The Michael Sofia Architecture ethos is to design homes as sanctuaries; spaces of comfort, calm and connection. The practice’s work favours timeless over trendy, grounded in ethical practice, fine craftsmanship and a deep respect for nature. Every detail matters — and so every home feels personal.
“I have three meaningful practices to work from,” says founder and architect Sofia. “Firstly, I focus on meaningful architecture: design rooted in calm, clarity and timeless, avoiding trends in favour of enduring beauty and purpose. Integrity in practice is next: a commitment to honesty, ethics and respect in all aspects of work, from design decisions to professional relationships. And finally, connection to nature: creating designs that honour and integrate with their surroundings, using natural materials and passive design principles to foster well-being.”
