Evan Vause, Architect, NCARB

Evan Vause founded Cypress Architecture & Design, Inc. in 2001. Today, he serves as the firm's principal and architect. Evan Vause has been in practice for over 18 years. His experience includes design for various project types, including: office buildings, university campus and educational buildings, restaurants, hospitality, industrial, municipal, multi-family and private residential. Focusing on modern design, with the goal of a lasting and timeless quality for all projects - this has been the drive of Evan's work since the conception of the design firm.

The challenge of both large and small projects have kept the office involved in all areas of design and have created unique opportunities. Emery's Bistro in downtown Henderson is an example of a carefully crafted building on a small lot. Designs for a 9 acre multi-use project in Las Vegas including office, retail, and living spaces (and a section for a pub crawl) show that larger and more complex projects are given special attention as well.

Evan Vause has had the distinction of being nominated by the City of Henderson City Council to serve on the committee of the Downtown Design Standards Steering Committee as well as serve for AIA as the Intern/Associate Liaison for the Florida Caribbean Regions. Evan is a licensed architect in the state of Nevada and graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Louisiana Tech University.
