Michael Dire

Entering the profession of architecture from a varied but design oriented career as a self-employed custom builder and the owner/lead artist of Liquid Tattoo Studio, Michael understands that the body of architecture lies within the integration of art, building science and forward thinking. With an emphasis during undergraduate school in film and painting, Michael is interested in developing processional, site specific designs that tell a story with the utilization of light through captured and open spaces. His belief that team involvement, critique and the continual questioning of the program and the design process will render distilled architectural spaces that are embodied with a collective voice, WE.
