Services We Offer

Architectural Design Services

From first concepts through technical documentation, East Spruce offers architectural services for residential, commercial, and specialty projects.
Need help deciding where to start? Book a consultation and we will help identify the right path.

New home design for primary residences, vacation homes, cabins, and other ground-up residential projects. We emphasize thoughtful layouts, site response, and long-term livability — designing spaces that work for how you actually live.

Additions, major reconfigurations, and improvement projects that build on an existing home or structure. Our focus is on fit, function, and continuity with the existing building — making the new feel like it was always there.

When design and construction are led by the same team from the start, better decisions happen earlier. East Spruce’s design-build approach keeps architecture at the center of every build decision. Best fit for clients seeking integrated guidance from early design through build execution.

As a Certified Passive House Consultant, East Spruce brings building science rigor to every project — not as a premium add-on, but as the baseline. Whether you are pursuing PHIUS certification, LEED, or simply want a home that performs at the highest level, we design for comfort, durability, and radically low energy use.

Architectural design support for multifamily housing, retail spaces, restaurants, and other commercial environments. We bring the same design rigor and client collaboration to commercial work that defines our residential practice.

Architectural renderings and visual communication assets to help clients, boards, or stakeholders understand the design direction. From early concept sketches to photorealistic presentations.

Consulting

Consulting Services

Whether you are a homeowner exploring options or a professional seeking building science expertise, East Spruce offers consulting services tailored to where you are in your project.

We will visit your home, assess your space, and provide actionable recommendations — whether that leads to a full architectural engagement, a contractor referral, or simply the clarity you need to move forward. A consultation fee applies and is credited toward any larger project.

Building-science-informed consulting for project teams seeking standalone advisory on performance strategy. We help architects, engineers, and contractors improve comfort, durability, and return on investment through better design decisions.

Whether you are pursuing Passive House certification through PHIUS, LEED, or a regional green building program, we guide projects through the full certification process — from design targets through testing and verification.

We assess building envelopes for thermal performance, air-tightness, and moisture management — including hygrothermal analysis using WUFI. Our energy analysis identifies where investment delivers the greatest return in comfort, durability, and operating cost reduction.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

Start with a conversation. We will help you figure out the right path.

Design Consultation

Start with a free project feasibility call to see if we are the right fit. We provide paid consultation for early guidance on vision, feasibility, budget, schedule, and next steps. Consultation fee can be credited toward a larger project.

Pre-Design & Feasibility

Early-stage planning support including project definition, siting considerations, high-level scope, and feasibility analysis before full design begins.
