What People Are Saying

Working with EA is always a pleasure. Rob and his team were very receptive to WFC teams needs during the development of the venue…It was a great process for our team to collaborate with EA, for best in class ADA improvements, bathrooms, concessions and premium amenities.

Ervin Architecture’s attention to detail is unparalleled. The care given to both form and function is truly amazing. All the while, their consideration for the client’s “wants” is what sets them apart. their vision of what “could be” is remarkable. We look forward to many more projects ahead.

The new Maine Savings Amphitheater is fabulous with a combination of box seats, seats on the field in front of the stage, and the standing-only lawn.

Angus King

US Senator

In consultation with our architect Ervin Architecture, it was important to use woods throughout the space since wooden canoes were the first canoes my family produced here. Our connections to Old Town Canoe inspired the name KANÙ.

Ervin Architecture is both a friend and colleague. As an architect myself, I bounce ideas off them all the time. They’re great collaborators, and their knowledge of architecture, codes, and design in general will be invaluable to anyone who hires them. I would recommend them without a moments hesitation.

HENRY LOUIS MILLER ARCHITECTURE

My wife and I worked with Ervin Architecture on the design, permitting, contractor selection, and construction of our new shore house on the Maine coast. The design and layout is both beautiful and efficient while providing us with a spectacular panoramic view of the Union River Bay and the hills of Mt. Desert Island (Acadia National Park). We receive compliments from all who visit.

ERIC BRENNAN​​

EA Client

As a technology contractor, I’ve worked with Ervin Architecture on 4 projects and have had positive experiences with each job. As a professional, I found EA to be a leader with very good communication skills and acutely aware of critical timelines. I also truly enjoy the unique style of his design; distinctive, clean and functional. My work with EA involved integration of technology for infrastructure, entertainment, sales and surveillance systems for the customer. After several years of working with Ervin Architecture, I can confidently recommend this company.

SERGE DRAGE​

The clinic, looks beautiful, inside and out, and it gives us great patient flow. In addition, the construction drawing production met a difficult moving deadline. Health Access Networks, wants to thank you and your company for an outstanding job.

I had the pleasure of working with Ervin Architecture in Portland, Maine, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Their attention to detail, innovative designs, and dedication to sustainability are impressive. They communicated effectively throughout the project, and their professionalism made the process enjoyable. Ervin Architecture’s commitment to client satisfaction is outstanding. I highly recommend them!
