Scott Parker Architect, AIA

Founding Principal

 

Scott is a Denver native so he understands the subtle characteristics of western architecture,

especially as it pertains to Colorado. But through his travels he has stored cache of inspiration to draw from. Like many kids, he cut his teeth on Lincoln Logs and an obsession was born. After growing up

in Denver he followed his dream to Boston to earn a professional degree in architecture from the Boston Architectural Center while working with acclaimed design firms Kallmann McKinnell & Wood and Royal Barry Wills.

 

Scott knew his heart was in Colorado with his family, so after graduating he and his wife packed up their Jeep and headed home. In 2002 he decided to start his own firm. After many hours at the dining table, a name was born. To him the nest is a symbol of simplicity and complexity, nothing can be removed without upsetting the composition, nothing is superfluous, it represents a perfect Place, safe and comforting, a place you want be.

 

 

Scott Hamman Architect, AIA, LEED AP

Project Manager

 

Scott is also a Denver native and has been in the Nest since 2008. He attended Bucknell University where he earned a BA in Biology and returned to Colorado for his Masters of Architecture at the University of Colorado. He has studied abroad in London, Rotterdam, Berlin and Capetown. Somehow he managed to find time to guide fly-fishing trips in Vail and spend a season in Jackson Hole as a highly skilled rental ski technician bum.

 

Scott deftly oversees all phases of projects, from generating concepts to guiding homeowners through construction to ensure that the integrity of the design is upheld.
