President and architect Mike Sparks began his career reviewing development plans for the City, working to support communities through large-scale planning and oversight.
 
In 1990, he stepped away from municipal work to establish his own firm, Sparks Architects Incorporated. Since then, he has completed a wide range of projects across the residential sector, as well as distribution centers, corporate headquarters, and more.

Today, the firm's focus has narrowed to what Mike loves most: building and renovating homes into families' dream residences. With his wide range of experience, he's cultivated a diverse portfolio of work, showcasing his ability to bring thoughtful, tailored design solutions to every project he takes on.

He has also welcomed Interior Designer, Ana Stevanovic, and Architectural Intern, Lily Jurasek, onto his team of design professionals. Together they reflect the evolving face of Sparks Architects Incorporated, pairing seasoned expertise with fresh perspective and new energy.  ​

TESTIMONIALS
FROM OUR CLIENTS

“Transforming homes is just one of Sparks Architect's talents, but it's what we've needed from them on four separate houses.  In luxury residential work, excellence is found in the details.  And the Sparks team has the ability to synthesize both the owner's vision, the property's presence, and their own ideas to deliver a sophisticated design where the details always work when built.  Over the decades, they have unwaveringly been flexible, responsive and creative. Whatever your project, their work will elevate it. "
