NIDO is a specialized building design and building science studio creating climate-resilient, highly refined custom homes across the Pacific Northwest and California. Founded in 2011 by Brett Sichello, our practice is built on a foundation of deep technical literacy and rigorous environmental modeling.
Contemporary residential design thrives on grand volumes, bold cantilevers, and expansive walls of glass. At NIDO, our deep integration of building physics allows us to seamlessly realize these ambitious features. We optimize the home’s envelope to effortlessly maintain a flawless interior climate, absolute acoustic calm, and pristine air quality throughout every season—ensuring that the home’s performance is as sophisticated as its aesthetic.

NIDO operates as a specialized building design practice, focusing our primary design work on custom homes and boutique 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.
