Hatch Architecture Studio
Ewers Architecture practices sustainable design to create residential and commercial architecture that is beautiful, responds to the needs of the client, and can be built within the budget. Founded in 1998, we have created award-winning designs built upon the principles of green architecture, the Not So Big House, and New Urbanism.
Ewers Architecture provides the personal touch expected in a small firm – where our clients know all our staff (and our staff knows every client), where Peter Ewers is intimately involved in all phases of every project, and where our clients become our friends. We are proud that most of our projects come from repeat clients and word of mouth.
Our dedication to environmentally sustainable design also means that every project is an opportunity to explore the limits of sustainability. For some clients, this may be active solar with intricate controls, while for other projects this may simply mean passive solar aspects and educating the client to the many possible benefits of green architecture. Every project, though, in some way, reflects our commitment to saving the earth’s resources.
Sustainability encompasses a wide range of ideals. At Ewers Architecture we seek to apply as many of these sustainable ideas to each project, as they fit with the client’s desires, the site, and the budget.

Our process is firmly rooted in two steps: detailed conversations with our clients, and thorough investigations of the project site. These allow us to provide a unique architectural solution that fits you perfectly and is carefully tuned to your specific climate and location.
Throughout the creative process, We rely heavily on hand sketching and 3D computer modeling. With these primary mediums, we work quickly, present several options for you to consider, and empower you to understand and participate in all of the various design decisions.
We practice a systems-based approach to design to find the most sustainable solution within your budget. Drawing from the principles of building science in all of the results of our design in a warm, dry, non-toxic, durable, and energy efficient building. As often as possible our designs respond to the sun’s path, the prevailing winds, and a beautiful view.

We prioritize your needs, with exceptional energy performance, and long-term durability.
EV studio’s
EVstudio’s total integration of architecture and engineering is fairly unique in the design of custom homes. Most architects utilize consultants to design their structures. This means that the design of the structure comes after the design of the architecture which can lead to conflicts and additional expense in the structural design. Within our offices, the architecture and structure are designed together leading to solutions that are better integrated.
Many of our custom home clients ask about sustainable design. We design every project with sustainability in mind if nothing else for the savings in energy and a more livable design. Many of these decisions are made in the layout and siting of the home and carry no additional cost. Where there are additional costs to “go green” we tailor that to the desires of the client. For custom home design where you are interested in a green rating, EVstudio has designed a number of LEED projects as well as off-grid homes, and we’re familiar with your options.
