I’m Heath Sullivan, a fifth‑year B.Arch candidate at Montana State University graduating Spring 2027. My work is concerned with climate-responsive housing, adaptive reuse of vernacular building stock, and the rituals of public gathering in small communities.
I’m seeking a summer 2026 internship with a firm that takes craft, research, and context seriously.
I grew up between Spokane and Bozeman, which probably explains the preoccupation with mountain towns and their built environment. I took a semester away from school in the spring of 2026 and returned with a clearer sense of what I want to make.
My studio work gravitates toward the quiet problems: how a porch handles a 9‑month winter, how a small‑town main street absorbs a new building without turning its back on the old ones, how the section through a room tells you more than any rendering. I draw by hand first, model in Rhino second, and render only when I have to.
Outside of studio, I ski (Mantra M5s, if you’re asking), cook, and read more than is probably useful. I’m looking for a summer internship where I can draw, make physical models, sit in on client meetings, and be genuinely useful to a small team.
