At a young age , Nick , a native Rhode Islander , was captivated by the historic homes of Wickford Village and excelled at math and art in school . After completing Auburn University ’ s five-year accredited architecture program , he returned to New England and gained valuable work experience at two small firms in Massachusetts . Once obtaining licensure , Nick founded MASS Architect in 2016 in order to apply what he learned in both school and work and to provide clients with a higher level of service . Well established in New England ’ s design community , the small business grew each year and is now based in East Greenwich . Recently completed projects include a sprawling waterfront shingle-style home in Jamestown along with a detached accessory dwelling unit which functions as a pool house .
