About Us

Axis Architects was founded in 2014 by husband and wife, Shahnur Bostan and Elena Romero. With more than 20 years of experience at larger firms in the field of architecture, our vision was to create a boutique studio that allowed us to design at a more personal level, providing creative solutions at different scales for both homeowners and investors. The studio’s focus is centered around the individually unique challenges of every project, while understanding the economic and contextual constraints of architectural design and construction. Over the years, Axis Architects has grown into a talented team of designers and architects with various backgrounds and levels of experience. Together we work to create a positive studio environment where work-life balance is a priority.

We loved working with Axis on a recent whole-house renovation and highly recommend partnering with them for both architectural and interior design services. The whole Axis team was great through every step of the process, including collaboration with our builder, and we couldn't be happier with our finished home.

Axis Architects did a superb job of making our vision a reality. They created a living space that we absolutely love. My husband and I decided to enlarge our family home. We knew we couldn’t do it alone and began to search for local architects. We loved the photos we saw on Houzz that portrayed much of the work Axis had completed. The design we ended up choosing allowed us to keep some of the old blended seamlessly with a new relaxed living space. Our new space provides lots of room to entertain family and friends. The house is flooded with natural light. Large windows and clean lines make for an inviting, beautiful, and comfortable living space. Shahnur and Elena listened carefully to what we were looking for and delivered it in fine detail. We also used the design team to complete the interior details, so the house would come together and it was perfection. We are very thankful to have crossed paths with Axis Architects. They have created an extraordinary home that we will enjoy for many years to come.

Shahnur and Elena at Axis Architecture are a wonderful team! They are able to take your vision wall and turn it into the house of your dreams. They are responsive to input in revising the plans and patient when you try to explain something you don’t have the architectural words for. The architectural plans are detailed, comprehensive, and they passed the city review the first time. They always respond to email and have been a great help with navigating the “now we have the plans it’s time to actually build it” process.

The owners of Axis Architects, Elena and Shahnur, are top notch! We worked with them for almost a year in building our home and the entire time they were responsive, personable and understanding (as we changed our minds many times). They also provided awesome references for other part of the project that had nothing to do with design. Elena especially really took the time to work with us and made sure that we were happy with every detail. I highly recommend this architect company.

It was overwhelming to begin imagining new spaces in our nearly total home renovation. It was nothing but a pleasure to work with Axis Architects. They worked with us every step of the way. When we had to make adjustments to plans to stay within the budget they helped us figure that out too. We had a mudroom, office/den, new kitchen open to the dining room, master suite, and new bathroom. Contacting and working with Axis was the easiest part of this whole process and we highly recommend them.

It's been many years now that we've been working with Axis Architects on several different projects in Maryland to Washington, DC. We have a very good chemistry together. We work seamlessly to provide for the homeowners we work with. Thank you for many great collaborations...and some that have made it to publications! To many more!

I have worked with Elena and Shahnur on several of our latest projects in Washington, DC. They have patiently worked with our clients to explore the feasibility of the properties, taking the time to carefully explain the entire process, and they clearly demonstrate a collaborative client-architect relationship. I am greatly appreciative for all the help and knowledge they provide to all of my clients. I also love their vision for modern and minimalist design. I highly recommend them.

Axis Architects is so wonderful to work with! Very professional and attentive throughout your whole project. I worked closely with both Sahnur and Elena on a handful of projects in the DC area and every time I was pleased with their work. They are knowledgeable in their specifics areas and provided all of the tools and paperwork we needed to get our projects done beautifully and on time!

I have been working with Axis Architects on plans for a garage with a studio on the second floor for my home in Rockville. Shahnur and Elena are so creative and talented, it's such a pleasure to work with them. They are full service when it comes to planning, designing and delivering a finished set of permit drawings. As a general contractor, I refer them to all my clients. As a homeowner, I have really appreciated the time and personal attention they have given my project. Can't wait to add my pictures of the finished project! I highly recommend them for any size project.

Thank you Vanessa for your review. It has been a pleasure working with you. The garage and unit above is going to look great. We can't wait to see it built!

Anne Snouck-Hurgronje

Shahnur and Elena of Axis Architects did a wonderful job for us. They were so easy to work with and quickly produced and then fine tuned a design that met all of our wishes for ur new addition. They also priced their work very reasonably and worked with our contractor to make sure nothing got lost in translation.

Commented: What floor tiles did you use?Hi there. On this project the owner picked the tiles. It has been a while but if I remember correctly they got it from Home Depot or Lowe's. Can't recall the line.

Commented: What drawer pulls and knobs are used here and in what finish?Sorry for the late response. The drawer pulls and knobs are from restoration hardware, I cannot remember the exact model. The finish is chrome.
