About Eimer Design
Connecting People Through Design.
Eimer Design is more than an architecture firm. We are a close-knit studio of architects and designers dedicated to creating innovative, experiential spaces.
Our studio mindset cultivates the kind of creativity you’d expect from a big shop, with the efficiency of a small one. We are passionate about designing and developing spaces that create an experience.
The projects we work on are ones that people interact with every day. Our small, collaborative environment allows us to work quickly, increase effectiveness, and provide higher value to our clients. The result? Thoughtfully designed and engaging spaces.
Our team works hard to represent every partner thoroughly and thoughtfully, providing design expertise every step of the way. These relationships have become the foundation of our creative process, ensuring that each project is executed seamlessly from start to finish.
Studio Team
Ed Eimer, AIA NCARB
As President of Eimer Design, Ed oversees quality control, design and client relations. Ed also happens to be the creative force behind each project. He combines imagination with a commitment to constantly improving Eimer Design’s services and finished products.
Ed’s role is to understand our Client’s needs on a business level and help transform them into physical space solutions with the Studio Team. He is personally responsible for scheduling, creative solutions, design critiques, budget analysis and maintaining Client satisfaction.
Ed has a unique ability to conceptualize design solutions that integrate with both the Client’s needs and budgets. His balance of pragmatism and creativity is best displayed in the early stages of project conceptualization, where he leads the design team’s development of initial design solutions and strategies. His deep understanding of a wide variety of building and space types, structural systems, Code manipulation strategies and development factors for rehabilitation and new construction allows the Eimer Design team to quickly evaluate strategies and refine a focus that leads to success.
Ed graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Spring Garden College in 1991, earned his professional Architectural Registration in 2000 and received his NCARB National Architectural Certification in 2010. Ed currently holds professional licenses in 15 States.
Ed joined AP3C Architects in 1993, became a partner in 2000 and functioned as Managing Partner from 2010-2012. In 2012, Ed left AP3C to launch Eimer Design. Since that time, Ed has grown the Studio from a four-person team to a full service 12-person architectural and interior design studio with a diverse range of projects over a large section of the U.S.
Under Ed’s direction, Eimer Design has provided Designer and Architect of Record services for projects in over 100 cities and more than 40 states, Canada and the Middle East. In that time Eimer Design has built extensive food and beverage experience, creating 200 projects in a wide range of space types including fine dining, polished casual, fast casual, coffeehouse, kiosks and food halls. Ed and the Eimer Design Team have designed more than 100 restaurants and more than 100 food halls across the United States.
