2025 Up & Coming Talent (Under 40) Winner: Michael Pritchard
Nominator Kevin ten Brinke, AIA, NCARB, LEED, AP of Bonin Architects said:
Mike is an integral member of our team, where his vision has shaped our collaborative culture and design processes. As our studio BIM manager, he leads staff training in cutting-edge modeling and rendering techniques. Mike excels as a mentor, fostering knowledge-sharing and creative growth. His curiosity drives his work — constantly asking how things can be done better, faster and with new technology. Mike’s acumen for technology is a direct reflection of his passion for this industry and trying new things. The autonomy given to him to explore new methods, software and technologies has reaped tremendous benefits to our firm, something he wrote about in this winter’s issue of AIANH Forum.
Mike’s work has allowed us to create exceptional photo-realistic renderings through implementation of several different programs, most recently Twinmotion.
Mike wanted to learn about drones. He’s now an FAA-licensed drone pilot, and we’re using cutting-edge drone photogrammetry and aerial photography to build site and existing conditions models. Mike wanted to explore 3D and augmented reality; we were having fun taking virtual tours of homes we designed with VR headsets. Our firm uses all these progressive tools because of Mike’s ambition and curiosity.
In addition to his work at Bonin Architects, Mike is behind bypritchard.com, where he merges AI and residential design to create cutting-edge renderings. His commitment to mentoring extends beyond the workplace, and he actively contributes to his community through coaching youth sports. Currently pursuing an MBA, Mike continues to expand his business acumen, positioning himself as a forward-thinking leader in residential design. His dedication to learning and innovation makes him a rising star in our field.
