Creative Director & Founder

Signature of Nikki Haramoglis

Westward Atelier was founded by Nikki Haramoglis with a focus on community and connection in design.

The studio approaches every commission as a collaboration—listening first, aligning on intent, and working closely with clients so decisions remain clear and considered from start to finish.

Rooted in Nikki’s upbringing between Europe and California’s coast, the studio blends classic California ease with the quiet rigor of European architecture. Light, material, and proportion guide the work; restraint and craft ensure spaces feel grounded and built to last.

Services span concept and schematic design through construction administration, interior finishes, and soft-goods selections. The studio favors natural materials and thoughtful use of space, ensuring each move serves both context and daily life. Whether it’s the arc of a custom banquette or the patina of a hand-finished surface, detail is measured by longevity and touch.

Westward Atelier maintains long-standing relationships with expert artisans, fabricators, vendors, and respected workrooms who share its standards. This network allows details to be executed with precision and continuity—from architecture to furnishings—so the outcome feels personal, contextual, and quietly enduring.

Though it began with a single vision, Westward Atelier is, at its core, a team. Every room is the work of many hands, each bringing an individual eye to a shared standard, from first concept to final detail.

Today, the firm’s work spans the California coast and beyond.
