NIDO High-Performance Home Design

NIDO Design — Modern home design studio grounded in Passive House and building science.

NIDO Design is a residential design studio producing modern private residences across the Pacific West from its base in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. We believe that building science is the invisible engine that unlocks ambitious design, without compromising comfort or livability.

Our Principles

Comfort, Silence, and Resilience

Sensory experience reaches far beyond the visual and is shaped just as much by what lies beneath the surface: exceptional thermal stability, pristine indoor air, and acoustic calm.

Material Honesty

Timeless forms and unadorned materials — wood, steel, concrete — left to age and weather as they are, as part of the landscape.

Proven, Not Promised

Every design starts with performance modeling, not guesswork: high performance building envelopes that buffer the home from extreme heat, freezing winters, outside noise, and wildfire smoke.
