WE DESIGN COMMUNITIES and CREATE CULTURE.
MIIM Designs is a multi-disciplinary design studio. Our design projects range in scale: urban to landscape, architecture to interiors, furniture to products, adults to children and Anthropocene to living micro-organisms. We move beyond the projected and towards the possible. As designers, researchers, thinkers and agents of change, MIIM designs believes that architecture and design, presents opportunities for transformation: (1) design as a social practice to improve our daily lives, (2) buildings and spaces to meet the diverse needs of the community they serve, (3) and to create immersive and participatory environments. We see design as an opportunity for cultural dialogue. For each project we draw from the influences of local culture, climate and histories for a deeper community engagement to integrate users and stakeholders in our process and to create an "identity" and a "place" for future communities and the future culture.
MIIM Designs specializes in special projects. We use creative and innovative ways to be agents of change to shape the built environment. By applying modern technology to redevelop and modify the local traditional methods, each of our projects asks how design fits within contemporary culture, how can we produce a sense of place, how will our design affect behavioral and social norms and how can we create environmental awareness through environmental condition beyond sustainable norms, larger cultural trends, material properties and fabrication processes. Essentially, we are designing the future communities and creating the future culture on the foundations of layered cultural narratives and history, through community engagement with stakeholders, historical research and material testing.
MIIM Designs has been recognized nationally and internationally with numerous awards, publications and exhibitions for quality and excellence in design. MIIM Designs LLC has been awarded the "Faith and Form Award" from The American Institute of Architects; the “Excellence in Design” from The International Museum of Women in San Francisco, two-time recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Award, the Doris Duke Foundation Award, National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Library and Museums Award. Currently, MIIM Designs is working on project in California, New York, Spain, Accra - Ghana, and New Delhi-India.
