Michael John Vivien Architect is a design-oriented Architecture and Planning firm specializing in custom residential and urban-infill multi-family and commercial, mixed-use projects that encompass a refined sensitivity toward the building's site, climate and context.

We believe that natural environment and human endeavor are not mutually exclusive and work rigorously in the pursuit of intuitive and honest design solutions that demonstrate a stewardship toward and a regeneration of the natural systems and native ecologies found onsite.We seek to craft a dialogue between the natural landscape and the built environment in order to develop thoughtful design solutions that are both sustainable and economically prudent.
