Michael Ingui

Michael is a Partner with Ben Baxt at Baxt Ingui Architects – a highly collaborative, design-driven firm with extensive experience in residential, institutional, and commercial projects. He joined the firm in 1994 and was named Partner in 2000. Since then, the firm has become a leader in the US Passive House movement.

Michael firmly believes that creative and successful collaboration starts with forming a close relationship with each member of the team early and being inclusive to completion. In his practice, he takes care to respect the unique individual qualities of each client and home to create distinctive, personal projects. Outside the office, Michael is a painter. He allows his artistic process to inform his designs, blending art and architecture to create one-of-a-kind spaces.

He is also active in the Passive House community, and frequently shares knowledge gained through his work at conferences throughout the world. In 2019, Michael founded the Passive House Accelerator as an engine to increase awareness of Passive House and support the community of Passive House builders. In 2022, he cofounded Source 2050, a groundbreaking marketplace designed to bring high performance building components to all builders simply and effectively.
