Born in Missouri and raised in Texas, Shawn relocated to the Delaware coast from San Francisco, CA in order to complete his first project, The Phillips House, and went on to found the Shawn Ewbank Design Collaborative, currently based in Lewes, DE.

He completed a B.B.A. in finance at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin and holds an M.Arch from the San Francisco Institute of Architecture, where he was privileged to learn from pioneers of the ecological design movement and spend three consecutive summer courses living and studying at the Frank Lloyd Wright School at Taliesen West, outside of Scottsdale, AZ.

His practice is guided by the idea that Architecture and Art represent a kind of language that goes beyond aesthetics and can both reflect and guide patterns of response (physically and metaphysically), in individuals and societies alike. He undertakes the art of architectural design and planning, from concept to implementation, towards refining this language in service of those who may come to interact with the spaces we design.

Shawn’s intention is to sustainably create habitable artworks for the human spirit that uplift the dignity and creative power of the individual while bringing to the surface a sense of connectedness with the larger phenomenon of space and environment in a way that affirms the desire to conceive a more beautiful way of being.

This dedication to architecture that explores the link between the human condition and the built environment is strongly influenced by his interest and study of consciousness and the human spirit, ecological design principles and the arts.
