Invigorating parks and project management.
- Budgets aren't a suggestion. We know you have worked hard to fund your parks and recreation projects. Thankfully at EVstudio, adhering to a budget does not mean limiting creativity. It is a catalyst for invention.
- Communication first, and always. We believe strongly in our personal connections with the team; in-person meetings and walking the project canvas is a must.
- Embracing what the land has to offer. We utilize terrain to provide economical, creative design knowing the land around us can provide unique solutions.
- Emphasizing green design. We blend environmentally friendly design with function. Incorporating stormwater treatment and rainwater into a design to meet and exceed city or county standards is our mission.
- Collaboration at every phase. As the project scope evolves, we are accustomed to blending structural, electrical, and architectural components into our designs.
