Mikiten Architecture is a dynamic, socially and environmentally responsible firm and are national-award-winning experts in single- and multi-family housing, and Universal Design.
We combine a strong architectural vocabulary with the grace of nature: richness with serenity. Our working style is clear, collaborative, and flexible. We employ cutting-edge computer modeling to investigate design possibilities. Our construction drawings are thoroughly detailed, providing effective cost control. Most importantly, our work revolves around the client.
Erick Mikiten, AIA, founded Mikiten Architecture in 1991 to bring higher levels of artistic design, sustainability, and Universal Design to affordable housing and mixed-use projects. As a wheelchair-riding architect he realized that despite 30 years of the ADA, the profession needs to stretch beyond those basic requirements. In 2021 we created a new firm - a coalition of lived-experience designers and experts - to champion new thinking about combining great design and great inclusion, called The Art of Access.
Now Mikiten Architecture and The Art of Access design our own projects, partner with global architectural firms on tech workplace projects, and consult on everything from libraries to museums to high-end homes. Our combined goal is to bring better, more dynamic and creative design to everything we touch, and to elevate Universal Design from mere code compliance to an art form.
