Introduction: Michael John Vivien Architects is a design-oriented architecture, planning and interiors firm specializing in custom residential and urban-infill, multifamily, 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.

Michael was extremely thorough in carrying out sun and shade studies for our complex to evaluate the impact of a new development next door. He went much further than requested and reviewed the development's architectural drawings to identify not only specific issues for our complex, but also offer detailed design solutions that we were then able to take to the city's planning commission. I strongly recommend Michael for his vivid design acumen and strong work ethic to anyone needing hands-on and innovative architectural design services..

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Architecture is fundamentally an analytical process, taking care to evaluate and study the unique set of problems that come with each project, and determining the best practices and procedures that lead to the right design solutions for the client. Every project is unique, open-mindedness and natural intuition are essential in order to make the decisions that will ultimately lead to the best project outcomes.
