Luis Michal

Hi, my name is Luis Michal (*1992, Regensburg). I work as an architect & author based in Munich and Berlin.

🏠 As founding partner of frommemichal architekten↗︎ (Munich) I develop simple houses for ambitious clients. On the side, I like to think and write about architecture. Occasionally, I do other creative projects like photography, drawing, sports and talking to people.

🧑‍🎓 Having studied, lived and worked in Munich (TU Munich) and Beijing, China (Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing & Beijing Foreign Studies University) and the USA, I deeply care about international exchange and cross-cultural collaborations.

🤝 So if you want to connect or have any inquiry or idea for a collaboration, feel free to contact me via Mail↗, Instagram↗, LinkedIn↗. I am looking forward to!
