NIMMO AMERICAN STUDIO FOR PROGRESSIVE ARCHITECTURE

 

Nimmo American was founded by architect Joshua Nimmo [AIA-LEED AP] to advance a vision to produce architecture that forwards progress of the individual, society, and their relationship to place. The American spirit of innovation serves as constant inspiration for his work.

From his beginnings in design, Joshua has embraced the freedoms of modern architecture and has further sought to expand his definition of the modern approach to include a precept for advancement rooted in context and societal relevance; abandoning narrow ambitions of architecture as objects (for viewing). To Nimmo, the focus for architecture goes beyond a static single instance to a dynamic experience, system, and solution in and through time.

Joshua began practicing architecture professionally in 1997. In addition to formal practice, he also developed modern single family residences. In 2003, he began work for the Dallas based firm of morrisonseifertmurphy (MSM). During his tenure, he worked directly under renowned architect, Lionel Morrison FAIA, as Lionel’s senior project architect. Joshua led several project teams for MSM on numerous projects of significance including the W Dallas Residences, One Arts Plaza Residences, Northaven Residence, and LEED Gold Certified International Business Park Phase 15.

  Nimmo is the founding partner of bloc-, a syndicate of design professionals. As well, he is the franchise partner of One Fast Buffalo in their co-working concept Workhaus. The open-source assets of both bloc- and Workhaus serve to strengthen Nimmo American’s ability to push forward into the frontiers of architecture.

Sustainability is an integral element in Nimmo American's approach.  Joshua is a LEED accredited professional and was the project architect for the first LEED Gold Certified office building in Plano, Texas.  He has continued to infuse numerous passive, energy, water, and resource conservation technologies into his projects.
