Zoetic Architecture & Design: Natural, Organic, and Responsive solutions

How we can help you

Zoetic Architecture & Design

Serving your needs since 2003

Zoetic Architecture & Design, L.L.C. is a  comprehensive and full service design firm practicing organic architecture. Founded in 2003 by a Taliesin architect, Michael Hawker, the firm's experience and training is rooted by the rich philosophies of Frank Lloyd Wright and Gunnar Birkerts, a blend of both American and  European organic traditions.


Unique and specialized.



Why Zoetic Architecture & Design?

Zoetic Architecture & Design, L.L.C. offers unique, sensitive, and integrated solutions  that creatively respond to, and celebrate, the particular needs of the customer and the particular characteristics of the project site. Inspired by Ideas, our designs celebrate "life." Some term it "Natural Architecture" or "Organic Architecture" but we have named it "Zoetic Architecture" or simply "an architecture for life."


Soulful designs with sensibility.


Who and where we serve

We began in St. Louis, Missouri in 2003 and spent 13 years in Salt Lake City, Utah before relocating to southwest Michigan in 2023. We are committed to providing high quality and tailored solutions of enduring value to our customers anywhere in the world and regardless of scale or complexity — from simple renovations to new buildings.


No project too small, no client too far.


Our commitment

Our commitment is to form a partnership  relationship with you, to follow the creative process of discovery, and endeavor together to shape the design of your dream. We commit to you our highest energy and best talent for guiding you through the process of design and construction.


Respect for the client.

never ceases changing its form of life."
               Frank Lloyd Wright

    Our Philosophy and Approach

    Our Goal

    WE STRIVE TO CREATE a work of spiritual vitality and fulfillment, beautiful structures that suit its environment, serves the purposes of life, and raises the spirits of the occupants. By using "poetics", an appropriate  design can respond to the psychological and emotional needs of the  users. In all, a building's natural and unique expression of purpose  and meaning gives it "character."

    Ideas for Living

    Inspired by IDEAS,
    our designs celebrate LIFE.
    Zoetic Architecture, thus, is
    an "Architecture for Life",

    or "Life Architecture."

    Our Mission

    Our mission is to be the global leader in Zoetic architecture and design by offering SUPERIOR SERVICE to our customers, and emphasizing EXCEPTIONAL CRAFT and PERSONAL CARE during all project phases.

    Tailored to you

    Our solutions are tailored to the SPECIFIC needs of the customer, and respond to the PARTICULAR characteristics of the project site.

    Zoetic Architecture...

    ...defies absolute definition because of the underlying intuitive and creative process behind every design solution...it is a voyage of discovery.


    ...is inspired by a  holistic idea. Every form is developed out of its relation to the  whole - thus, part and whole create each other to form an organic unity.


    ...is appropriate when it relates to the nature of and is in scale with human beings. Designs fulfilling real human needs form a truly living architecture and express the spirit of the activity within.

    ...is appropriate to place when it is in ecological and aesthetic harmony with its natural or built              environment. It belongs to the site.


    ...expresses structural and spatial continuity. Structural expression reinforces the character and integrity of the design. Spatial continuity is freedom between indoor and outdoor space, connecting the occupants to the environment.


    ...employs the natural and appropriate use of  "native" materials. This relates the design to its environment (natural or man-made) and serves to give warmth to rooms, human scale to buildings, and definition to space as light and shadows cast patterns across them.


    ...uses available materials clearly and honestly, employs available construction techniques, and marries the past (the place) with the future (the idea). It is  beautiful and honest. 

    True customized design

    "If you are looking for a cookie-cutter solution, call another firm."


    "We DO NOT pull out  plans from a file of previous projects and present it as your 'custom' design. Never."
