The Architect: Michael Huber
Based in Hudson, Wis., Michael Huber graduated from the University of Minnesota and is a registered architect. After college, he was hired by his former design professor and eventually became an Associate with the firm. In 2000, he struck out on his own and founded Michael Huber Architects. He insists his team is more creative with its projects than in coming up with a name for the firm.
Huber says his firm does not profess a design style, but works with clients to interpret their style. “We always start with the big picture then layer in the details using simple strong moves versus complexity and ornamentation,” he says. “Having fun and creating an environment of collaboration always leads to more innovative solutions. We are constantly learning how to respond to a set of parameters, such as site or budget issues, and develop a creative solution within them.”
Huber has been a guest juror for many architectural competitions and industry award programs, and his projects have also been featured on HGTV and published in local and national publications. He aspires to someday have his own television show like his childhood idol, Mike Brady. His website is mhuberarchitects.com.
