After 40 years of award-winning design, strategic planning, consulting, leadership, and industry recognition including being an IIDA Leaders Breakfast Honoree, Stephanie Kirkpatrick will retire effective July 1, 2025. She has been instrumental in developing NBA's interior design practice, bringing a unique perspective from experiences as an NBA client, head of real estate at a private university, and consultant on large corporate ventures. Her contributions will leave a lasting impact on the firm and the Atlanta design community, and we wish her safe travels, good shooting, and fresh powder on the Montana slopes in this exciting next chapter!

With this passing of the torch, we’re proud to announce Melissa Staton Borrmann as NBA’s new Director of Interior Design. A partner who joined the firm in 2012, Melissa brings more than two decades of experience, industry recognition, and a collaborative approach to this new role.

The Leaf in New Rochelle, NY stands as an example of modern urban architecture. The 26-story mixed-use residential tower designed by NBA’s DC office, features layered champagne-colored metals and formal composition create a dynamic, sleek facade. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound and Manhattan skyline, while gold accents add depth and texture to the design. Set to open in late spring, The Leaf embodies a new standard of luxury living.
