Nicholas J. Salvadeo, AIA began his practice as Nicholas J. Salvadeo, AIA, P.C. in 1972. Nicholas Salvadeo was a student of the Bauhaus and was inspired by Walter Gropius and the other founders of the International Style. He was also a brilliant legal mind, and he became well known and respected for his extensive knowledge of zoning and building codes. The firm grew and became a well known local firm serving New York City. In 1996, David L. Businelli, AIA became a partner and the firm was changed to Salvadeo Associates Architects, P.C. Nick retired shortly thereafter, and the firm was lead by Businelli and Principal Cesare Giaquinto. The firm grew to become an internationally recognized design firm, achieving many awards along the way. Nick passed away in 2005.

Having evolved into an internationally recognized design firm, Salvadeo Associates was revisioned by David Businelli, AIA and became Studio 16 Architecture in 2008.
