Max Henderson
Nick designed and managed our build and did an extraordinary job. The designs he created were beautiful - absolutely maximising the opportunity we had and elevating the aesthetics and functionality of the space hugely. The build was managed extremely well, creative and effective solutions were provided when challenges arose, and we’re totally thrilled with the end product. It exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed our home. Both the fundamentals of his architecture as well as the finer details of his finishing are top class and meant that, what could have been an average side return, has become a living space that brings us joy every day.

What do you love most about your job?
Nick Elias, Director: A difficult question to answer, I suppose all of it! I get an enormous sense of enjoyment from developing ideas with clients, understanding their vision, and showing them what's possible in their budget.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Nick Elias, Director: Working at Foster + Partners and as an Associate at Haptic Architects I worked on large and very design-oriented powerful schemes such as Apple Headquarters, CA, HS2, Istanbul New Airport, and Oslo Government Headquarters. I started my practice to follow the agenda of design excellence, feeding in expertise and organisational skills from the larger firms, but instead to work on smaller more intimate architecture, of which I also had much experience of.
