Who We Are

Cedar + Steel is a full service residential architectural design firm in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our aim is to present strong design and personalize every project. We’re dedicated to providing homeowners with unique designs that are value engineered and built to last.

For us, no project is too small, complicated, or straightforward – with each project, we invest our time and talents as if they are our own. Our method of designing incorporates all facets of the construction process, taking each step into consideration along the way.

Meet Milan

Cedar + Steel owner Milan Muhlestein calls both the Mountain West and his notebook home. Motivated by architectural work since boyhood, Milan combines function, form, and nature into his work as an architectural designer. With a diverse background in structural engineering and construction, he brings a unique and practical eye to layout and structure when it comes to building a home. When he’s not working on a project, Milan can be found traversing the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains – finding peace and inspiration for his next design.
