Sculpting Earth’s energy into habitable art
Extraordinarily original architecture. Shaped by science. Built to enhance life.
By MX3 Architects, the originators of Enermimetic Architecture.
Why should the art on your walls have a better backstory than the building itself?
The best architecture does more than look good, function well, and follow trends. It has a beautiful reason for existing.
That’s why we developed Enermimetic Architecture, a proprietary scientific process that reads Earth’s energy to reveal the structure that belongs there.
The result? Original artwork you can step into. And a sense of harmony in your space only achieved through our unique method.
ENERMIMETIC ARCHITECTURE
Earth’s energy | Reflected
(en-er-mih-MET-ik)
The process of measuring a site’s electromagnetic energy, then integrating the values of the people who will live or work there, to create architecture that feels good to be in, flows with its surroundings, and inspires awe.
Based in Chicago.

You’re in the right place if you don’t want ordinary.
(Because we don’t do cookie-cutter anything.)
MX3 is a family-run, multi-generational studio of planners, architects, and interior designers. But we see ourselves as mediators between people, places, and the energy that connects them.
We create structures the Earth tells us should exist. We know that sounds “out there.” But this isn’t some artistic experiment. It’s a scientific process nearly 40 years in the making.
We’re passionate. But we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We show up as ourselves, and find ways to laugh throughout the process.
If you enjoy deep discussions (over good coffee), and art with a story, we’ll make a great team.
How does Enermimetic Architecture® work?
Fair warning: it’s not like anything you’ve seen before.
-
Every location on Earth has a unique electromagnetic signature, like its own song playing in a frequency humans can’t hear. Satellites capture that data, and we use it to understand how energy flows through your site.
-
Your site’s energy reveals the proportions, colors, and even musical notes most aligned with its location. We pair that information with your goals to design a one-of-a-kind space that supports how you want to feel every day.
-
The result is more than a beautiful building. It’s the Earth’s energy reflected through physical structure to achieve harmony between humanity and nature. Every detail of your space is grounded in purpose, and designed to enhance your life.
FAQs
-
Enermimetic Architecture is for those who don’t want their space to look or feel like anyone else’s. Our process isn’t based on design styles from the past, current trends, or a random spark of inspiration.
We measure the electromagnetic energy surrounding your site, listen closely to your goals, and design a structure that integrates both. Spaces built this way promote a sense of harmony, as if they were always meant to be there.
-
We get it. This isn’t your typical design conversation. But when we talk about “energy,” we’re not being abstract. The Earth’s electromagnetic field is a measurable force that makes life here possible. It creates the Northern Lights. It’s constantly monitored by NOAA satellites because it affects everything from navigation to solar storms.
Every location on Earth has unique electromagnetic data, like an invisible fingerprint. By designing with this data in mind, we create spaces that act as a bridge between the land and the people inside, helping you feel calmer, more alive, and connected to where you are in space.
-
Absolutely. Your goals and our process guide the project in equal measure. We’re not afraid to take the lead, and may occasionally nudge you outside your comfort zone to achieve something better than expected. But you can trust us to make decisions that support the outcome you’re after.
If that’s the type of collaboration you’re looking for, you’ll find this process both exciting and rewarding.
-
While we prioritize sustainability, our process is rooted in measurable electromagnetic data made available by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States. It’s not about using reclaimed wood or solar panels alone (although we love those too).
Enermimetic Architecture translates your land’s energy into a project plan that feels inherently right for the location.
-
We design for residential, commercial, hospitality, mixed-use projects, and more. We work closely with individuals, developers, other architects, and organizations who want a structure that’s not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful.
-
We’re based in Chicago, but can design for clients around the world.

“You can rely on them beyond permits and design.”
“I chose MX3 because I didn’t want to end up with a cookie-cutter home. They pushed me outside my comfort zone with their vision, and they exceeded my expectations.
The MX3 team is gifted, organized, and very responsive. Plus, they were kind during a stressful time in my life, more so than other architects would’ve been. We had to redesign the back of the house to accommodate my husband’s new wheelchair, and they were ready with solutions on the fly. They’re ‘architects plus’ in that sense. You can rely on them beyond permits and design. They’re there for you through thick or thin. They became more my friends than just third-party architects.
Now I live in a home that’s beautiful, welcoming, and like nothing else. People literally stop and stare. I’d recommend MX3 to anyone who doesn’t want what everyone else has.”
