“EL Studio made our dream home come true!! They listened to every one of our ideas, likes and quirks, and got to know us and our family. As a result, we felt like they knew who we truly were, how we lived and what kind of home would complement us.” —A happy client

Q: What should prospective clients know about EL Studio? 

A: We are an award-winning architecture and design firm dedicated to experimentation, collaboration and advocacy. We specialize in innovative design within challenging constraints and eagerly tackle complex problems through research and testing. Our commitment to rethinking the standard uses of techniques and materials allows us to develop unique solutions for each project in collaboration with our design partners. We act as our clients’ advocates, addressing their current and future needs while promoting equitable and sustainable design. Our hands-on approach ensures that the spaces we design are not only visually appealing but also finely crafted and comfortable to live in.

Q: How do you measure success with your clients?

A: The highest measure of success we can imagine is building a sustaining relationship with a client—or a house! A notable example of this is a home in Arlington for which we completed several projects over the course of about five years, including a significant renovation and addition to the roof. Things were quiet for about eight years, but when the homeowners sold the property, they recommended us to the new owners who have now reached out to us to make further updates. This opportunity to revisit and enhance a past project with more improvements with a wonderful new client not only highlights the enduring quality of our work, but also the trust and confidence our clients place in us.
