About Us
Our Story
Years before the company was founded, Gilbert Nicolas had gained significant experience in the architectural field, professionally executing clients’ visions for their projects. Meanwhile, David Chelala evolved into a well-grounded architect with a vision for change and growth. A design project for a client evolved into the larger project of creating NCA Studios. Their collaboration derived upmarket designs which increased the demands on new projects and augmented their business position. They perceive architecture beyond designing as a tool of experimentation, enabling them to improve the quality of living through structures.
Mission, Vision
NCA is a collaborative architecture studio that is committed to prioritizing humans and nature in our designs. Our unique approach to architecture involves introducing a fresh perspective to the design process and creating spaces that promote a new way of thinking. We see ourselves as storytellers, creating spaces that engage and educate. As scenario creators, we constantly envision the various ways in which individuals, whether they be citizens, visitors, clients, or passersby, will experience and interact with the spaces, volumes, and architecture we design. We understand that creating architecture is not just about building, but about being a part of a cycle of life that has been ongoing for billions of years. Our goal is to contribute to this cycle by creating spaces that not only tell our story, but also contribute to making our planet a balanced place to live for generations to come. We recognize that each design is unique, and we strive to tailor our approach to fit the specific requirements of each project. We prioritize the participation of both the client and the architect in the design process. Whether designing a new addition or structure, we dive deep into the culture and essence of the surrounding area, while respecting its history and character.
