NIDO operates as a specialized building design practice, focusing our primary design work on custom homes and boutique small scale multi-family projects up to four units. Brett Sichello is a registered Applied Science Technologist (AScT) specializing in Building Design through the ASTTBC. While we act exclusively as building envelope or technical consultants on larger commercial developments, our residential studio is dedicated to bringing institutional-grade building physics to private commissions, ensuring your home is visually striking, exceptionally comfortable, and meticulously planned to endure.
