Mike Shaughnessy, SFS founding principal, approaches the planning and design of each project as a blank slate, without preconceived solutions. His commitment to quality and talent for recognizing and responding to the unique aspects of each situation has allowed him to design facilities that truly respond to user needs and provide an ongoing, positive experience. His projects have received numerous AIA design excellence awards; Mike’s own favorites are those structures that are “enjoyable spaces to be in again and again…even after returning many times over.” Man cannot live solely on professional achievement, however: Mike also enjoys golf, coffee, and his uncanny ability to locate food in the office before Kerry Newman absconds with it.
