“ As architects , we ’ re innately curious and natural problem solvers with a broad understanding of our living environments . That enables us to translate our clients ’ needs into architectural solutions .”
— Mike Parrott , AIA , LEED AP President
Today , principals Mike Parrott , Brian Maytum , John Flath and Eric Fadness guide the firm . The entire team of 30 includes a broad range from young , recent hires to those who have been with the firm for 30 years . “ Being guided by integrity , designing thoughtfully , cultivating optimism , delivering excellence , and empowering the team are our core values ,” Parrott says . “ Those values foster a feel of family here , evidenced by loyalty and longevity .”
“ We strive to balance the poetry of design and the pragmatic aspects of design ,” Parrott says . “ We want our designs to create meaningful experiences , but they must also serve their purposes by being functional and responsive . Designs also must technically
endure over many years , remaining easy to operate and maintain .”
The firm utilizes building information modeling ( BIM ) tools to attain a set of goals and confirm that designs will work in the real world . These tools help ensure projects are as energy- and water-efficient as possible , and that they reduce waste and provide healthier environments .
“ As architects , we ’ re innately curious and natural problem solvers with a broad understanding of our living environments ,” Parrott says . “ That enables us to translate our clients ’ needs into architectural solutions .”
Nacht & Lewis will continue to focus on resilience and sustainability — both
crucial in California . Energy reliance on fossil fuels comes , in large part , from buildings , so designers play a significant role in reducing that reliance . The firm has also ventured into projects in the behavioral health market , which is experiencing growth and need .
“ With adaptability and flexibility , we ’ ve been able to stay on track through the pandemic ,” Parrott says . “ We ’ ve been able to integrate processes , projects and people with much success and we look forward to shaping Sacramento and communities throughout California for another 100 years .”
