Principal Architect and Founder, Taylor Palumbo is an architect originally from Northern Michigan, where growing up close to the outdoors shaped her appreciation for landscape, light, material, and the relationship between buildings and their surroundings. Time spent living in the Pacific Northwest, along with her experience in the Midwest, has given her a broad perspective on how a sense of place can influence the way a space is designed and experienced. She holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Michigan and brings experience across residential, multifamily, commercial, hospitality, and community-focused projects. Taylor approaches each project with curiosity and practicality, focusing on understanding the people, place, and purpose behind the work to create spaces that are thoughtful, functional, and distinctly their own.

Visible Architecture was established to bring a clear, client-driven approach to architecture. Drawing on professional experience across a range of project types, the studio is focused on thoughtful design, technical rigor, and making the architectural process accessible and transparent.

Before committing to a project, it helps to understand what’s possible. We evaluate sites and properties through zoning, program, density, and budget, using feasibility studies and test fits to explore potential and identify constraints before major investments.

We provide full-service architectural design across senior living, student housing, multi-family,and single-family residential projects. From small-scale renovations and interior improvements to complex, ground-up developments, we bring thoughtful design, technical expertise, and a practical understanding of budgets to every project.

Every project comes with its own set of rules and opportunities. We research zoning, building codes, accessibility requirements, and approval processes to identify constraints early and provide clear direction as the design develops.

We design commercial spaces that balance your vision, operational needs, and the realities of the approval process. From initial concepts through construction, we navigate zoning, accessibility, and code requirements while creating spaces that work for your business and the people who use them.

As a full-service design studio, we carry projects from initial concepts through detailed design and construction documentation, translating ideas into clear drawings and coordinated details. Our goal is to make the design understandable to you, contractors, consultants, and approval agencies.

Interior design is where architecture becomes tangible. From finishes and fixtures to lighting and custom details, we coordinate the elements that make a space feel cohesive and intentional. 3D renderings and material selections help you understand decisions before they become permanent.
