Nicole Migeon Architect (NMA) is a New York City firm specializing in hospitality, spa, salon, and residential design…the spaces where we retreat, relax, and recharge. Distinctively versatile, it offers a wide range of design services, including architecture, interiors, furniture, and lighting, as well as custom millwork and art consultation. The firm offers an uncommon design aesthetic, born from the eye of a principal with a rich background in the fine and decorative arts. Like paints on a palette, sensuous and tactile materials are the inspiration of any NMA commission. Architecturally, the firm’s work is characterized by sensible minimalism and elegant juxtapositions reflecting attention to sustainability and community. Outdoor and indoor environments are literally integrated through open, oversized doors and windows that dissolve boundaries. Versatile interior spaces are created by recessed doors and layered planes of translucent or opaque panels that move to suit mood, time of day, or purpose. The firm’s work process is as unique as its design approach. Its core team builds a consortium of specialists including consulting architects, engineers, metal workers, writers, artists, and photographers, on any given project. The design method is equally collaborative, initiated through client interviews to discern tastes and needs. Classic principles and contemporary elements are then applied to create pleasing, functional spaces.
