Bethlehem, PA · Serving PA & NJ · Est. 2018
East Spruce is a licensed architecture and design/build studio serving homeowners and developers across the Lehigh Valley, Poconos, and New Jersey.
Projects can fall apart in the gap between design and construction. East Spruce closes that gap by leading both – from the first sketch to the final walk-through.
When you work with our design / build team, you get:
• A unified group of professionals with total accountability.
• Smart design baked in from day one, not applied at the end.
• Clear budget control and clearer communication.
High-performance Trough Creek retreat · 2024
Unlike general contractors, we are trained designers and bring that thinking to every step. Siting, light, proportion, and sustainability are decisions made at the start — not afterthoughts.
You have one team responsible for design and construction. No finger-pointing between your architect and your builder. Everyone is working towards the same goal.
We do not offer a ‘green option.’ Every project starts with high-performance building science baked in. Lower energy bills and a smaller footprint are not extras — they are the baseline.
Elliot Nolter is a licensed architect in PA and NJ, a Certified Passive House Consultant, and a Sustainable Homes Professional. Our credentials are specific and verifiable. We work with the best builders and craftsmen.
We will tell you honestly if we are not the right team for your project. The consultation is designed to give you real value whether we work together or not.
Our goal is not to design something for the moment. Trends move fast. Our homes are designed to be loved for a lifetime. That requires different decisions at every stage.
We’re developing a library of plan sets, guides, and tools for homeowners and design professionals. Be first to know when they launch.
