Michael Freliech’s exceptional leadership drives Altieri’s renown for successfully meeting design challenges with innovative integration and control of advanced MEP systems.
Mike joined Altieri in 1997. As a Principal since 2007, he heads one of Altieri’s six design studios and leads our Boston office. The overall project direction Mike provides ensures that Altieri’s designs prioritize the character and integrity of the architecture and maintain the client’s vision as our paramount intention. Mike’s significant portfolio is highlighted by complex often multi-phase programs for historic buildings such as the 750,000 sf National Museum of American History, highly controlled museum environments including numerous projects at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, new multi-faceted programs highlighted by the recently completed Prior Performing Arts Center at College of the Holy Cross, and distinguished private residences requiring seamless integration of systems and highly controlled environments. His emphasis on sustainable solutions supports client goals notably North Carolina Museum of Art, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, and Cornell Law School’s Academic Center and Commons, one of Cornell’s first projects to achieve LEED Platinum.
