EVstudio’s architects and engineers are the experienced, creative and strategic experts in residential home design.
EVstudio’s residential team has designed custom and production homes throughout the United States.
Our complete integration of design, architecture, and engineering is fairly unique in the design of homes. Most architects utilize consultants to design the home structure and engineering solutions. This means the structure design comes after the architectural design, which can lead to complications and additional expense. Within EVstudio, the architecture, engineering, and structure are designed together, which leads to solutions that are more holistically integrated.
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.

Craftsman in the City
Craftsman in the City

This quintessential craftsman home is the energy hub for the family. Designed to entertain and function for a large family, this home in the city provides ample storage and living spaces. The very traditional look is enhanced with a butler’s pantry, a three-car garage, and a great room for family gatherings. It was important for the owners to make use of their in-fill city lot, so the home placement to allow for amply backyard and driveway space was key. Finishes were modern and yet able to withstand continual use, which a growing family can bring. We are proud to have designed not only a home that met the needs of this family but also to provide a warm and inviting space for friends and extended family to enjoy as well.
