Sam Naylor, AIA is an architect, educator, and researcher with a focus in American multifamily housing.

He believes everyone has a right to a dignified, affordable, and delightful dwelling; and is in pursuit of more expansive and imaginative designs for housing—from the block to the bedroom.

 He is a founding partner of Nominal︎︎︎, an architecture and design firm based in Boston and Minneapolis; and an adjunct
Associate Professor in Practice at the University of Minnesota College of Design.

Lately he has been fervently decarbonizing and renovating a co-operatively owned triple decker with friends in Jamaica Plain, MA.

He was the lead designer for Equitable by Design: a zoning research project at Northeastern University, and a Harvard Druker Traveling Fellow investigating co-operative housing design around the world. He is an author of the recently released report: Legalizing Mid-rise Single-Stair Housing in Massachusetts, as well as a co-editor of 

The State of Housing Design 2023, a book about national design trends—both published by The Harvard Joint Center for Housing.
