Since becoming a registered architect in 1981 Mr. Ray has been designing a broad spectrum of projects ranging from Advanced Technology Industrial Fabrication Plants in the United States and Mexico, to High-End commercial office buildings, to all aspects of hospital & medical installations, single family custom residential and medical & office tenant improvement.

For 24 years, from 1982 to 2006, Mr. Ray was the owner and principal architect for his firm Duane Ray Architects with a staff of 4. The firm specialized in Industrial Fabrication Plants and Medical & Hospital Projects with a major expertise in Radiographic Imaging. The firm provided all architectural services for Scottsdale Medical Imaging Ltd, EVDI Medical Imaging and Arizona Bone & Joint Specialists.

In 2006 Duane Ray Architects and Morfeld Associates combined forces creating a new firm Morfeld Ray Architects. The new firm continues to service existing clients such as EVDI, Scottsdale Medical Imaging, and Kingman Regional Medical Center and has grown to a staff of 8. The new firm incorporates the best of both previous practices with new growth in healthcare in Flagstaff, Winslow, Cottonwood, Prescott and the Valley.

In 2004, Mr. Ray was contracted to design a new medical office building for Doctor Paul Bonham. The facility, the Ocotillo Professional Building, is a 15,000 square foot two story steel & masonry structure built on the edge of small lake in the Ocotillo Neighborhood in Chandler Arizona. The building has gone on to receive several design awards from the City of Chandler, Southwest Contractor Best Medical Building 2008, and the National Concrete Masonry Designs Awards.

Mike is a Principal of Morfeld Ray Architects bringing nearly 30 years of experience in the architectural field, most of it in the healthcare environment.  He has extensive experience coordinating complex projects, working with clients and consultants to ensure that design goals are implemented throughout the contract document and construction process.  Mike is a registered architect in Arizona, Nevada, and Nebraska. 

Prior to combining forces and creating Morfeld Ray Architects, Mike was the principle of his own firm Morfeld Associates from 2001-2006.  During this period Mr. Morfeld established lasting ties with the rural medical community of Northern Arizona.  Working exclusively in the medical field, he provided much needed technical services to the outlying areas of Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu, Winslow, and Cottonwood Arizona.

Prior to forming his own firm, Mike was a valuable asset as liaison and Project Architect for Cornoyer Hendrick’s healthcare division.
