Our Story

How many architects really understand their clients?

We don’t know the exact answer to the question above, but what we do know is: Matias Daroch, MIK Architecture founder, has been in his client's shoes and therefore takes the time to really understand every clients individual needs.

As a Chilean architect, he landed in Miami to lead his family's real state investments. Realizing very soon that he would be better served if he became a registered architect himself.

Fast-forward a few years; Matias became a registered architect and founded MIK Architecture on January 2020, to serve not only his family's business, but also a handful of starting real estate developers and investors.

Today, we work with developers and investors who want to design modern or contemporary-style residential architecture in South Florida. Together, we create desirable spaces that sell well and fast by understanding the market and the end-user's wants and needs.

Why the name 
MIK Architecture?

MIK Architecture stands for Marketable Modern, Integrity-Driven, and Knowldge-Powered. This philosphy informs all of the spaces we create so that developers and homeowner's alike can experience profound value.

Let's Work Together
MIK Architecture designs contemporary modern homes in Miami, FL, with a substantial advantage. Our journey in luxury construction started with development. Based on our experience as developers, we have created a process that pairs the highest standards of design with a practical investment focus. In other words, our designs don't exist in a vacuum. They are based on the occupants lifestyle and implemented in a manner that drives long term value (both financially, and experientially). This is where "Marketable Modern" comes from.

We love living in Miami. It's a gorgeous city with an amazing history (that we cover in our blog) and are proud to call "The Magic City" home. Because of this, we are invested in contributing to Miami's lasting beauty and to the priceless experiences of those who choose to live here, too. This passion for adding to our community means we stand behind our work. We're always pushing our standards to the highest level. And we love being able to look our investment partners and clients in the eye and know that we are delivering the very best in terms of outcomes, process, materials, design, relationships, and more. We are "Integrity-Driven" in all that we do because what we do, matters.

As for the last part of it, the real estate investment and development game can be nuanced, complex, and oftentimes confusing. To alleviate that stress and amplify the joy of creating an amazing residence, we are up-to-date on all local building requirements, design practices, material benefits, construction practices, and so much more. We leverage advanced technologies for precision outcomes and cross-team alignment - not to mention the fact that our modeling and 3D walk-throughs make the journey fun. Le't not forget about that last part. Remember when the prospect of building a gorgeous home was full of excitement? Our "Knowledge-Powered" approach keeps you on the cutting edge for only premium results.
We love this question! MIK Architecture was born from our experience as developers just like you. We noticed a gap in the market where luxurious residential designs were underwhelming, communication was poor, timelines often delayed or abandoned, and profitability slim. 

Since forming MIK Architecture, we've put world-class contemporary design to the test project after project and have established a process that is creative, responsible, reliable, and profitable. 

So whether you're looking at building a multi-family dwelling or an ultra-luxurious waterfront home, we invite you to explore our work and give us a call.

Our projects are smashing sales records in their respective neighborhoods and we encourage you to imagine what something like that could mean for the reputation of your group.
At MIK Architecture, we focus exclusively on designing the most luxurious contemporary homes. This style is perfect for life in South Florida because it embraces natural light, open concept floor plans, and distinctive features that ensure weather resilience and long term habitable utility.

When someone is considering a contemporary home as a possible style, coastal designs and Mediterranean revival are usually on the table as an option. And don't get us wrong, these are time-tested beautiful designs as well but here's the flaw we see in relation to Miami. Both of these styles originated in places that experienced greater seasonal temperature swings. Rooms were smaller mainly to be easier to heat. When you enlarge those spaces, they tend to appear odd and don't quite make sense as an aesthetic. 

On the other hand, a modern-style residence (often misunderstood as cold) can be made charming, grand, luxurious, mysterious, and in many ways, camouflaged and inspired by lush natural surroundings (we call this design style "Tropical Modernism").

Even though the design style is called "modern," we have found that it is quickly becoming classic in the sense that it's timeless and adaptable to so many lifestyles and tastes.

At MIK Architecture, we believe in something called "Future-Proof" design and for many returning clients, this has become our signature. But what does "future-proof" design mean and why should it matter to you?

From the occupant's side of things, this ideology informs our design work so that a space can evolve over time in a way that matches aspirations. For example, today's nursery might become tomorrow's 2nd-floor utility room. We anticipate these needs at the start and integrate systems that minimize (and sometimes eliminate) future renovation costs. It's a smart way to design and build and ads lasting value to the homeowner.

Practically, we live in a rapidly changing world both technologically and environmentally. Similar to the above, we pre-plan for long-term occupant enjoyment and this means creating spaces that are resilient and adaptable. As a side note, not to be overlooked, this methodology makes a home more valuable over time.

While market value is important to the homeowner, it's of particular interest to the developer. "Future-Proof" design makes the construction process better because timelines are kept and there's no lost cost issues. Pre-planning is the name of the game and creates for a superior process today, tomorrow, and down the road.

Also, these "Future-Proof" designs have lasting community impact, which for the developer, does wonders for long-term brand recognition and reputation.
