Mark Johnson

Designer Profile

Mark Johnson, principal of Mark Johnson and Associates, received his Bachelor of Architecture from Rice University. As an apprentice under Robert A.M. Stern Architects in New York, Mark developed a strong appreciation and skill for one-of-a-kind residential architecture detailing, with equal emphasis on exterior as well as interior architecture.

In 1995, Mark formed a residential and commercial design firm integrating architecture and interior design in suburban Detroit. He leads a team of architects and designers praised for their variety of style, rigorously detailed documentation, and high level of customer service. 

Residential projects combine old world craftsmanship with a comprehensive attention to modern conveniences; they range in style from a conversion of an urban industrial building into an open-plan, courtyard home to display a large modern art and artifacts collection, to an English Cotswold-style estate set in a seven acre garden. The firm’s portfolio of residential work includes projects throughout Michigan, Illinois, New York and Florida. Commercial projects focus primarily on interior architecture and furnishings with the recent completion of the bar and restaurants for a boutique hotel as well as executive suites for two Fortune 100 Companies.
