WHY
US?

WE ARE THOROUGH

We immerse ourselves fully in preliminary site analysis, and continue that thoroughness throughout the design process. We often hold a value-engineering workshop with the preselected contractor, our engineers, and the client during the design phase to review system and material decisions, costs, and project delivery expectations. A follow-up workshop in the construction documents phase leads to quality documents that represent the entire team’s agreement. This also provides opportunity for a complete analysis of the construction costs. Finally, we stand firmly during the construction phase, helping the client to control costs.

WE ARE CREATIVE

We design buildings that people truly love; that they are proud to live or work in. We make beautiful light-filled interiors, and beautiful natural spaces outside. We are inspired by the endless richness of nature, and incorporate it into our work. And whether our buildings are set in an urban or natural landscape, we ensure that they are appropriate — that they not only complement but also enhance their surroundings.

WE ARE GREAT PROJECT LEADERS

The architect’s job is to be the hub of communications, and we take that task to heart. We are methodical in documenting every meeting and phone call to ensure that the entire project team is kept abreast of decisions from design through construction

WE ARE RESPONSIVE

We listen to our clients and respond to their needs with the best possible solution for the budget, time constraints, and site context. We work with our clients to conduct community meetings during the design phase to allow neighbors to voice their concerns. We listen carefully and make certain that reasonable concerns are addressed as we develop the design. We take being a good neighbor seriously, and by doing so have avoided having people file appeals to planning commissions or city counsels where we work. This results in projects with fewer compromises on the part of the client and less delays.

WE LOVE OUR WORK

Everyone at Mikiten Architecture is passionate about creating great, beautiful, and engaging multifamily housing. We only hire engineers and consultants who share that passion, and it shows in our buildings. We make an extra effort that results in places that inspire people. Our love of and pride in architecture is contagious, and makes the complex process of making a great building more effective and more enjoyable for the entire team.
