Mark A. Miller Architects/Builders Inc.

When we hired Mark Miller to update our kitchen and we were so pleased with his beautiful designs we hired him to make us a bedroom suite. That was at least fifteen years ago and I would work with him to design a house for us if the opportunity arose and he would be the first person I called if we did any other renovations or expansions.

Mark Miller is a great professional and a great human being. His ability to listen and to connect with people informs his excellent design sense, allowing each project to fit its owners' personality and needs. His training as a Certified Passive House Consultant and Passive Certified Builder make him a one-of-a-kind expert in the Chicago area, able to not only design the most energy-efficient buildings, but also to build them.

I hired Mark Miller to design my new physical therapy office- with a three month deadline and a modest budget. Mark was able to not only design the space to meet all of our practical needs, but he created a beautiful, peaceful, healing space that far exceeded my expectations. Mark was also able to creatively deal with challenges that came up while working with the builders and the landlord. He was a big help with sourcing materials. I couldn't be happier with my new office and I highly recommend Mark A. Miller Architects.

I hired Mark Miller to renovate my 10,000 square office building. He carved out 3,000 square feet for my office area, and left the rest raw to meet my warehousing needs. Mark and I had many discussions about what I envisioned for my business in this new space. Mark transformed my vision into a working area that promotes innovation, communication, creativity, team work, and drive. The beauty that Mark created has improved my company morale, which has helped improve my sales and profitability. I would not hesitate to work with Mark again in the future. I am grateful to him every time I go to work.

I love my house, and I thank Mark Miller. We purchased a victorian, two-flat building with the plan to convert it to a single family dwelling. We didn't quite know what we were in for, which is probably a good thing. However, having Mark on our side as our primary architect made the process fun, exciting, and manageable when the going got tough. Mark's ability to listen to our needs and vision while creating plans we could have never conjured up on our own was priceless. His ideas were original and smart, and worked beautifully during the construction process. Mark is a pleasure to work with. His integrity is always at the forefront of his interactions. I trusted him throughout our entire project. I look forward to moving on to other projects for our home and calling on Mark for his ingenuity and creativity.

Mark Miller is a uniquely talented individual. Not only is he an excellent and capable architect, he is incredibly easy to work with. Transforming our 120 year-old, one-story house into a two-story was no small project, but Mark handled the entire event with professionalism and care. His simple and elegant design worked within the parameters of our tight budget, and magically matched the character of our Victorian ground floor while also bringing in a modern sensibility. The effect is so seamless that visitors don't believe us when we tell them the upstairs didn't exist when we bought the house. Mark found us an amazing general contractor (as well as an artisan carpenter to build the staircase), but he remained very involved and available throughout construction. The stress that comes with tearing your beloved house apart cannot be overstated, never mind the unexpected obstacles that inevitably come up in an old house under construction. Without Mark's deep well of calm and his practical problem-solving solutions for each stage of the project, my husband and I would still be in therapy. All kidding aside, he is an architect of great skill and a wonderful person. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
