Our Story

At East Side Studio Architects, we're passionate about creating spaces that tell stories, foster community, and connect us to the world around us. As a firm, we've had the privilege of working with clients who share our enthusiasm for design that inspires and delights.

Who We Are

Founded by Julia Miner, AIA, our studio is built on a foundation of creativity, expertise, and a deep understanding of the power of architecture to shape our daily lives. Julia's journey as an architect began in her childhood, where she spent hours constructing creative projects and exploring the beauty of the built environment. After completing her education at Yale University, Julia gained valuable experience working for esteemed design firms in Connecticut, New York, and Boston. Her passion for architecture led her to open her own office, where she has nurtured a team of talented professionals who share her vision.

Our Services

At East Side Studio Architects, we specialize in providing comprehensive architecture, planning, interior design, and historic preservation services. We take pride in understanding our clients' unique needs and translating their visions into beautiful, functional spaces that enhance their quality of life. Our portfolio spans across residential and commercial projects, with a focus on high-end residential, senior living, and hospitality. We're adept at balancing historical preservation with modern functionality, ensuring that every building whispers its story to those who inhabit it.

Our Approach

We believe that architecture should inspire, connect, and nurture its occupants. To achieve this, we adopt a patient, collaborative approach that distills the essence of each project's unique story. This involves:

1. Understanding your needs: We take the time to listen, asking the right questions to clarify your design goals and the lifestyle you envision for yourself.

2. Crafting the narrative: Working closely with you, we translate your aspirations into a compelling, functional design that reflects your personality and values.

3. Distilling the essence: We distill the conceptual framework into a beautiful, efficient art form, much like crafting a well-crafted poem.

4. Bringing it to life: Our expertise ensures that the final product exceeds your expectations, providing a harmonious, stylish, and sustainable space that reflects the true essence of your vision.

Notable Projects

We're proud to have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, each with its unique story and challenges. Some notable examples include:

1. Farmhouse Renovation & Addition: A stunning example of our ability to restore a historic farmhouse, carefully updating modern necessities while preserving its original character.

2. Georgian Renovation: A remarkable transformation of a 19th-century Georgian-style home, where we skillfully integrated modern amenities while maintaining its architectural integrity.

3. Adobe Restoration: A remarkable example of our historic preservation expertise, where we restored a 1932 Edward L. Jones House in Arizona, a Mediterranean-pueblo style masterpiece that earned the Arizona Governor's Award in Historic Preservation.
