Milhaus Architecture

Milhaus Architecture is a one-person architecture practice in Medford run by Peter Miller. He says he spent from 1987 leading design teams at Boston-area firms — houses, assisted-living communities, laboratories, offices and museum work — before setting up on his own in 2019 to concentrate on small residential and commercial projects. What exists by way of outside feedback is a short run of neighbours talking about him in a Medford forum in July 2026. One had used him for the architectural planning on converting an unfinished third-floor attic into living space, with a separate builder doing the construction, and called it an awesome experience. Another replied that Peter was great to work with and that they had hired him twice. A third knew him only by reputation. That is three voices in one conversation, all favourable, and no reviews on any platform — a thin base, which is why the rating here is provisional rather than earned. One thing worth resolving before you call. In that same July 2026 thread, the commenter who had hired him twice added that he thought Peter might be retired, and suggested emailing rather than phoning. Nothing on the practice's own site says so, and the site is live with a phone number and address, but a repeat client raising it is worth taking seriously — confirm he is taking work before building a schedule around him. His published portfolio is small-scale and local: a carriage house, residences in Lexington, Concord and on Moon Hill, an office fit-out and a kitchen. If you are planning an addition or an attic conversion in Medford or the towns just west of it and want a single architect running the design rather than a firm, that is the shape of practice this is. Ask about availability first, then about how he works alongside your builder, since the one detailed account here describes exactly that split.
