Michael “McQ” McHugh
Design Studio Lead
Michael is a skilled designer with nearly 30 years of experience, who brings a wide range of design and hands-on building experience to each project. He is responsive to site and context issues while balancing both the client’s and end users’ needs. His ability to listen carefully to the wide-ranging input from stakeholders makes significant, positive impacts on his projects. His input in early project stages brings creative responses to feasibility studies, concept design, and site development. Michael’s recent design work includes the first mass timber mixed-use project in Ketchum, Idaho, the Idaho Outdoor Field House (Housing/HBOT), Nampa Fire Station #6, and the Vet Tech building at CSI.
Michael is a transplant from the East coast through way of a 20 year stint in Portland, Oregon. He has been in Boise since 2016 and has settled into the slower pace of life and enjoys fun outdoor activities just a stone’s throw from town. When not biking or skiing, you will find him and his wife Celina, heading out on road trips to find paths less traveled in their recently self-built adventure van.
