peth ARCHITECTS
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo da Vinci
Mike Peth has spent over 42 years making rigorously simple architecture that speaks of the fundamentals but is also modest in character. His body of work spans a broad range of projects from private houses, hotels, religious commissions, commercial buildings, and a children's camp that services children from low income households and underserved communities.
No matter the scale, all projects have a consistent set of parameters mass, volume, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light, and ritual. In this way the simplest project can be a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
