Designing architecture that smiles back. 
Tartan

Built: 2020
Builder: Easter Creek Construction
Millworker: Viator Design & Construction

Photos coming soon! Situated on a triangular lot in the Buena Vista neighborhood, Tartan Residence reinterprets the area’s traditional vernacular with a contemporary sensibility. Its transitional design balances familiar forms with a refined modern expression.

Inspired by the geometry of a tartan pattern, intersecting bands in plan and section organize the home’s layout, creating a clear rhythm between public and private spaces.  The palette is understated yet inviting—warm neutrals, natural textures, and tailored details evoke a quiet confidence and timeless ease.





Where crossing lines become living space, and geometry settles into grace.

Nisha Mary Prasad, AIA

Hi! I’m Nisha Mary Prasad. I’m a registered architect in North Carolina and New York, and I’m passionate about creating spaces that feel as good as they look. My work spans architecture, interior design, and urban design—bringing together beauty, function, and a sense of ease.

I like to design spaces that smile back—warm, welcoming environments with a clear point of view and a sense of character.

For the past 15 years, I’ve also taught part-time at architecture and interior design universities and will serve as President of the AIA Winston-Salem Chapter in 2026—continuing my commitment to building community and supporting professional growth. 



With more than sixteen years of experience across New York City, Miami, and Winston-Salem, my work includes soulful homes, thoughtful additions, and a range of commercial environments—from workplaces to hospitality and retail. No matter the project, I always begin by listening. By taking the time to understand each client’s goals, I’m able to shape spaces that feel distinctly their own—modern or timeless, refined or relaxed, but always deeply personal and thoughtfully lived-in.
