a residential and commercial design studio based in Northern Michigan. We create spaces that are both modern and timeless, blending thoughtful design and technical precision into the landscape and your lifestyle.
Our work centers around connection — between people, place, and purpose. Every project begins with listening, evolves through collaboration, and ends with spaces that feel deeply personal, enduring, and beautifully crafted.
After nearly three decades in architectural practice, Paul founded NØDE Architecture to return to what inspires him most, creating homes and spaces that feel deeply personal, timeless, and thoughtfully crafted.
Working alongside his wife, Jen, NØDE is rooted in partnership and shared purpose. Together, they bring a balance of creativity and clarity to every project, blending thoughtful design with practical detail.
Grounded in professionalism and care, NØDE’s work is about more than buildings; it’s about shaping spaces that connect people to their surroundings, their routines, and their stories.
