Michael has been at the vanguard of the “green” design movement since its inception. He studied with the pioneers of this new school of architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, and has gone on to lead residential and commercial projects in British Columbia and throughout California. His immersion in California’s remote coastal regions has informed his aesthetic and practical approach to design, both of which emphasize comfortable, elegant, human-scale designs that work in harmony with the natural surroundings.
Michael’s designs have won him accolades from clients, fans, and colleagues. His work is featured regularly in events by the Northcoast Soroptimists, and work has been featured in Architecture Week, Cadalyst, and House Beautiful magazines, as well as the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat. He was recently selected to lead the design and construction of an ambitious community recreation and aquatics center in Gualala, California. His work is endorsed by Andersen Windows and Doors, Inc., and Healdsburg Lumber.
