Michael Merschat, AIA
Principal Architect
Michael grew up on a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains outside Asheville, NC. After graduating from the University of Tennessee College of Architecture and Design, he moved up to Washington, DC, to pursue his career in architecture. He currently serves as the AIA Potomac Valley Chairperson in the Capitol Area Custom Residential Architecture Network.

After two decades of city life, Michael returned home and found renewed connection with the land and rural community of his youth.
He believes that we have an opportunity to bring thoughtful design principles into every home, effortlessly blending the natural flow of the land with modern architecture.

Waylon + Lucy
Design Dogs
Waylon and Lucy are sweet Lab-Pit mixes and they love taking walks, sleeping in the office, and snoring through architecture design charrettes.
This brother and sister duo remind us everyday that no matter how busy we are, it's always a great time to take a break, get outside, and breathe in the miracle of another beautiful day.
