An award-winning architect, Michael draws on his inspired vision to see beyond the usual. As our design director for western Canada, he leads the design for a wide range of building types including institutional, commercial, retail, healthcare, hospitality, academic, and cultural. Projects range from urban and campus planning to large to small buildings and installations.
Michael and his colleagues have designed spaces for the Manitoba Museum and Manitoba Centennial Centre, University of Manitoba, RRC Polytech, the First Nations University of Canada, and the City of Winnipeg. Currently, his allied team of architects, engineers, and sustainability specialists are working on FortWhyte Alive’s Buffalo Crossing. Aiming to be Manitoba’s most sustainable building, it has achieved the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) Zero Carbon Building Design Standard and is targeting Passive House Certification.
When he’s not designing award-winning spaces, Michael teaches professional practice in the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Architecture.
