Colin Edward Slais became interested in architecture at age 11 when his family built their first home. He spent numerous hours in those formative years pouring over drawings, talking to contractors and visiting construction sites. After high school, he went on to obtain a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the highly-respected University of Kansas, then further studied in Europe. Upon returning home, he worked for a St. Louis architect until deciding to move to Phoenix in 1995 where the architecture was "new, young and vibrant!" Since then he has worked on several successful projects throughout the valley, gaining experience and skills that clients look for in a professional architect. He continues with his own practice to expand upon a reputation of top-quality work with the attention to detail that his clients and he expect.
