Todd Mackinson Design Architect
Todd Mackinson is an architect with a diverse background in many building types. He has helped design high rise towers in Saudi Arabia and New York City, as well as sports and recreation facilities throughout the Midwest. However, Todd’s true passion lies in working with small businesses, homeowners, non-profits, and public clients. His most recent projects reflect that passion and include work with Chicago Public Schools, small developers, and local park districts.
Todd Mackinson Design was formed to manage the many small projects Todd was working on for friends and neighbors. The firm quickly grew and took on full home renovation projects and new single-family homes. Todd is personally and intimately involved in all projects and is particularly adept with projects that require sensitive attention to detail, whether that is adapting new construction to a historic neighborhood or carefully planning for a renovation of an occupied home.
