About.
Solstice is a multidisciplinary architecture studio shaping homes and community-rooted spaces from concept to construction. Rooted in Salt Lake City, Utah and Southeast Ohio, with projects across the U.S.
Since 2020, we’ve collaborated with clients to shape environments that support how they live, work, and connect. From early ideas to final details, our work is driven by clarity, connection, and care. What we do lives at the intersection of architecture, art, and process.
We are principled but not rigid.
We don’t follow a single style. We are curious but not aimless, practical but not limited, relaxed but not indifferent.
Every project begins as a conversation; an exploration of place, constraints, ideas, form, experience and materials.
Service is our signature.
For us, it’s not just about delivering great design, but building real relationships along the way. Every project is a balance of bold ideas and grounded execution. We aim to create spaces that feel intuitive, lasting, and like they belong.
Our approach is rooted in architectural depth, shaped by hands-on construction knowledge, and informed by building science. We create spaces that support comfort, performance, and wellbeing, drawing on experiential design and Passive House principles.
Founded by architectural designer Caroline Wallace and architect Shay Myers, partners in work and life, who believe the best architecture begins with listening. Our remote team is grounded in craft, curiosity, and care, with a focus on design excellence and the business that sustains it.
Solstice continues to learn from clients, colleagues, and the land itself. While no two projects are the same, the goal is always consistent: to create spaces that reflect the people who use them, and that stand the test of time.
Let’s create something meaningful together.

TESTIMONIALS
We worked with Solstice for a project at our rural home. The end result is beautiful. The design is very unique with the use of two pieces of rammed earth that have garnered many compliments. I am very impressed with the creativity and attention to detail that this company provides. I will definitely work with them on future projects. - Becky M.
