EVA COTMAN - ECA IS AN ARCHITECTURE OFFICE THAT COMBINES DESIGN, CONSULTING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT. WE GUIDE EVERY PROJECT FROM FIRST SKETCH TO FINISHED BUILDING.
Site Analysis & Consultancy
Before any design begins, we assess a site’s technical, legal, and spatial potential — topography, orientation, existing infrastructure, zoning restrictions, and development limits. This groundwork protects clients from costly surprises later and lays the foundation for a design that fits the site’s real possibilities.
For clients who haven’t yet found the right location, we help identify and evaluate potential sites — weighing development potential against budget, location goals, and long-term investment value.
Every project we take on is guided by one principle: a client should never have to manage the gaps between design, permitting, and construction themselves. We lead the full lifecycle of a project — start to finish — coordinating every phase and every specialist involved, so our clients deal with one accountable team throughout.
Project Management
We act as the single point of leadership across the entire project — from first site visit to final delivery. Rather than handing a client off between separate designers, engineers, contractors, and administrators, we coordinate all of them under one continuous strategy, keeping timeline, budget, and design intent aligned at every stage. For clients, this means one point of contact and one team accountable for the outcome, not a patchwork of disconnected specialists.
Real Estate & Development Consultancy
For clients who haven’t yet found the right location, we help identify and evaluate potential sites — weighing development potential against budget, location goals, and long-term investment value.
Concept Design
We translate a client’svision — and a site’s potential — into an initial architectural concept: spatial organization, form, and character. This is where strategy and design intent are set, forming the reference point for every phase that follows.
Project Documentation for Building Permit
We prepare the full technical documentation required to secure a building permit, managing coordination with engineers, consultants, and local authorities so the process moves forward without delay.
Construction Organization & Management
On site, we oversee construction to ensure the built result matches the design and documentation — coordinating contractors, managing timelines, and resolving issues as they arise. This is full project leadership in practice: one team accountable for how the design becomes reality.
Interior Design
We carry the same design language from architecture into interior spaces, delivering cohesive interiors — whether for a private residence, a hospitality project, or residential units intended for sale.
Preparation for Sales & Delivery
For developments intended for sale or lease, we prepare the project for market — from technical and marketing documentation to coordinating the handover process with future owners or tenants.
Land Registry Administration
We manage the legal subdivision of buildings into individually registered units and handle the associated land registry administration — the final administrative step that turns a completed building into legally registered, sellable, or occupiable property.
