Built for real life in North Carolina.

We’re a Salisbury-based practice of architects, structural engineers, and interior designers. We put everyone under one roof so your build stays on budget and on schedule.

Our Story

One studio. Every discipline. No passing the buck.

We started Arvantis because we got tired of watching homeowners and business owners get stuck in the middle between independent architects and outside structural engineers.

When separate companies do your design and your engineering, simple changes turn into weeks of email chains and unexpected redesign fees. Here, the person sketching your floor plan works directly alongside the engineer sizing your foundation and the designer picking your finishes.

You get straight answers, realistic budgets from day one, and a building that gets built without contractor headaches.

Meet Steven Christopher Lund

Steven Christopher Lund founded Arvantis with a practical mindset: good architecture shouldn’t just look striking in photos—it has to be comfortable, durable, and priced honestly.

Steven has spent over 15 years guiding residential and commercial builds across the Carolinas. He stays directly involved in every client’s plans, working alongside county inspectors, builders, and trades to make sure what is drawn on paper translates cleanly onto the job site.

“Great architecture isn't about fancy buzzwords. It's about how natural light hits your living room, how quiet your bedroom feels at night, and knowing your builder has clear, accurate drawings from day one.”
— Steven Christopher Lund, Founder & CEO
