Mick Richmond has worked as an architect, designer, and educator since 1991. He serves as Principal-in-Charge on all active projects, and oversees all work in the firm from concept to completion. In taking responsibility for carrying forward Brame Heck Architects’ legacy of quality design service, Mr. Richmond strives to provide exemplary service to clients, the design profession, and the communities he serves. 

 

Mr. Richmond has accumulated a wide range of architectural experience; working on new buildings, tenant fit-outs, renovations, and additions on project types ranging from institutional facilities to primary, secondary and higher education, commercial, and residential. Clients on these projects have included universities, municipal/county governments, school districts, business owners, the GSA, and the US State Department. Specialties include Performing Arts Facilities, Higher Ed, and K-12.

In addition, Richmond has taught design studios and environmental technology courses for many years at the University of Florida, and previously a graduate design studio at the University of Oregon. For much of his career, his focus has been on sustainability and the built environment - specifically as it relates to the effects of building design on energy consumption. He has coordinated post occupancy evaluation (POE) studies of existing buildings; gathering information about energy performance, water usage, indoor environmental quality and thermal comfort in order to assist building owners with decisions regarding their buildings, and to carry lessons learned from these exercises forward to future building projects.
