Helios Studios is a Santa Fe–based design and fabrication studio focused on architectural metalwork and thoughtfully designed spaces.

Founded by Nick and joined by Reed, our small team brings a hands-on approach to everything we create—from custom gates, pergolas, and architectural steelwork to our prefabricated Living Studio and Workshop.

We both grew up in Santa Fe, a place that continues to shape our appreciation for architecture, craft, material, and the relationship between a structure and its surroundings. Our travels around the world have expanded that perspective, exposing us to different traditions of architecture and design and inspiring the restrained, material-driven approach behind our work.

We believe good design should feel intentional without feeling overdesigned. Our work emphasizes simple forms, honest materials, thoughtful details, and lasting construction. By keeping design and fabrication closely connected, we’re able to take an idea from the first sketch through construction while maintaining control over the details that make each project unique.

Whether we're designing a small architectural space or fabricating a one-of-a-kind piece of steelwork, our goal is the same: to create something considered, functional, and built to belong.
