Mike’s ongoing objective is to understand and produce well-conceived and well-constructed projects that are beautiful, functional, and adaptable for their occupants. Mike works at the nexus of architecture and building science, with experience across institutional, single-family and multi-unit residential, and public art projects. As a Certified Passive House Designer, he has enthusiasm for passive design strategies and alternative or provocative approaches to sustainability.
Mike holds a Master of Architecture from Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) where he was named to the RAIC Honour Roll and received funding for a term program in Vienna. His graduate thesis, Enclosure as Metaphor, treated the building enclosure as a cultural artifact and was awarded the OAA Guild Medal.
On Sundays he makes French toast and runs the Rail Trail, Bayfront, and Dundas Valley.
