FERNHILL'S STORY
Milestones mark our ascent, chapters define our growth, and an unwavering commitment to design excellence propels us forward.
1990s
A Seed Is Planted
Growing up, Alex was immersed in the construction industry, heavily influenced by his father, a finish carpenter and general contractor, and his grandfather, an immigrant carpenter. This early exposure instilled in him a profound respect for craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the nuances of construction.
2009
Early Days
Before founding Fernhill Build Studio, Alex successfully ran a company specializing in siteworks within the commercial and municipal sectors. This phase of his career honed his skills in large-scale project management, complex logistical coordination, and high standards of professionalism. However, his true passion lay in the creative aspect of construction, the art of transforming a vision into reality.
2015
New Zealand Inspiration
Alex's yearning for creative fulfillment led him to New Zealand, where he spent several years reconnecting with his love for design and craftsmanship. The serene landscapes and innovative architectural styles of New Zealand provided the perfect backdrop for this period of rediscovery.
2023
Ferhill Is Born
Returning to the United States with a revitalized vision, Alex launched Fernhill Build Studio in Boulder, Colorado. His mission was clear: to bring the lessons learned from his extensive experience in commercial and municipal construction to the residential sector, applying them with a delicate touch. At Fernhill Build Studio, the focus is on creating homes that reflect clients’ unique visions, built with precision and care.
2025
The Future is Bright
Molkentin’s vision is clear: to create homes that reflect the unique visions of his clients, built with the utmost precision and care.
