Their blueprints were beautiful and thorough, and they were prompt, flexible, insightful, and creative on the fly when we had to adapt to the unforeseen this-and-thats of renovating a 98-year-old building. The whole experience was made possible and enjoyable by their skills and professionalism, and we couldn’t recommend END Studio more highly. It’s exciting to know that END Studio is doing what they’re doing in Detroit today, and I’m sure their contributions to the structures of this great city will serve its communities for many years to come.

We had the pleasure of working with Elise and END Studio on transforming an old mechanics garage/gas station/ barber shop into a vibrant and functional bar and cafe. It was no small feat — the building needed major work, and new issues and delays popped up often — but Elise and her team tackled it with creativity, skill, and professionalism.

Elise’s keen eye for detail and commitment to understanding our unique needs made the entire process a breeze. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend END Studio for any design project.

We LOVE the folx from END Studio! From day one, END Studio worked tirelessly to bring our vision for our bookstore and wine bar to fruition. With our first brick-and-mortar space, we felt incredibly overwhelmed having been so new to the process. Not only was their research thorough, but all of our many, many questions were addressed in a timely fashion and we were gently guided through the many layers of the permitting process. We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else and are grateful for all they have done for us.
