EASA Architecture (formerly The Ellis A. Schoichet AIA Design Studio) specializes in providing creative architectural design services with unwavering attention to detail in design, service, and execution.

Each EASA Architecture project consists of a unique combination of Client needs, desires, program requirements, and site specifics. In every case EASA Architecture works tirelessly to reveal the opportunities that arise from this singular convergence of Client, Project, and Site. EASA Architecture operates on the premise that these opportunities will be the foundation from which a successful design solution will rise. For us there is no such a thing as a "typical" client or a "cookie-cutter" project.

Our goal is to achieve the highest possible level of design quality and responsiveness as we provide services tuned specifically to our Client's individual needs.
