The Mills Group team is a unique blend of like-minded professionals who bring their very best on a daily basis and are not satisfied with the status quo. It is our belief that a successful engagement is a collaborative and team focused journey of discovery. We hope to have the opportunity to show you what the Mills Group team can do for you.
Mills Group was founded in 2005 by Michael Mills and since that time we have maintained a clear focus on the design of new structures which encompass the rich architectural character of the past. We execute site plans that account for the opportunities and constraints of every project and develop sensitive preservation plans for historic buildings. We are diligent in understanding our client’s spatial needs, design goals, and budget.
Our firm is committed to a quality end product which is derived from experience, diligence, and collaboration. We look forward to bringing our talents to support you on your next project.
Our Approach
Our design approach is built on the foundation of research, data collection, client collaboration, and creative solutions. Many states, including West Virginia, abound with undiscovered architectural treasures. A goal of our practice is to embrace the architectural heritage of the region and to celebrate the best of our past.
It’s a Collaborative Process of Discovery:
Investigate – The first step for every project is a complete needs analysis. This enables us to walk in our clients shoes to gain a practical understanding of the project needs. We believe that this process creates a scenario whereby the Mills Group becomes the “trusted advisor” for the engagement.
Ideate – Once the needs for the project have been clearly defined, we go to work. Our experienced and talented team sets out on a collaborative process to create a functional and creative solution that ensures our clients complete satisfaction. We believe that creative ideas are what bind practical needs with stunning solutions.
Implement – We don’t just think of creative solutions, we see them through to completion. Our designs are rendered to contractor specifications which ensure that the results are what everyone envisioned. The final product is the culmination of countless hours, passionate research, collaborative planning, creative problem solving, and unparalleled attention to detail.
