Who we are

Tabernacle Architecture and Design was founded in 2024 by Evan Bourff, a licensed architect and seasoned design professional with nearly two decades of experience in the architecture, construction, and development industries. As Lead Architect and President of the firm, Evan brings a deep understanding of the full project lifecycle—from concept through construction—paired with an expert command of building codes, technical coordination, and digital tools that support efficient, high-performing project delivery.

Evan’s professional journey began in 2005 and has been defined by a commitment to delivering design excellence with integrity and purpose. Since becoming a licensed architect in 2015, he has led numerous multifamily, student housing, and mixed-use developments across the country. His belief in the value of hands-on expertise and daily involvement in project details is what led him to establish Tabernacle Architecture and Design—to provide clients with consistent leadership, smart solutions, and elevated design outcomes grounded in constructability.

At its core, Tabernacle exists to serve. We are a service-oriented practice guided by biblical principles of stewardship, collaboration, and care. We partner closely with private developers and stakeholders to transform their vision into the built environment, ensuring every project is contextual, well-coordinated, and thoughtfully executed. Our strength lies not only in design, but in our ability to cultivate strong relationships and maintain a collaborative spirit from start to finish.

Through each project, we aim to honor our clients’ goals, enrich the communities we design for, and advance the architectural profession by building with both excellence and purpose.
