About

About nimtim architects.

We are a practice who want to make and talk about architecture in a different way. Our work is about people and the stories and ideas they bring to the projects we make together. We create buildings that reflect the personalities and values of the people and communites that will live, work or play in them. We want to tell stories that resonate with everyone. To bring people inside the extraordinary process of making and reimagining buildings and landscapes. We started nimtim architects following nim’s cancer diagnosis (and recovery). After this experience, we wanted to create a practice that is approachable, playful and supportive of everyone we work with. This spirit is reflected in the work we produce.
