ABOUT
Founded in 2006, Milander is a boutique
architecture firm specializing in resorts,
residential, and retail or commercial projects.
We believe that hotels should feel like a home
away from home, and homes should have the
understated luxury found in the best hotels.
We are licensed and have completed projects in
four states - Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada.
of CRAFTSMANSHIP with INTEGRITY
and RIGOROUS SIMPLICITY
OUR ETHOS
SIMPLICITY
From our approach to forms and materials, to the way in which we interact with our clients or manage our projects, rigorous, and courageous simplicity underpins everything that we do and strive to build.
INTEGRITY
In structure, in process, and in execution - we place great emphasis on intentionality in considering the impressions we will leave not only on each other, but on our planet.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
In an age so defined by technological advancement, we pride ourselves on holding on to the time honored tradition and irreplaceable value of true craftsmanship, not only in the literal or obvious sense of how we design and build, but in a much broader regard of the art of living as a craft in itself.
FIFTEEN YEARS & COUNTING
As we enter our fifteenth year of business and slowly re-enter the world post pandemic, we wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate, to rediscover and recommit to our values and what we believe in, and begin intentionally charting the way to at least another fifteen ahead.
Challenging as this past year has undoubtedly been, the enforced stay-at-home orders have truly given us a brand new perspective on the spaces we inhabit, and just how integral they are to both our personal and collective well-being. We look forward to implementing these invaluable lessons as we continue to strive towards the architecture of meaningful living.
We our pleased to launch our new name, identity, and website – the result of a long, and fruitful collaboration with the talented branding studio The Letterist, and only the beginning of the exciting future that lies ahead.
OUR TEAM
Diverse and exceptionally talented, we are proud of our predominantly female team, made up of experienced architects and project managers who go the extra mile to see our projects through with great efficiency and enthusiasm. If you would like to join our team, please email [email protected].

a person who looks and listens will feel
its good effects without noticing.”
