DOP MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Nathan Van's Design.
In this new segment, we give you an inside look into a featured DOP member of the week. We may know the name or recognize a brand logo, but what do we really know about each other? This week we are spotlighting Nathan Vanags Design.
Nathan Vanags Design specializes in renovation and new construction projects with a keen understanding and sensitivity to environmental responsibility. For the past 15 years, a large part of owner and interior designer, Nathan Vanags, NCIDQ’s passion has centered around renovations that preserve some of the historic and classic architecture that is commonly disregarded and destroyed during the renovation process.
One of the first conversations Nathan has with his clientele who are looking to update a property is the importance of keeping the key architectural components intact where appropriate instead of full gut renovations. As an added service, Nathan helps to evaluate properties in an effort to identify which have been built to last and to identify elements that can be kept and blended together for an old meets new innovative design look that reduces the impact on the environment.
The entire concept of conducting a renovation over a full gut is keeping the carbon footprint in mind as a matter of sustainability. Everything is considered from the plumbing and electrical systems that are designed to require less energy to systems designed to use less water, changing the overall green footprint of the home.
To Nathan, awareness matters, and he feels that it is imperative that the interior design community continually push green and energy-efficient initiatives to their residential and commercial clientele. In the residential realm, individual use and consumption awareness is key and Nathan Vanags Design prides itself on informing clients about how to approach a project to have the best aesthetic results while being smart and kind to the earth.
