EVstudio’s architects, interior designers, and engineers are the experienced, creative and strategic experts in residential home design.
EVstudio’s residential team has designed custom and production homes for both Private Owners and Homebuilders throughout the United States. Our complete integration of interior design, architecture, and engineering is fairly unique in the design of homes. While most architectural firms must partner with outside consultants to complete the various phases of a project, our in-house teams collaborate early in the process to help avoid coordination issues. This means identifying and taking advantage of cost-saving construction methods, identifying opportunities for unique features, and making sure every aspect of your vision aligns with the finished product.
Designing For
Prior to designing a home, we meet with the homeowner or builder to “program” their project. In this initial meeting, we discuss size, style, budget, structure, the land, and the owner’s priorities. This allows us to have a comprehensive viewpoint that establishes the design.
Visualization is also a very important element in the design process. For every project, EVstudio uses 3D computer modeling to allow clients to preview and understand the project as a whole easily.
