Sculpting Earthâs 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.
Thatâs why we developed Enermimetic Architecture, a proprietary scientific process that reads Earthâs 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
Earthâs energy | Reflected
(en-er-mih-MET-ik)
The process of measuring a siteâs 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.
Designing worldwide.

Youâre in the right place if you donât want ordinary.
(Because we donât 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 âout there.â But this isnât some artistic experiment. Itâs a scientific process nearly 40 years in the making.
Weâre passionate. But we donât 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, weâll make a great team.
How does Enermimetic ArchitectureÂŽ work?
Fair warning: itâs not like anything youâve seen before.
-
Every location on Earth has a unique electromagnetic signature, like its own song playing in a frequency humans canât hear. Satellites capture that data, and we use it to understand how energy flows through your site.
-
Your siteâs 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. Itâs the Earthâs 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 donât want their space to look or feel like anyone elseâs. Our process isnât 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 isnât your typical design conversation. But when we talk about âenergy,â weâre not being abstract. The Earthâs electromagnetic field is a measurable force that makes life here possible. It creates the Northern Lights. Itâs 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. Weâre 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 youâre after.
If thatâs the type of collaboration youâre looking for, youâll 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. Itâs not about using reclaimed wood or solar panels alone (although we love those too).
Enermimetic Architecture translates your landâs 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 thatâs not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful.

Weâre based in Chicago, but can design for clients around the world.

âYou can rely on them beyond permits and design.â
âI chose MX3 because I didnât 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 wouldâve been. We had to redesign the back of the house to accommodate my husbandâs new wheelchair, and they were ready with solutions on the fly. Theyâre âarchitects plusâ in that sense. You can rely on them beyond permits and design. Theyâre there for you through thick or thin. They became more my friends than just third-party architects.
Now I live in a home thatâs beautiful, welcoming, and like nothing else. People literally stop and stare. Iâd recommend MX3 to anyone who doesnât want what everyone else has.â
