MICHAEL SALUS AIA, LEED AP, NCIDQWith a Masters of Architecture from the University of Miami combined with a Bachelor Degree from the University of Florida for Interior Design, Michael Salus has aligned an extensive educational background with more than thirteen years of professional experience in South Florida. His determination for continual growth in the field of design and construction has never wavered, allowing for a refined understanding of what is expected of a design professional and furthermore the necessary steps to exceed it. First becoming a Licensed Interior Designer in the state of Florida in 2006, he then received his LEED Accreditation in 2008 and followed with a graduate degree and state license to practice architecture, gaining a distinct yet crucial perspective of the industry with each step. By previously being a part of a large firm for such a long duration of time, Michael is the beneficiary of strong mentorship from the local design community and found himself in the fortunate scenario of not only staying in the forefront of the most current computer technologies impacting the industry, but all the while designing solutions for a vast array of projects. Ranging in size and scope from new construction city centers in excess of 90,000 square feet for the public sector to interior renovations of an individual client's home or office, there are few building types to which he is unfamiliar. Irrelevant to the specifics of any one job, his hunger for a more sustainable future acts as the basis for sound decision making when dealing with all topics relating to our sensitive ecosystem. Whether serving as the LEED Team Administrator for numerous projects in Broward County or simply applying green fundamentals to each phase of a project, these principals have become second nature. Regardless of the project's scale his approach and attention to detail has always remained consistent.
