We’d love to work with you!

Diana and Christos met while completing their graduate architectural studies, where they quickly became close friends and colleagues. They discovered deep overlap in their respective third-culture upbringings as Taiwanese and Greek Americans, love for 1990’s & 2000’s Americana, and the American West.  After spending substantial time on the east coast, their professional paths converged in Los Angeles, leading to the formation of Nee Bolos Architects.

Nee Bolos Architects is a full-service architecture firm providing a client-focused journey from the first meeting to construction. We differentiate ourselves in several ways:

  • We collaborate with our clients to arrive at the best design solutions for their lifestyles through building programming, planning, and visualization.

  • Through a deep understanding of building code and city/county zoning, we expedite permitting as much as possible by navigating agency and municipality review in an efficient manner.

  • We pride ourselves on efficient and complete construction documents, solving as many problems as we can on paper so that we limit construction delays in the field.

Active projects span Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Marin Counties along with projects in Utah and Arizona.

Diana Nee

Diana Nee is a California-licensed architect whose global background and passion for cultural identity shape her human-centered approach to residential design. She holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University, where she was awarded the John W. Storrs Scholarship for outstanding professional promise, and a Bachelor of Science in Art & Design from MIT, where she received both the William Everett Chamberlain Award and the Laya & Jerome B. Wiesner Student Art Award.

Having grown up in both Taiwan and the United States, Diana is deeply interested in exploring the home as a container for culture, memory, and identity. Her undergraduate thesis examined the concept of familiarity through a deployable, modular furniture kit designed for modern nomads—a theme of adaptability that has continued to inform her career.

Diana’s professional experience spans high-profile international projects and luxury residential architecture. At Norihiko Dan Associates in Tokyo, she contributed to the award-winning expansion of Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 1, as well as the competition and commission for Taiwan’s Sun Moon Lake Visitor Center. Most recently, she spent several years at Turkel Design in Boston, guiding the design and delivery of custom, prefabricated high-end homes across complex geographic and regulatory environments.

Beyond professional practice, Diana serves as a docent at the historic Gamble House in Pasadena and as Vice Chair of the Arcadia Upper Rancho Santa Anita Architectural Review Board.
