We design creative contemporary houses with a European touch. We work closely with our clients to create site specific homes with a strong inside-outside connection. We know the impact architecture has. For better or worse, buildings last a long time, so we don’t go for quick and easy solutions. We care about our environment and try to make a difference, knowing the most sustainable buildings are those people love and want to take care of. A house that has your heart, is a home that will last. Some of our projects are very high-end, others have tight budgets. Some are compact others very large. Our focus is value–whether there is lot of money or time, or a little. We see each project as a creative challenge, in need of our complete dedication, design talent, and knowledge of building technology and the construction process. E3 is located in the former St. Stephens Church. Threatened with demolition, we’re giving this 100 year old historic building on Edmonton’s Church Street a second chance. We’re restoring, re-purposing and loving working under it’s vaulted roof and beautiful arches, being bathed by natural light. Inspiring us every day. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Remodeling - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Green Building - Universal Design - Historic Building Conservation - Basement Remodeling - Basement Design - 3D Home Design ### Areas Served - Calgary - Edmonton - Sherwood Park - St. Albert ### Typical Job Cost construction cost ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | E3 Architecture Inc | | Address | 10909 96 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T5H 2K4, Canada | | Phone | (780) 988-5228 | | Website | http://www.e3architecture.com | | Followers on Houzz | 152 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [E3 Architecture Inc](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/e3-architecture-inc-pfvwus-pf~1326405936) - **Website:** http://www.e3architecture.com - **Phone:** (780) 988-5228 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - several - see website - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2016–2019), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 6 reviews** ### All 6 reviews **★★★★★ — Neil & Allie Korpesio, June 2018** > Ernst and Eugene from E3 have been fantastic. They are always accommodating and are quick to communicate any issues that arise. Thank you for being amazing. **★★★★★ — viviwns, Sept. 2015** > Clever, calming, and collaborative are words that come to mind when describing the E3 experience. Ernst and Eugene designed a house that addressed my need for flexible spaces and my wife's love for the simple elegance of Scandinavian design. > > In addition to his eye for details, Ernst greatest skill is his ability to listen and provide introspective feedback. It is easy to find an architect that will design a house to a clients every whim; it is harder to find an architect that can help you discover the boundaries of what to live within. The end result of our collaboration was a house design that did not feel overworked at all. > > If you didn't look for him you might not even notice Eugene working away in their lovely reclaimed church office space. Eugene is the yin to Ernst's yang. Although he is quiet and reserved when he does speak his words are filled with resources and insight. Simply put, he is the guy you call for help when you have nobody else to call. > > Finally, anyone that has ever been involved with an infill project will tell you how it can be a demanding and stressful time. Between choosing finishes, setting up budgets, or dealing with the odd neighbor there are always a bunch unforeseen complications. The one thing about E3 that I appreciated the most was how calm they were navigating through complicated zoning bylaws, dealing with hard to reach city officials, and discussing technical obstacles in layman's terms with us. With so much emphasis on timelines and juggling trades nowadays it was nice to know that with E3 everything is going to be ok. > > I highly recommend using E3 for your dream home. **★★★★★ — bdoon, Sept. 2015** > My wife and I really enjoyed working with Ernst and the team at E3. Ernst is very talented and was able to find beautiful and practical options when faced with budget or building code constraints. Ernst also listened to our ideas and worked collaboratively with us. The result was a home that we all loved. **★★★★★ — Bobb Robb, Aug. 2015** > E3 came recommended from another client and our builder, and designed our custom home literally from the ground up. We had been having great difficulty finding a unique design to fit our needs on a ravine lot. In a short period of time, they came up with a plan that absolutely ticked all of our boxes in a contemporary design. Specifically we had wanted to maintain a connection with the ravine and the natural views it provided in as many spaces as possible, and the resulting design has been awesome. > > Ernst was always positive, available and responsive. He was great with meeting deadlines and in assisting us decisions that needed urgent last minute consideration. We hadn't initially thought about enlisting the help of an architectural firm but realistically, enlisting the services of E3 was the best decision we have made in the building process. **Comment from E3 Architecture Inc:** > It has been wonderful to work with you and create your beautiful new modern home together. Connecting the inside with the outside is important to us. It brings so much extra quality to the interior of our homes if daylight fills the house and the views are framed well by strategically placed windows. And of course easy and direct access outside! We can't wait to complete our work together with a toast on your stunning rooftop patio! **★★★★★ — mark\_knoll, Aug. 2015** > Tranquil--that is perhaps the best avenue by which I can describe our home that has been mindfully designed by Ernst Von Meijenfeldt, from E3 Architecture Inc. Our home is perfectly balanced and offers a tremendous hideaway, an ideal sanctuary at the end of a busy day. > > From our initial meetings with Ernst, right through to the final drawings, my wife and I feel that Ernst carefully listened to our needs--and delivered with uncompromising style. Ernst took the time to study the neighbourhood, ensuring the house both fit in and stood out--an interesting paradox in itself--and helped us to create a stunning modern interior that leaves our guests speechless. > > To say the least, we are very pleased with our home and would gladly recommend E3 Architecture Inc. to anyone who might be considering a project, be it commercial or residential. Ernst and his team are professionals that deliver exceptional design. **Comment from E3 Architecture Inc:** > Dear Mark and Tonny, > Thank you so much for your review. We enjoyed working together with you on your house, and like you we are very proud of the result. Yours was our first house in Calgary and we are looking forward to many more :-) > On behalf of our team, thanks again for your heartfelt review, Ernst von Meijenfeldt **★★★★★ — scrosley, March 2015** > Ernst and Eugene have been fabulous and we are really excited to start building the house Ernst has designed. We asked for a contemporary design that took into consideration the unique opportunities our lot would allow and the house has all the features and design elements we wanted with some great surprises that Ernst was able to incorporate. **Comment from E3 Architecture Inc:** > Dear Stuart and Lorri, > It is a pleasure for us to work with you! Our design process has been a creative and productive cooperation and we can't wait to start the construction process in spring! > Thanks so much for your review, Ernst ## Selected projects - [Contemporary - Windermere Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-windermere-residence-pj-vj~1263223) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 24 - Description: Contemporary 1.5 storey house with a walk-out; spacious, luxurious and filled with daylight - [Modern - River Valley Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-river-valley-residence-pj-vj~2109841) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 20 - Description: Large high-end modern residence overlooking the North Saskatchewan River and the River Valley Park system - [Modern Ravine Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-ravine-residence-pj-vj~2093919) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 12 - [Contemporary - Shah Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-shah-residence-pj-vj~993964) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 13 - Description: Modern open plan house on Mill Creek Ravine - [Modern - Caouette Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-caouette-residence-pj-vj~993916) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 8 - Description: Modern high-end house on the River Valley with a walk-out - [Compact Modern - G&G Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/compact-modern-gandg-residence-pj-vj~695513) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 17 - Description: Compact modern house in a desirable mature neighborhood; open floor plan, split level and with a stunning rooftop patio - [Contemporary - Lessard Villas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-lessard-villas-pj-vj~1376216) - Location: Edmonton, AB - Photos: 12 - Description: Lessard Villas is a community of 42 customized adult residences.
