Nick Loeper , LEED AP

When I think of Mike Nolan, I see a list of character traits that should be the envy of any Architect. At the top of this list stands Mike's unimposing confidence while engaging in contemplative dialogue. I found him to be a very intelligent designer, and a great addition to the Berk's/Lehigh community. Mike is willing and able to wax the theoretical concepts of space, while always considering the client's needs and expectations for their project. He understands value-added design, while striving to provide nothing less than the best possible solution. I consider Mike to be a leader 24/7/12, and suspect his future ascent may require an altimeter.

      Horizon DDM is an overarching work-life concept that picks up where my Graduate Thesis Investigation left off - with a question. The architect is inquisitive by nature and must be able to see what it, with a sense of what should be to know what must be done.
