This person lacks the credentials of an interior designer or an architect but is considered an expert in designing a project.

"Excellent workers, they left my house like new. Changed my floor, remodeled my bathrooms, I liked it because of their fast work. The kitchen was also remodeled and done very well. I recommended them to my neighbors, they worked well too!"

We are an Architecture + Development firm in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Our unique vision and passion comes from our understanding as Architects that we are all individuals and every space is personal. Eustilus has over 20 years of experience in the field of architecture and construction ranging in project size from multi-million dollar custom homes to mix-use developments of over two million square feet on three continents. These projects vary in architectural styles, with a particular focus on aesthetic integrity, structural adaptability, smart functionality, and sustainability. Being an Architecture firm is one thing. Being an Architecture firm where the founding principal has design/built three homes brings a greater understanding of staying within budget and finishing a project on time.

"I have dealt with many architects before and gotten what I thought was good service. However after dealing with Eustilus Architecture I now have a new bar by which to judge others. Whether it be dealing with me on my time frame, which was late at night lots of time due to my work schedule, or taking phone calls out of the blue because I had a sudden inspiration. Or dealing with my general contractor and making sure everything is being built to exact specifications, and on time, Eustilus Architecture has gone beyond what most people would even be willing to think of doing and they did it all with a smile on their face. My new home is almost complete and I wouldn t have been able to do it without them. And on top of all of that they can design ANYTHING! They designed my home with a pool on the roof! They dealt with my GC, concrete companies, structural engineering, the office of zoning, I mean everybody. I guess the best way to sum this up is that they have been so involved and helpful and professional that now my oldest daughter wants to become an architect. I m not sure there is a greater compliment that I could pay them then to know they influenced her."

Building design services FAQs

In most cities, you’re required to have a building permit in order to construct a pool house on your property. The exact type of permit varies by region—in some areas, it might cost as much as $2,700 to get the necessary permits, while other cities don’t require any permits for structures under 200 square feet.

If you’re building a custom pool house, you can expect the entire process to take two to three months from the design phase to the end of construction, or even as much as a year for very large or complex pool houses. If you’re installing a prefabricated kit or shed, the process is much faster—usually one to three days.

Most pool houses can range from 100 square feet to 800 square feet. Smaller pool houses are about 100 to 150 square feet, while a spacious pool house is at least 300 square feet.
