Principal

Michael Freliech joined Altieri in 1997. As a Principal since 2007, he heads one of Altieri’s five design studios. Mike’s exceptional leadership drives Altieri’s renown for successfully meeting design challenges with innovative integration and control of advanced MEP systems. The overall project direction he provides ensures that Altieri’s designs prioritize the quality, character, and integrity of the architecture and maintain the architect’s vision as our paramount intention. In addition to the award-winning Corning Museum of Glass, Contemporary Art + Design Wing and Amphitheater Hot Shop project, recipient of the 2020 Architectural Engineering Institute Most Innovative Project Under $100M award, Mike’s significant portfolio is highlighted by the two-phase, 10-year renovation of Yale University Art Gallery, including the historic Louis Kahn Building, which resulted in the successful implementation of envelope improvements and the introduction of highly controlled museum environments within the galleries. His emphasis on sustainable solutions supports client goals, notably the Cornell Law School’s Academic Center project, one of Cornell’s first projects to achieve LEED Platinum.
