WHAT

NWP is a full service art and architecture practice founded by Nicholas W. Polansky in 2014. NWP offers residential and commercial architectural services, as well as permit entitlement and construction management, master planning, landscape design, and furniture. NWP creates unique and thoughtful spaces, skillfully combining conceptual design, constructability and project management with innovative and stunning results. NWP’s hands-on approach to design and construction streamlines communication across all parties.

HOW

NWP works closely with clients to develop a design vision. Through an iterative process of design studies, the vision is translated into a set of design documents for bidding, permitting and construction. NWP works in partnership with contractors, engineers, and designers to bring that vision into reality.

WHY

Nick believes design changes the world. It changes our perception, our relationships, and our emotions. As a trained landscape architect and architect, Nick seamlessly integrates the inside and outside as a cohesive and continuous experience, often trying to capture the emotions found at the edge of a meadow, a great vista, or a rippling stream. Nick makes architecture understated, minimal, and timeless, as though it has been shaped organically by the environment that it inhabits. He references his time studying in Scandinavia and his obsession with Japanese's craft and his childhood getting lost in the dappled light of Northern California.
