Nick Deaver Architect

Making one’s place for living or work can be a profound and challenging process. My purpose is to solve this problem in a beautiful and meaningful way that moves the client.”rnNick Deaverrn Fundamental aspects of Nick Deaver’s work are the use of natural light; the flow of space from one room to the next; a focus on the subtle textures and colors of wood, metal, and stone; a dialogue between the traditional and the modern; and the dissolving of conventional barriers between a building’s interior and its surroundings. Nick is interested in creating memorable places that respond to local context with a commitment to minimal demands on the environment. He also believes that architecture can awaken the senses, reconnecting us with nature. Nick strives for sustainability in his work. Dramatic results can often be achieved through the use of modest materials, and a building that is infused with beauty and meaning will become something permanent and cherished, rather than a temporary solution with a superficially pleasing style. Nick has received numerous awards for a wide range of projects, from small residential additions to a world-renowned genetics laboratory. He is involved in each aspect of the design and construction process, and he works as closely and respectfully with the builders and tradespeople as with owners. Communication enlarges each participant’s investment and raises the craft of the building. “Architecture is personal – the art of making a place for life, happiness, and well being.”rnNick Deaverrn
