Micah / Architecture is the work space of me, Micah Rickards.
I focus on small-space architecture.
With hands-on experience from my own self-build project, Walker Box, I understand the pressures and decisions clients face along the way. This grounded perspective informs how I design, communicate and work alongside builders and consultants throughout a project.
Smaller projects require extra attention to detail. I create thoughtful, well-crafted spaces that respond carefully to their context and to the people who live in them.
This approach is best reflected in the experience of clients:
“Our beautiful new home is a testimony to Micah’s creativity, his understanding of our needs and his ability to work seamlessly with the building team”
