MICHAEL J. HARLOCK, PRINCIPAL AT MICHAEL J. HARLOCK A.I.A.
We are a full-service architectural and interiors practice specializing in residential
projects, new and remodeled, with an emphasis on empowering the vision of
homeowners through communication and designs that speak to the functional and
emotional meaning of home for each individual.
Briefly describe your business philosophy. Home has a different meaning
for everyone. Our strongest value-add is the collaboration we develop with
homeowners to create environments that inspire and nurture them in their
journey home.
What is your competitive edge? We do all the things architects normally do, except
we spend more time listening: How else to understand your housing needs and what
home means to you and your family?
Your thoughts regarding working with a spouse, family, or partner? We believe
communication is a design tool. That includes spouses absolutely, and everyone who
enjoys your home. We don’t speak pet, but we hear the whispers.
What makes you excel at what you do? After my architectural education, I worked
as a city planner in Marin County. Our understanding of the approvals process saves
time, money and headaches for our clients.
