Our Philosophy

At MIM Architecture, we believe that architecture should be a backdrop for lifes momentsa quiet framework that holds meaning and memory. Our name, Moments in Materials, reflects this ethos: that beautiful design emerges from revealing the inherent beauty of materials and the unfolding of everyday life within a space.

Whether designing a home, cabin, or retreat, our process centers on listening carefully to both our clients and the surrounding site. We value warmth and meaning and believe that the best architecture holds space for life to unfold in all its subtlety and complexity.

Our Team

MIM Architecture is led by Charlotte Mone, with over a decade of experience in high-end custom residential and boutique hospitality design. Her work is rooted in a love for raw materials, contextual storytelling, and close client collaboration.

Charlottes design sensibility was shaped by her time at Olson Kundig in Seattle, where she spent four years developing a language of material honesty, thoughtful detailing, and strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

She holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Cape Town in South Africa, where she was born and raised. After six years in Seattle, she relocated to Vermont with her husband (a native Vermonter) and their two young children, drawn by the regions natural beauty and a slower pace of life.

She is currently pursuing architectural licensure in the state of Vermont and is available for work across the Northeast.
