EastWing Architects

My wife Jenn and I still can't believe that the building we now live in, is our home! It perfectly captures our why and represents so much of who we are and more importantly who we desire to be. East Wing Architects, and Evan Wivell, are the reason behind that. Evan was present throughout our journey and served as an inspiring guru, the technical craftsman, the sherpa to get things done, and sometimes the laggard holding things up (have to be honest here). He was an excellent companion for building our home! In less abstract terms: East Wing has impeccable design taste. In the short few months we have been here (moved in Sept 2022)the home has already taken people's breath and words away, and we are still putting it together :) East Wing knows how to get a project done. They shepherded us through historic design review, city permits and an arduous construction process. East Wing is capable of building relationships. They connected and communicated with us, our builders, the tradesman and even our neighbors/friends throughout. East Wing embraces challenges. They navigated complex situations connect 150 year old structure to brand new construction. East Wing is human. Evan is grounded and easy to connect with. He is also building a business and at times slowed some of our ability to act. But he owned his shortcomings and never left us utterly hanging. If I have learned nothing else through our project it is that construction,particularly of something as emotionally filled as a home, is an incredibly complex process. It is hard to imagine a better person/firm to have along for the harrowing adventure than East Wing and Evan.

It could have been better if they have accuracy, deliver a service with timely manner. However, communication also needs to be improve

We truly enjoy working with EastWing Architects. Evan is such a professional and a pleasure to collaborate with on projects. He is a creative visionary and problem solver- providing clients with stunning results. Looking forward to the next project!

We hired EastWing Architects because from the very first meeting Evan Wivell listened carefully, gave really creative feedback right away, and looked at our renovation in a different way than others we had met. During the planning and the remodeling of the second floor of our house, Evan proved to be attentive to detail and always full of ideas. We would highly recommend EastWing Architects.

EastWing Architects were great to work with. Evan has lots of great ideas, but is willing to listen to our thoughts. We would use him again.

Evan worked closely with me to take my vision and make it a reality. Through the design process, he listened to my wants and needs for my renovation and was able to successfully fit everything in a small 12' wide rowhome without sacrificing functionality. The existing space was built in 1919 and design had to overcome challenges of blending old with new. Evan did a fantastic job creating an open concept even with the design constraints. He worked directly with the city to get the necessary permits and helped expedite the approval process.

Evan is a pleasure to work with. We followed his design for remodeling our kitchen & I am so pleased with how it’s turning out. Reading abstracts is new to me so I had many questions & Evan patiently answered & re-answered them. His ideas are good but if you have any concerns, he is amenable to make changes. His enthusiasm for his work makes this dreadful process almost fun!

Evan has been great to work with! He recently went out on his own to build his own business after years of relevant educational training and experience with larger arch. firms. Evan is very strong with all forms of communication and has been as involved as we would like all along the way. I am a stickler for attention to detail and Evan is very quick to accept and make changes if any mistakes are noticed along the way. We would highly recommend Evan for his architectural design work.

East Wing Design + Build has made our long distance remodel of a home in Baltimore as easy as could be imagined. Actually easier! The work that's been done is of the finest quality and we feel very confident that the continued work they are doing will be just as wonderful. Very knowledgeable, skilled and beyond trustworthy.
