About the studio

Rooted on the Maine coast, designing across the nation.

Gavin Headshot

Gavin Studer lives near the seacoast of Southern Maine with his wife and four boys. He enjoys spending time in nature with his family — whether it’s a day at the seashore, kayaking on the lake, or biking in the woods — seeking quiet places to rest, reflect, and recharge before providing his clientele with solutions that go above and beyond what they thought was possible.

That same instinct for a place’s character shapes every project the studio takes on: architecture that starts from the site’s own regulations, light, and history, rather than imposing a style onto it.
