2016 - 2019
NIDO Design is a residential design studio focused on modern aesthetics with a performance driven approach. We are inspired by simple forms that result in high performance, intelligent homes that reduce their ecological footprint by using significantly less energy and low embodied energy construction materials.
​
Their process is a collaborative one and each design solution is tailored specifically to the building site and client. Because our memories of places are inherently linked to stories we believe that a home that tells the story of a specific client, in a specific place, at a specific time enriches the experience and gives it a reason for being.
