Ranney Michaels
Architects, LLC was created with the merger of principals Sharon Ranney
and Eric Michaels. Combined, they share over forty-five years of outstanding
work in the field of architecture, design and construction. After successfully
and seamlessly collaborating on projects since 1998, Ranney Michaels
Architects, LLC was formed in 2003. Our clients have benefited ever
since.
Ranney Michaels Architects
has established itself as a high-end design firm. To ensure our projects
are executed as carefully as our designs warrant, we offer complete
building services. We are an Architect led Design/Build company. We
offer an integrated "Master Builder" approach to design and building.
We work in parallel with architecture, engineering and construction.
This method allows the key players to work together and provide a cohesive
team to implement our projects.
The Greek root of
the word Architect is architekton, meaning Master Builder. Historically
the Master Builder understood the architectural design, structural engineering
and construction methods and materials necessary to construct a building.
The modern architect/builder
relationship may be adversarial and produce a fragmentation in the construction
process causing miscommunications. This miscommunication often results
in higher pricing, costly change orders and inferior quality in construction
methods and techniques.
We pride ourselves
as principles of the firm as being involved with every aspect of a project
to ensure its success according to your terms. What makes Ranney Michaels
stand apart, is that we are intimately involved with every detail from
start to finish. This method allows our projects to be consistent and
cohesive from conception through completion of the minutest of details,
ensuring our clients' delight with the final project.
For those who wish
to have their own contractor, Ranney Michaels is pleased to act as the
Architect in the traditional Design, Bid and Build scenario. Being so
intimately involved with our own construction projects, we understand
the building process and thus are able to produce designs and documents
that not only produce beautiful buildings, but are also comprehensive
and builder friendly.
The Ranney Michaels
partnership creates a dynamic team whose creative and elegant designs
include residential projects from high-end custom homes and Manhattan
apartments to historic renovations. Commercial work includes retail
stores, medical facilities, automotive dealerships and television editing
& postproductions facilities. We provide comprehensive architecture,
interior design and design/build services.
"When our clients
hire us, they hire a team" says Ranney. "We view each project from both
an architectural and a decorating perspective. Our designs fuse modern
glamour with functional simplicity to create a classic elegance. By
providing comprehensive design/build services, we ensure that the initial
vision remains consistent throughout all aspects of the project. We
pride ourselves in bringing each client's vision to life and exceeding
their every expectation."
Ranney Michaels holds
architectural licenses in Connecticut and New York and are members of
The Connecticut Society of Architects and the American Institute of Architects.
In addition we are certified by the National Council of Architectural
Registration Boards and the National Society for Historic Trust, we are
licensed Interior Designers and Construction Contractors by the State
