MEET THE TEAM
Erik Myers, AIA
FOUNDER / PRESIDENT
emyers@elmarchmiami.com
Personally committed to helping each client achieve their unique aesthetic vision, Erik has nearly three decades of experience using his design talents to realize successful commercial architecture projects in the South Florida market. While maintaining focus on the primacy of good design, Erik quickly learned the critical role scheduling and budget play in meeting the clients’ needs.
Over the years, Erik has accrued the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to strike the delicate balance between the art and business of architecture. “The project’s budget and schedule are a given that must be maintained; however, it is the architect’s mandate to incorporate design and innovation into all projects.”
Erik is a Miami native, happily married for over 20-years, and a proud father of two. Erik enjoys playing guitar and is an avid sports fan celebrating the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat and Florida Gators.
