Always  Human,  Holistic  &  High-LevelElevating  life  to  a  Different  LevelBuilt upon  Partnerships  &  Collaboration

H-Level Architecture is a boutique, design-driven studio based in Southwest Florida, focused on modern, sustainable, and wellness-centered environments. Founded in 2010, we have worked on 200+ projects and have blended architecture, interior design, and responsible building practices for 15 years to create spaces that elevate the human experience.

Built  on  Partnership

H-Level Architecture is a small, closely held practice led by a husband-and-wife team. We work closely with our clients, listening carefully and designing collaboratively. Each project grows from shared trust, curiosity, and a belief that the best architecture is shaped together.

Guided  by  Nature

Our work begins with place. Light, climate, landscape, and material inform every decision we make. By balancing nature with design, we create architecture that feels grounded and sustainable — spaces that belong to their environment and quietly enhance it.

A  Meeting  of  Cultures

Two worlds shape our design language. Michaela’s Italian roots bring a sensitivity to craft, while Brandt’s American modernist upbringing lends clarity. Together, these influences create architecture that is warm, refined, and contemporary.

Architecture  to  Elevate  Life

At its core, our work is about care and joy. We design spaces that invite people in, support daily life, and leave room for quiet moments. Architecture, for us, is not just about form — but about elevating life to a different level.

Human


H-Level approaches each project with an individualized design methodology that requires the firm to listen — not only to their clients, but also to the voices of the elements around a particular site creating in every project both a reflection and an extension of its environment. We believe that architecture and spaces impact us and should be designed to leave a lasting impression.

Client  Testimonials

  • Michael  Silverstein

    Michael  Silverstein,  Homeowner

    After 30 years my home needed a makeover. I had some ideas, H-Level listened to what I needed and turned a dated, dark condo into a beautiful home with open space, large closets, more light and charm. My dream and H-Level’s talent created a beautiful home.

  • Jack  Donlan

    Jack  Donlan,  Homeowner

    After years of living in the same space, I was ready for a change. H-Level took my outdated townhouse and transformed it into a warm, modern home filled with natural light and thoughtful details. They understood my vision and elevated it beyond what I imagined — every corner now feels intentional and inviting.

    When I decided to renovate, I wanted a home that reflected my lifestyle and personality.

  • Nick  Stewart

    Nick  Stewart,  Homeowner

    H-Level designed an addition for my home. I work with a lot of architects and H-Level is easily in the top 5% of any I work with anywhere in the country. Brandt and his team are extremely talented and professional. The residential designs are always unique, and they have a way of making modern architecture feel warm and inviting as opposed to a cold commercial space.

Holistic


Like the word ‘Level’ that can be read front and back depending on how you look at the word, so is our attitude to architecture. It is not one-directional or linear. Our approach to architecture is holistic. We do not distinguish between architecture, landscape design, interior design and sustainability when we work on a project. The different design levels intersect and become one and will be looked at as a whole.

    Environmentally conscious architecture in Florida is relative to its environment, its economy and the ability to maintain a healthy interior environment.

Plans that integrate sustainability principles reduce costs and risk, raise productivity, produce innovative outcomes and enhance the client’s social responsibility and create healthier environments.
