Chuck received his BArch from the Boston Architectural College. Early inspiration for his career in architectural began in childhood working for the family construction business through high school.

 

At home on the Vineyard for more than twenty years, Chuck finds inspiration in cooking; drawing comparisons between composing food dishes of contrasting layers and textures to designing structures. He enjoys traveling with his wife and twin boys, and experiencing different cultures, including the contiguous forty-eight states.

 

Chuck has enormous appreciation for the architectural designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Antoni Gaudi, and Tadao Ando.

Nelson has been designing residences on-island for over a decade. He holds a Masters of Architecture from Norwich University, where he was inspired by the work of Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava.

​

Nelson enjoys the process of learning how clients live and use their homes, and believes inspired architectural design enhances our lifestyles and the choices we make. On a theoretical level, his interest tends toward examining the parallels between architecture and the human body: framing to skeleton ("good bones"), and joinery to muscles, for example.

 

He lives with his family in Vineyard Haven.

Mia is a native islander and graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where she earned her BFA in Architecture. At SCAD, she was a Project Manager in the AIAS Freedom by Design club, and studied abroad in Southern France.

Mia is still focused on construction and architectural designs that respond to social, climate, and environmental issues.
