Michelle Krochmal first realized she wanted to be an architect when she graduated to building designer dollhouses from visiting model homes while growing up outside Washington, DC. She moved to New York City to attend Cooper Union’s world-renowned architecture program and graduated in 1998. Degree in hand, Michelle spent the next decade exploring the country, living and practicing architecture in Southern California, San Francisco, and Boston, in firms large and small, before returning to New York. Along the way, she became a licensed architect in California and New York, as well as becoming a LEED ID+C professional and NCARB certified.
She has worked on many different types of buildings, from healthcare facilities, offices, and homes, including her own Brooklyn brownstone. She specializes in the interior experience and create spaces that are cost effective, sustainable and most of all delight, enliven and inspire.
