MichaelMcGroarty AIA, LEED AP
Principal
Michael joined Kuth Ranieri in 2013 as a senior project architect. He is a registered architect in Massachusetts and California and a LEED Accredited Professional since 2004. His previous work experience includes a diverse array of project types including residential, wildlife and animal care, mixed-use affordable housing, large-scale educational and university, office, retail, and cultural projects. Michael received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Penn State University and Master’s degree from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard. He has practiced in Boston and San Francisco since 1997 and has taught architecture courses at the Boston Architectural College and for Oxbridge Academic Programs in Paris.
He brings a broad set of professional skills, including program management of complex, multiphase building prototype and tenant improvement programs, architectural project management, and the formation and implementation of multidiscipline CAD/BIM standards. His academic interests stem from the potentialities of semi-autonomous systems; coordinated transportation infrastructures and microgrid, prefab, zero-energy structures along with the economic incentives or realignments that could make space for them.
When not in the office, he can probably be found hiking, biking, or skiing in the mountains, swimming, kayaking or kiteboarding in the bay, or running along the waterfront.

Project Architect
Ever since a charismatic teacher opened Greg Morse’s eyes to the life-shaping power of architecture, he has empowered others to wield architecture for a better world.
He earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design as class valedictorian from the University of Colorado and, while earning his Master of Architecture from the University of Illinois, he researched strategies for architects to better educate the public.
He has worked with a variety of architecture firms and non-profit design collaboratives across a broad spectrum of project types (Single- and Multi-Family residential, fire stations, schools, historic, and commercial) and levels of sustainability (LEED, Passive House, Living Building Challenge). His design research and education experience has helped curate and create museum exhibitions and conferences devoted to sharing the latest findings in evidence-based design.
After moving to San Francisco in 2021, he has become obsessed with bike racing and exploring natural areas all around the Bay Area.
