Tepees Office & Retail Building
Tepees Office & Retail Building

The Tepees Office Building is located in Evergreen, Colorado, and home to multiple offices and retail tenants, including Honka Log Homes. Honka is a high-end luxury log manufacturer and the concept behind the Tepees building. This unique office building was crafted to match the image of the primary tenant Honka and the surrounding mountainous area.
EVstudio is the preferred designer for Honka homes in the area, so it was only natural that we designed the office as well. The office building is warm and inviting while showing off the features of Honka logs. A truly unique business environment.

Daniel Diamonds
Daniel Diamonds

Daniel Diamonds is a fine jeweler in Evergreen, Colorado, who utilized our retail design experience for their TI. First and foremost for all retail stores, and especially for a jewelry store, the quantity and quality of direct lighting is extremely important in showcasing the products. With a unique and efficient layout tailored to the specific operations of the client, EVstudio designers studied the appropriate color rendition of the lighting and the use of general and high-intensity lighting to create both a comfortable atmosphere within the store as well as highlighting the product. We also made a complete inventory of existing and new casework that would be arranged within the store. For this plan, we decided to break up the store into distinct neighborhoods, identifying them with ceiling treatments and breaks in the circulation within the store. It was also very important to the program to create a space within the store that was informal and relaxing to spend time for both customers and staff. We integrated a sitting area complete with a fireplace and fully functioning wet bar that is also used during special events. It was our goal for this as a boutique retail jewelry shop to accommodate the sense of shopping as an event to be enjoyed, rather than simply a process. We did this through the careful design of the space which earned a design award from a leading jewelry industry magazine after the grand opening.
