Michaela MacLeod and Nicholas Croft founded Polymetis, a visual arts studio based in Toronto. Working at the intersection between the traditional disciplines of art and architecture, each project is approached with an awareness of the influences that create our surrounding environment and how those forces may be constructed or controlled to reveal a familiar territory or space from an unusual perspective. The studio's site-specific projects center around interdisciplinary exploration, an experimental spirit, a dialogue between tradition and innovation, and a keen sensitivity to spatial dynamics. These elements form the core ethos of the studio's work.

MacLeod is from Moncton, New Brunswick, and earned her professional degree in architecture from Waterloo University. She was awarded the Ontario's Architects Association Guild Medal Award and the Prix de Rome in Architecture for Emerging Practitioners for researching contaminated landscapes in the public realm. She is an intern architect with the Ontario Association of Architects.

Originally from Bellingham, Washington, Croft earned his professional degree in architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). He received the American Institute of Architects Henry Adams Medal and held a post-professional Master of Architecture in Urban Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Croft has worked as an Intern Architect at 3six0, Studio Luz, Studio Daniel Libeskind, and as an artist assistant and digital fabrication specialist for Maya Lin.
