Ideal Wilderness Studio was founded by Kathleen Fogler, AIA in 2025 as a design practice dedicated to integrating natural and built environments through a contemporary approach to critical regionalism — one that recognizes the intelligence of local landscapes and the civic potential of everyday environments.

Grounded in the belief that meaningful places emerge from the balanced relationship between people, nature, and the built environment, the studio approaches every project as an opportunity to create environments and buildings that are ecologically attuned, culturally resonant, and deeply connected to the communities they serve.
