About this conversation

From Vice to Nice: Running an Architecture Practice in Miami

Running an architecture practice in Miami means working with climate, construction, real estate, office culture and a market that does not behave exactly like London.

Stephen Drew speaks with Matias Daroch of MIK Architecture about building a practice in Miami, working across design and construction, hiring, office culture and using technology without losing the human side of practice.

The conversation covers:

What makes architecture practice in Miami different

How design, construction and real estate overlap in local projects

What Matias has learned about hiring and growing a team

    Hello, everyone. Strap on in. Maybe you're in the UK. It's raining. Maybe, have you thought about flying a few hours overseas? That's right, transatlantic, lots of cool stuff happening. No more Will Smith in the location I'm on about. This is somewhere really cool. Get your mustaches and neon lights going, because we're going to Miami.

  2. Ah, damn, I give it away before the catch up. 10 seconds.
