Portfolio
Marcia A. Mikesh Architect Inc. practices architecture locally in the Willamette Valley, with
occasional work on the Pacific coast.
Marcia A. Mikesh utilizes her architectural services to convert a client’s goals, values, and vision into built
form by listening to the needs, wants, and desires of her clients. An essential start to understanding the project
opportunities and client goals is meeting with the client at the project site. Additionally, she will coordinate
the production of the project documents representing the client’s interests, code requirements, and good
design.
With each project, clients are encouraged to build healthier environments and thoughtfully employ natural
resources for sustainability within the ecological site along with green building designs that meet a client’s
goals and values. Marcia A. Mikesh Architect Inc. has incorporated passive solar design in projects since 1990.
Accessible Design and Universal Design have been incorporated into projects since the beginning of the
architectural practice. Apartment projects provide wheelchair accessible apartments in addition to accessible
common gathering areas. Many single family home remodel and addition projects have added features which allow
clients to age in place. Marcia Mikesh served on the Oregon Construction Contractor Board’s Universal Design
advisory panel in 2006.
