Follow is an architecture studio led by Colin and Andrea Ostman. Founded in 2018, we built Follow on the belief that we experience life most fully when we are aware of and immersed in the environment around us. Our goal is to create homes that do just that.


From our studio in Loveland, Colorado, we design homes that inspire a conversation between architecture and ecosystem. We mirror this exchange in our working relationships, collaborating closely and communicating openly with our clients throughout our projects.


We take care to consider the unique qualities of each place and person we work with. The unexpected elements we find shape the story we tell, allowing us to craft the right home for every site and situation.


As a husband and wife team, we know that there’s no place more personal than home. Designing them is a privilege that we both take to heart as we support our clients on the journey ahead.

THE TEAM

Andrea Ostman

A childhood spent on her father’s construction sites in Colorado and Wisconsin gave Andrea her first window into the built environment. Thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail with Colin in 2014 brought clarity to her practice: creating unique spaces that connect people to nature. Since establishing Follow in 2018, Andrea has continued to provide a depth of curiosity, creativity, technical knowledge, and eye for rich materiality to each project. Andrea is a licensed Architect in the state of Colorado.

Colin ostman, aia

Growing up immersed in the Sierra Foothills of California, Colin’s deep appreciation for the outdoors was formed over winters spent snowboarding and summers camping and hiking. His sharp eye for details and passion for precise, technical craft set him on a path of building with intention. Colin brings an exceptionally high level of craft to the practice, leaving no detail unresolved, and his personal experience with building enables an ability to guide each project to completion with unmatched quality. Colin is a licensed Architect in the state of Colorado and a member of the AIA.

Testimonials

"I like how their style is modern without feeling stark or sterile. The homes they design are really architecturally stunning, but also practical and functional spaces to live in."

"Follow's great at taking feedback and translating it into plan changes that get at what I actually want"

Owner, Pine Tree House

"As the house evolved, the beauty of how it captured the particular rock formations surprised me."
