Mike Malloy
Owner and Principal Architect

Architect Mike Malloy.  Lorna Malloy Co-owner

With over 15 years of experience as an architect working in the construction industry, Mike is uniquely positioned as an architect with experience building projects. In addition to designing and completing construction documents, Mike has also worked extensively as a Construction Project Manager, building the projects he has designed and drafted. With this experience comes the advantage of knowing how to navigate the construction industry - this translates to projects designed on budget and built on budget.  

 

Mike pursued his architectural education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Masters of Architecture degree. Studying in an urban environment, Mike was trained by professors that were also practicing architects. This real-world education was invaluable as the classroom extended to construction sites across Chicago. 

 

Mike is a licensed architect in Illinois, Wisconsin, Wyoming and is an NCARB Certificate holder.
