Nick began Klavier in 2018 to focus on his love of home design with a commitment to quality and detail, attention to clients and context, and equal regard for tradition and innovation. 

Nick has trained at leading architecture firms in the SF Bay Area including Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in San Francisco. He received his Masters of Architecture from the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley and his B.A. from McGill University in Montreal.

He grew up in a 130 year old Victorian in New York’s Hudson Valley, the son of a pianist, from where he draws the name Klavier. When not working on architecture or researching beautiful design objects, he plays classical piano and ultimate frisbee, and is inspired by nature. He lives in San Francisco.
