ABOUT US

Our Mission

To become the architectural firm of choice for all who value creativity and functionality, with a commitment to excellence and overwhelming satisfaction!

Booth Architecture first opened in 2004 with previous years of experience and knowledge. We have a small, caring, and skillful staff. With dedication, we create professional, long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Long-Term Business

Booth Architecture first opened its doors in 2004 but carries an abundant amount of knowledge well beyond this period. Some expertise comes from a previous partnership with Wallace & Booth Architects and occupation at Wallace-Hudson & Associates. Throughout the years, Booth Architecture has been involved with several projects changing in size and intricacy.

Personalized Service, Proven Results

Although the staff is small, it contains a great deal of care and skill. Our small staff has given our clientele a more personal experience and trust in knowing that their project will not be handed down the chain of command. Being smaller allows us to have tighter communication and straight forward management of projects. We take pride in satisfying our clients by designing a final product well beyond their desires. With our great dedication, we have created a professional and long-lasting relationship with each client.

Our Team

At Booth Architecture, we believe the best designs come from listening, collaborating, and getting to know the people behind each project. Our team combines decades of architectural experience with a genuine passion for helping clients bring their ideas to life.

We invite you to learn a little about the people behind Booth Architecture and the experience each brings to the table.

TED

Ted Booth

[Founder/Principal Architect]

As Founder and Principal Architect of Booth Architecture, Ted partners closely with clients from the earliest planning stages through construction, creating spaces that balance functionality, lasting value, and thoughtful design. His practical approach, extensive construction knowledge, and commitment to building strong client relationships have earned the trust of businesses, organizations, and communities for decades.

A Lifetime of Designing for Community

Ted Booth has been designing buildings that shape communities since 1988. Over the course of his career, he has led the design of healthcare facilities, schools, churches, municipal buildings, financial institutions, industrial facilities, commercial developments, renovations, and custom homes throughout Idaho and the surrounding region.

While every project is different, Ted's philosophy has remained the same: listen first, understand each client's vision, and create spaces that are functional, enduring, and thoughtfully designed for the people who use them.

One of the most rewarding parts of his career has been watching communities grow alongside the buildings he helped bring to life. From helping local businesses expand to restoring historic structures and designing spaces that serve families for generations, Ted believes great architecture leaves a lasting impact far beyond the building itself.

With decades of experience and a strong background in construction, Ted approaches every project with both creativity and practicality. His ability to balance design, functionality, and real-world constructability helps clients make informed decisions that create lasting value.

Beyond the Blueprint

For Ted, architecture isn't just a profession, it's a lifelong passion.

He and his wife enjoy traveling throughout the country in their motorcoach, often planning trips around remarkable architecture, historic buildings, and communities with unique design stories. Whether visiting the work of renowned architects or discovering inspiration in a small-town main street, Ted believes every place has something to teach.

When he's not meeting with clients or developing new designs, you'll likely find him spending time with family, exploring somewhere new, or traveling with the couple's well loved four-legged road trip companion.
