Say hello to your team
Every piece of this puzzle is integral to the overall success of your project. Meet the team that officially makes up Nistenhaus.
Justin holds a Masters Degree in Architecture from Kent State University, where upon graduation in 2007 he began practicing in the profession near his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. His initial focus had him immersed in the field of commercial and healthcare services. After his arrival to Saint Louis, he honed his craft in residential work, primarily working on architectural interiors, and creating well-crafted environments for affluent clients in St. Louis. With Nistenhaus, he looks forward to applying his knowledge and skills to a farther reaching audience, while maintaining the quality he knows everyone deserves to enjoy.
Mike holds two Masters Degrees from Washington University in St. Louis, both in Architecture and Urban Design. After completing his schooling, he transitioned into a non-traditional role as designer in furniture sales with an emphasis on interior design. The past five years have resulted in a variety of projects and a surprising array of clients, that have included a range of urban to suburban, and young professionals to families. This venture is a continuation of the work he has been fostering within a retail setting, but will allow his creativity to reach a wider depth and greater audience.
People saying nice things
Compliments from clients and colleagues alike. Here's what they have to say.
”I had the pleasure of working with them on a LARGE historic renovation in Lafayette Square and they were not only good to work with as design team, but provided sound input throughout the process with my construction crews that were doing the hands-on work on the home.
David NallColleague from a 2017 Project
”We've hired Nistenhaus on three occasions... I appreciate that [they work] within almost any budget and pulls both designer items in with things from Target. Because its such a great mix, no one notices.
Kristina CClient in 2014
”What can I say, Mike and Justin have completely transformed our cookie-cutter subdivision house into a stylish yet cozy home that truly reflects our taste!
Kate PfeifferClient in 2015
”For each decision, Mike provided 3-4 suggestions. This was a great decision making model for me as I would have been overwhelmed otherwise. I appreciate the attention to detail, the creative ideas and the resources that Nistenhaus Design brought to this project.
