Commercial Collaboration
While Salida Plan Studio primarily focuses on custom residential and multifamily design, Michael also collaborates on selected commercial projects with Points West Design Works. When a project requires licensed architectural services, commercial work may be coordinated through their architecture practice, allowing clients to benefit from an integrated team with experience in design development, construction documentation, consultant coordination, and construction-phase support.
