PHILOSOPHY

 

At Michael J.K. Olsen Architects we are passionate about designing architecture that enlivens the spirit while being environmentally sustainable. Founded in 1994, we recognize that we have an opportunity and responsibility to preserve and enhance the very qualities that define place.  We accomplish this through “contextual” architecture that reflects not simply the Client, but the forms, details, and regional qualities of the surrounding landscape. Such “contextualism” results in a wide variety of design vernaculars built on a foundation of concise, sustainable, practical design solutions.
