Nacht & Lewis Architects has played an important role in shaping the skyline of Sacramento. The firm, established in 1922, has been practicing architecture for more than 80 years in Northern California. NLA has focused on the design of both private and public buildings, with an emphasis on government facilities. Our clients include Federal, state and county government agencies.

Because NLA is client-focused, our relationships are long-term. For example, in 1957 we began the planning and design of the Sacramento County Courthouse. Our role in the expansion of this massive criminal justice building continues today. The building, covering an entire city block in downtown Sacramento, received an honor award for design and a 25th Anniversary Merit Award for Architectural Significance. NLA's involvement in this project has seen its masterplanned 40 courts completed from the planning and design of the original 22 courtrooms. In addition, the firm has designed renovations and alterations to the original courts to accommodate the changing needs of the Judiciary.

Today, NLA has a practice that balances both private and public sector design efforts. Our experience includes design-build of commercial and governmental facilities; a strong practice of educational facility design; a growing healthcare and senior living facility expertise; and our continued emphasis on justice and correctional projects.
