Celebrating Excellence: 2021 Idaho’s Best Winner and Best of Treasure Valley Recognition
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Excellence comes from
consistent dedication and outstanding client service. In 2021, neUdesign Architecture achieved both through a remarkable accomplishment. For the second consecutive year, neUdesign Architecture earned Statewide Winner and Best of Treasure Valley in the Architect category of the Idaho’s Best Awards. This recognition reflected the trust of clients, colleagues, and communities throughout Idaho.
The achievement also marked an important chapter in the firm’s history. During 2021, EVstudio acquired neUdesign Architecture. Following the acquisition, the Idaho office became EVolution Studio, combining local expertise with EVstudio’s multidisciplinary architecture and engineering services.
What Does Statewide Winner Mean?
The Statewide Winner designation represents the highest recognition within the Idaho’s Best Awards program. This is the most coveted honor recognizing Idaho’s best business in a specific category. Businesses first compete within their regional markets. Regional winners then advance for statewide consideration based on public voting and reputation scoring.
Receiving this distinction twice in a row demonstrated consistent excellence rather than a single successful year.
Understanding Best of Treasure Valley
The Best of Treasure Valley award recognizes outstanding businesses serving one of Idaho’s fastest-growing regions. The Treasure Valley includes communities such as Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Caldwell, Mountain Home, McCall, and many surrounding areas. These communities continue to experience significant residential and commercial growth. Winning within this competitive region highlights a firm’s ability to serve diverse clients across many project types.

Building on Specialized Expertise
Before joining EVstudio, neUdesign Architecture established a strong reputation across several specialized markets.
Its expertise included:
- Modular design
- Commercial architecture
- Residential architecture
- Industrial facilities
This broad experience allowed the team to solve unique design challenges while maintaining exceptional quality. Furthermore, each project benefited from thoughtful planning and close collaboration with clients.
Becoming EVolution Studio
The 2021 acquisition by EVstudio created exciting opportunities for both organizations.
Rather than replacing neUdesign’s strengths, EVstudio expanded them. The Idaho office became EVolution Studio, bringing together experienced architects and in-house engineering professionals under one multidisciplinary organization. Clients gained access to additional structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and planning expertise. Consequently, projects could move more efficiently from concept through construction.
Why Awards Matter
Industry awards recognize more than beautiful buildings. They acknowledge outstanding customer experiences, consistent project delivery, and lasting community impact. The Idaho’s Best Awards combine public nominations, customer voting, and business reputation into a comprehensive evaluation process. This approach recognizes firms that consistently exceed client expectations. For architecture firms, this recognition reflects successful collaboration between designers, consultants, contractors, and clients.
Continuing the Legacy
Although the company name evolved, the commitment to exceptional design remained unchanged. Today, EVolution Studio continues serving Idaho clients while benefiting from EVstudio’s integrated architecture and engineering model. The same local knowledge now combines with expanded technical resources, allowing teams to tackle increasingly complex projects across multiple industries. This combination supports smarter design decisions and stronger project outcomes.

Looking Forward
Recognition provides an opportunity to celebrate past accomplishments. However, it also creates motivation for future success. The foundation built by neUdesign continues through EVolution Studio and EVstudio’s collaborative approach.
As Idaho continues to grow, demand for innovative commercial, residential, industrial, and modular projects will also increase. Integrated design teams remain well positioned to help communities meet those evolving needs.
