Nicole Kandel | Owner, Architect
An early love and appreciation for beautiful spaces and objects is what propelled Nicole to pursue a career in architecture and design. Growing up in Miami and Naples, Florida she was exposed to a diverse community of arts and culture at an early age. After graduating from the University of Florida with both her Bachelor of Design in Architecture and Master of Architecture degrees, she spent six years apprenticing with a well- established architect in New Smyrna Beach; who shared her appreciation of site-specific design, quality craftsmanship, and organic modern architecture. Now as an architect and designer, she works along side her husband, Brent, in their own central Florida practice. She and her husband have also recently established a home and lifestyle retail storefront, Victor & Rose, located in downtown Deland, Florida.
