About Us

drinkwineDESIGNS helps homeowners design custom homes, major additions, and renovations across Colorado’s Front Range and Montana—balancing vision, technical constraints, and budget so your project moves forward with confidence.

We support clients through the full design journey—from early concept and schematic design through detailed construction drawings and targeted construction‑phase support—with a primary focus on residential work and select small commercial projects.

drinkwineDESIGNS was established by J. Nate Drinkwine, a Registered Architect, and a LEED Accredited Professional. Nate grew up understanding that the name Drinkwine means, “one who drinks from the pleasures of life.” drinkwineDESIGNS is built on the conviction that pragmatic and beautifully designed spaces are one of the pleasures in life.

Nate began his career designing civic spaces for institutions in Colorado. Nate then branched out establishing drinkwineDESIGNS and has successfully applied his experience to the residential and commercial markets. Nate collaborates with a network of contractors, engineers and interior designers who assist in transforming both an individual and investor’s vision into reality.

Nate is a fourth-generation Coloradan who is licensed in Colorado, Montana, Arkansas and New York.
