Nicholas Borrell integrates his experience-based, 3-D “builder’s mind” with his intuitive/empathic “healer’s mind.”
As a small business owner and former general contractor, Nicholas has 35+ years of technical, practical experience as a builder. His knowledge of homeopathy, flower essences, feng shui, nutrition and hypnotherapy, acquired through continual personal study and professional training, add a level of depth and sensitivity to the remodeling process – a demanding experience that can be challenging to many.
As Designer and/or Project Manager, Nicholas is a representative for the Homeowner; through his background as a builder, he facilitates with ease. This gifted blend of talents results in a unique and comprehensive approach to home design that is holistic and artful.
“I never apply a preordained template. Every client and every project is unique. I know that even small or subtle adjustments in physical space improve one’s quality of life. This work is client-centered; by listening carefully to my client’s needs and assessing the condition of the building, I hope to improve aesthetics, health and happiness.” – Nicholas
