Inspired ideas that become elegant realities. Endrestudio transcends the traditional boundaries between architecture and engineering, designing buildings whose craft and detail spring from an intimate understanding of materials and fabrication. The architecture we create conveys a sense of place, and a deep connection between structure and space.

An Endrestudio building expresses the distinctive combination of its client, function, materials, and location. Its apparent simplicity overlays an integrated design process and sophisticated use of materials. Endrestudio is founded on the modernist tradition that tectonics- the material, detail, and structure of a building- is central to the design process. Whether a glass bridge or a post-tensioned cable-net tower, our projects explore the limits of each material in the design and the details that allow it to perform well over the course of its life.

Our unique studio, with individuals trained in both architecture and engineering, facilitates an integrative design process where users, technology, energy use, and good design are considered from the outset. Integrated design can increase overall building performance by providing clients with detailed solutions to often complex multi-dimensional problems.

We will provide excellent service, design quality, creativity, and reliability, while caring for the environment and our community. Internally, we will nurture the individuals in our firm, building on our success and our shared knowledge and values. With LEED Accredited Professionals on staff and LEED certified buildings in our portfolio, Endrestudio is committed to providing leadership in sustainable design practices. Our design studio has incorporated sustainable design solutions for the past two decades and we continue to practice green design strategies in our public projects and private residential work. We strive to bring sustainable solutions to all of our projects to meet our client’s aspirations and the needs of the community as a whole.
