With Principal William R. Edwards as Principal and Director of Design, originally licensed to practice architecture over twenty-five years ago, and bringing to the drawing board more than over thirty years of dedicated professional design experience, the EAC team has proudly played an integral role in the success of a wide range of project types on a local, regional and international basis.
EAC specializes in the creation of unique and beautiful custom homes and luxury estates, as well as mixed-use retail/commercial developments, boutique hotels, banks, corporate office headquarters, destination resorts, spas and salons as well as many other project types.
Principal Bill Edwards comes from an east coast, Washington D.C. area upbringing, and was blessed at a very early age with a love of architecture. With local design classes in both middle and high school, together with a two-year apprenticeship as a teen working for the president of the Potomac Valley Chapter of A.I.A. and with an ivy-league college education in architecture, Bill was equipped early in his youth to accomplish the successful design and implemention of many noteworthy regional residential, commercial, institutional and hospitality projects. His childhood home, work and travels afforded him a deep respect and appreciation for historic architectural preservation and restoration.
Bill apprenticed with some of the leading So-Cal architectural firms and became well-versed in west coast and regional design with projects such as luxury coastal California Rivera homes, master planning of theme and resort developments, major restaurant chains, financial institutions and recreational/entertainment venues.
After seven years of valuable experience in apprenticeship, it was time for Bill to venture out on his own, and to utilize his years of education and skills in the lead position of his own firm; hence EAC Planning + Design was ultimately founded. Now approaching more than 20 years young, the EAC team-with Bill as the primary point of client contact for each and every project, is pleased to have achieved the #1 Design award in 2009 for their local City community, as well as numerous regional and national awards and publications over the years.
Based in Newport Beach, CA, the EAC team has earned wide recognition for providing comprehensive Planning + Design services on a timely and cost effective basis to well-respected clientele, primarily on a repeat business and referral basis. EAC is blessed with talented project managers and designers, job captains, and the very best in front office administration and personality.
EAC consistently stands behind their motto of "providing unique design solutions for a small world" and thereby pledges the very finest in Planning + Design Services.
