Work

Nathan specializes in modern, innovative, sustainable architecture and design. With an acute appreciation for those who will use his architecture, Nathan is always intrigued by his architecture's expectations and intended use. His work provides pragmatic and innovative solutions that translate into an architecture which is not only simple and minimal itself, but simplifies and facilitates the life and behaviors of those who will use it. Nathan's design interests focus on the orchestration of new forms and relationships of use, sequence, circulation, sustainable technologies and affordable, high-quality design. With these interests, he has adapted his modern perspective to explore and create environments that are both aesthetically and functionally rewarding in their distinct palettes of light, materials, finishes, and details.
