Nico Marques’ architectural photography practice is shaped by his training in architecture and years of experience as a residential and commercial designer. This has given him an edge in not only drawing out the subtleties of each design, but also giving him a deep understanding and respect for what it takes to turn an initial sketch on a cocktail napkin into a three-dimensional structure.

Over the last couple of years alone, Nico’s work has appeared in many prestigious domestic and international industry and consumer publications including Architectural Review, Architectural Record, California Homes, Contract, DETAIL (Germany), DWELL, Los Angeles Times and Trends.

Most of Nico’s work takes place throughout California and the Southwestern US, but recent assignments also included projects in Colorado, Virginia, San José (Costa Rica), as well as his country of origin: Portugal. Nico has fun, and it shows during his shoots as well as in his photographs.
