snow-ready practically, topographic wall graphics connect students to both local and global landscapes, helping them see their surroundings – and themselves – as part of a wide, interconnected world of learning and exploration.

The Blackfeet Wellness Center is a community space

The Blackfeet Wellness Center is a community space shaped by the land, culture, and vision of the Blackfeet people. A&E Design is working in close collaboration with the tribe, weaving their values into the very foundation of the building—from its orientation within the landscape to its use of sustainable building materials. With the Medicine Wheel as a guiding framework, this sacred space supports interconnection, cultural pride, and community wellbeing in a holistic, rooted way.

👻 Is the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel Haunted? 🏨 Built in 1883 and renovated many times over the years, the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel has a history as rich as Yellowstone itself… and maybe, a few lingering spirits.

Before the hotel's multi-million-dollar renovation in 2019, strange things often happened. Doors in the north wing would refuse to open for no reason, only to work perfectly a few minutes later. One housekeeper reported a door slamming shut behind her, trapping her outside the room—when she finally got back in, a heavy dresser had mysteriously moved to block the door. Moments later, the dresser was back in its place as if nothing had happened!

Other spooky occurrences—like furniture moving by itself or storage rooms being mysteriously rearranged—have left many wondering if the hotel has a mischievous resident ghost. Some believe it’s Emily, the daughter of a U.S. Cavalry chaplain who passed away in 1903 and is buried nearby.

Guests and staff alike have reported hearing a little girl’s laughter and tiny footsteps in the halls, even when no children are present. Could it be Emily still playing her pranks in the hotel?
