About Palaniuk Builds

Mikep
My name is Michael Palaniuk and I am the driving force behind Palaniuk Builds. A small construction and building company, located in beautiful Mill Valley, California. Coming from a contractor/artist background, I build and remodel living spaces for my clients, according to their needs and the styles that comfort them. I’ve created spaces that my clients can enjoy and be inspired by for a lifetime. After traveling the world and living in Europe for eight years, NYC for three years, I eventually settled in Southern California. It was my experiences living in other cultures and seeing the many building techniques, that nourished my desire to start building again and I started my own construction company. Having over 25 years of experience, that originated in Venice Beach, California, I then relocated back to the Bay Area, where I grew up. I chose to go back to my roots near Los Gatos, California, a small town nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where my first experience of contracting originated.

I build both contemporary and eclectic living spaces. My building is not defined by one building style and I absolutely love to work with my clients to create a space that they can feel comfortable in and be inspired by a style of their own. The contemporary spaces that I build are clean, open and simple spaces, where the clients choose the materials and style they are trying to achieve and I work with them on a design, that makes everything work together in a beautiful and tranquil way. I like to collaborate and be creative with the clients, to add special elements to their spaces, that make them unique and functional for them.

The eclectic spaces I build are usually all handmade materials, that I make myself. From my own array of handmade tiles, to custom lighting, concrete countertops, furniture and cabinetry. Everything is built from
scratch and the lines and tones are very organic and creative. The decor flows to produce a one of a kind and unique living space, that the clients consider only theirs. The most gratifying part of my eclectic remodels, is when my clients feel like the space was created just for them and it’s
an original work of art.

My artwork is my passion. I create art pieces and furniture from unused tiles and wood that I have after a remodel is complete. It is the inspiration and techniques that I get from building, that then flows over into my artwork. Then while creating my artwork and furniture, I get ideas on how to incorporate everything back into my building. My artwork and building are intertwined in creativity and I couldn’t do one
without the other. Lastly, every project, piece or space is unique. One of a kind. In a world of “Mass Production”, it is the individuality and personality of style and space that sets us apart. That’s what I live to build. Unique spaces with original style.
