En Masse Architecture and Design

Our architecture — and our firm — are uniquely welcoming. Our designs take shape around real life, and deliver both refined function and undeniable style. From the collaborative way we create, to the inspiration we find in the world at large, the name says it all: Let's design En Masse.

Our work spans heirloom-quality residences, design-forward commercial and hospitality spaces, and curated interiors. Translating our clients’ vision into inspired surroundings — from the inside out and from form to finishes — we create spaces that are tailored, expressive, and built to last. Our award-winning work brings warmth and thoughtful design to modern new construction and a fresh perspective to historic renovations.

We’re an eclectic group of architects and designers who are serious about fun because we love what we do. Collaboration with our clients, designers, contractor teams, artists, and craftsmen bring our designs to life. By building an ethos around each project and amplifying the strength of every individual, we navigate the complexities of design and construction. With clarity and confidence, En Masse celebrates the joy of creating great work together.

Partners Mike Shively and Lucas Goldbach lead our design studios in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Tucked into a row of vintage greystones, our Logan Square studio is in ongoing conversation with its historic neighborhood and the creative community that surrounds it. We organize public events, spotlight local organizations, and take an active role in civic and professional design circles. Design is rooted in place, and we’re proud to contribute to the community that shape us.
