Gramercy Plaza
Gramercy Plaza
Gramercy Plaza is a 3-Story building, about 30,000sf, located in the Gramercy Subdivision of Meridian. The building was designed as a core and shell building with leasable spaces. The building exterior is designed with a mix of stucco and brick, fitting into the surrounding neighborhood. A rhythm of undulation was created with brick columns and arches, taller corner features, and metal awnings at the corners and entry.
The facility included a common area 2-Story lobby, as well as a common restroom core. Since construction, the building has filled up with tenants and is fully occupied. A second mirror-image building is under construction now and is located directly south of this building, with an estimated completion date in 2020. Space is still available in the second building.

AC Hotel
AC Hotel
The modular AC Hotel in Santa Rosa California demonstrates the future of efficient, sustainable, and stylish hotel construction. This innovative hotel uses modular building technology to accelerate project timelines, maintain high-quality standards, and reduce environmental impact. Each module, prefabricated offsite, arrived fully equipped with electrical, plumbing, and finishing details. This modular approach reduced on-site construction time, minimizing neighborhood disruption and creating a seamless integration with Santa Rosa’s urban landscape.
The AC Hotel combines modern aesthetics with functionality, showcasing the architectural potential of modular design. Each module reflects Marriott’s contemporary AC Hotels brand, featuring minimalist interiors, sleek furnishings, and spacious layouts. By completing modules in a controlled factory environment, the construction team ensures consistent quality across every room. Consequently, the process also allows for precise energy-saving features, such as high-performance insulation and energy-efficient windows, that align with California’s strict energy standards.
Using modular construction provided key environmental and financial benefits. Offsite production decreased waste, controlled emissions, and optimized material use, supporting Santa Rosa’s sustainability goals. This strategy also enabled faster construction, delivering rooms ready for guests sooner and reducing the impact of rising construction costs. For guests, the modular design provides a comfortable, quiet stay, as factory-assembled walls help insulate sound between rooms.
Located in the heart of Santa Rosa, the AC Hotel offers easy access to local attractions, making it an ideal choice for travelers. The hotel includes a rooftop lounge, fitness center, and high-tech meeting spaces, catering to both leisure and business travelers. Furthermore, it also incorporates California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle with open-air seating areas and green spaces.
The Santa Rosa AC Hotel is more than a place to stay; it’s an example of sustainable, efficient hospitality design. Through modular construction, the hotel meets high standards of quality, sustainability, and guest satisfaction, showcasing a new era of environmentally-conscious lodging.

Courtyard by Marriott
Courtyard by Marriott
Located at 1255 NE North Fairway Drive in Pullman, this Courtyard by Marriott is on Washington State University’s campus and within one mile of the Palouse Ridge Golf Course. The Pullman Courtyard by Marriott is only the second Marriott hotel to be built using modular construction. The 122-unit hotel was set by crane on the campus of Washington State University in the winter of 2016. On November 16, 2016, a set event where Hoteliers, Developers, and General Contractors witnessed the crane set of Marriott’s second modular hotel to be built using modular technology (first Courtyard brand built using modular technology). The four-story, 76,000-square-foot hotel was built off-site in Boise, ID, with all rooms and finishes in accordance with Marriott specifications. EVstudio Idaho (formerly neUdesign) Architecture provided AOR services for the off-site portion of construction, working closely with the manufacturer throughout the design and construction phases of this groundbreaking project.

Hilton Home 2 Suites
Hilton Home 2 Suites
We had the opportunity to partner with a great team to produce the first Modular Hotel in the San Francisco Bay area. As Modular AOR for the Hilton Home2, EVstudio was able to leverage our years of industry experience to help bring the design to fruition. The offsite construction process was able to assist the developer in their goals of expedited delivery in an urban setting, allowing the Hotel to be open 8 months ahead of the traditional build schedule.
The 155-room project was a hybrid design with the ground floor utilizing traditional construction and levels 2-5 utilizing a modular delivery method. We were able to complete the State Permit Submittal package and coordinate the modular portion of the design with the project AOR to ensure proper coordination between the two delivery methods.

A partnership with EVstudio brings your project to a new level.
- Ensure efficiency of circulation. We design all projects to creatively account for required circulation, including driveways, sidewalks, stairs, elevators, and corridors.
- Time is money. With every delay, you are further away from booking and serving customers. Our teams are sensitive to this and have systems in place to help diagnose potential issues before construction, keeping your grand opening on track.
- Create the right choice of systems. Based on decades of combined experience, we optimize structural, mechanical, and electrical systems for efficiency and functionality.
- Sustainable Design Options. Sustainability is a core strength and something we can prioritize when crafting your building designs. Energy modeling for CPACE financing can be a critical piece of your capital stack.
