The EVolution Studio is a dedicated team of professionals within EVstudio, an integrated architecture and engineering firm. Modular design was once a small offering for EVstudio, but the service has quickly grown into a thriving studio with a team motivated by the intricacies of off-site construction design. With their EVolution Design Playbook and experienced team, the studio consistently delivers successful projects.
Founded by Dean Dalvit, principal at EVstudio, the Modular Studio initially formed in partnership with a key client, a modular factory. This collaboration formed a playbook and best practices. Last year, the studio rebranded to the EVolution Studio, organically growing to stand on its own and offer its own services and products hyper-focused on off-site construction.
At the core of EVolution Studio’s methodology is a tool that paves a clear path for designing modular and off-site construction projects. This tool, known as the EVolution Design Playbook, is a comprehensive guide crafted by Dalvit and his team. It empowers the studio to consistently approach design “from the inside out,” a fundamental philosophy in modular construction.
The driving force behind EVolution Studio’s success is its exceptional team composition. The studio brings together two distinct groups: existing EVstudio employees who have demonstrated excellence in their respective disciplines and have a deep hunger for integrating new technologies into design, and new team members who are proven experts in this field. The blend has pushed the studio to do more for more clients in a very quick amount of time.
EVolution Studio’s mission is to help create better buildings, faster, in an era characterized by burgeoning demand. While the studio excels in designing for manufacturers, it also collaborates with developers and municipalities, offering comprehensive solutions beyond design to help solve housing and building issues. Furthermore, the team actively consults with modular factories, optimizing their performance and enhancing their efficiency.
One of EVolution Studio’s most significant achievements is its role in addressing the demand for affordable housing. Leveraging off-site construction methods, the studio has played a pivotal role in delivering cost-effective, high-quality housing solutions. Recognized by the state of Colorado, the studio’s work highlights its critical role in supporting affordable housing initiatives.
