We began Studio E with the idea that we could provide good design for everyone. For us, good design is environmentally responsible design that has an eye on cost and value. It's comfortable to live and work in while still maintaining the infamous architectural "clean lines." We embrace technology for what it can do for you, and not just for its own sake.
Say Hello, Let’s Work Together
We are located in southern Maine right outside of (the original!) Portland in Westbrook, Maine and have a satellite office in Norway, Maine. You can reach us at margaret@StudioEArchitect.com. Our mailing address is: P.O. Box 1385, Westbrook, ME 04092.
