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.
Residential Overview
A partnership with EVstudio brings your project to a new level.
- Floor to ceiling. Working with you through every step we ensure every space meets your needs now and into the future.
- Create the right choice of systems. Based on decades of combined experience, we optimize structural (traditional, SIPs, and ICF systems), mechanical, and electrical systems for efficiency and functionality.
- Sustainable design options. Sustainability is not merely a talking point. We believe in providing a home, and you can enjoy in any climate while honoring green practices.
- Breadth of experience yields better solutions. Our residential specialists have experience in many other project types offered by EVstudio, which affords us knowledge with the latest in materials, technologies, and systems not typically available at a residential only design firm.
- Investment homes as a speciality. Our residential specialists bring a depth of experience with investment homes such as speculative home construction as well as fix and flips. We understand the budgetary impacts of design and work to achieve the financial goals for the project.
