Schemata Workshop

Mike Mariano is a founding principal of the practice, an architect with a critical eye, and the ability of knowing when to bring a fresh-approach or time-tested one to a problem. He has considerable construction administration experience, an understanding of the complexity of the development process and in the studio provides thoughtful design leadership for high-performance buildings and communities.

Mike left for Chicago in 1993 after graduating from the Washington State University School of Architecture. Returning home to Seattle in 1999, Mike worked with the Miller/Hull Partnership for five years, during which time he also acquired a Certificate in Commercial Real Estate Development from the University of Washington.
