What sets us apart isn’t just our process, it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Nathan’s path to architecture didn't start in an office; it started on the job site.

Before he ever sat down at a drafting table, Nathan spent four years as a carpenter and framer, physically assembling the bones of custom homes. This hands-on beginning gave him a deep respect for the art of building. He learned early on how a 2D line on a page translates into a 3D structure in the real world—and more importantly, how a well-thought-out detail can prevent a headache for a homeowner years down the road.

Design Informed by Craftsmanship Since earning his architectural license in 2018, Nathan has seamlessly blended this practical knowledge with high-level design. This dual perspective allows him to be a more effective advocate for his clients. He designs with a "builder’s eye," ensuring that every creative solution is as enduring and practical as it is beautiful. For Nathan, the goal is to bridge the gap between a dream and a reality that stands the test of time.

A Personal Commitment Based in Springfield, Missouri, Nathan’s work is a reflection of his personal values: love God, love people, and design great buildings.

Whether he is collaborating with a client on a new forever home or working on a project in his own backyard, he brings a craftsman’s energy and a designer’s precision to every task. He is dedicated to creating spaces that don't just look great on opening day, but feel like home for a lifetime.
