Who We Are

Every home begins with a vision. Nest brings that vision to life through intentional planning, seamless collaboration, and craftsmanship that honors both design and detail. Deeply connected to Atlanta’s in-town neighborhoods, we create custom homes that reflect the character of their surroundings and the individuality of the people who live in them. The result is distinctive homes, crafted with care — spaces that feel balanced, enduring, and distinctly personal.

Nest is led by partners Lauren and Frank Wickstead, whose complementary strengths shape the foundation of our work. Lauren brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach rooted in communication, organization, and an eye for design. Frank draws on decades of experience in construction and a deep commitment to craftsmanship, building science, and collaborative project delivery. Together, they guide every project with intention — uniting architects, designers, and homeowners in a process that feels clear, considered, and genuinely enjoyable. Their shared belief is simple: the best homes are built through trust, planning, and care.

From the first sketch to the final detail, our work is anchored in thoughtful planning — aligning design, budget, and construction early so every phase unfolds with clarity, care, and purpose.
