Since starting my business in 2006, I’ve had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients both locally and nationally. By using telephone, e-mail, and courier services, clients everywhere receive a high level of personal attention, quick completions, and the opportunity to participate fully in the evolution of their home design. Projects have varied in size from tiny cabins of 500 to 5,000 squ

are feet and more, and single family homes to multi-family homes and subdivisions. Regardless of the scale or type of project, the focus remains on the clients- their needs, budgets and lifestyle -and on striving to integrate the homes into their surroundings with passive design solutions and step code compliancy.

APU I've been head down creating a dozen projects this year. Which leads me to a confession…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've only shared about 5% of our work 🤦🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a prospective client recently ask if I've done any projects in his area. "Yes, I've done about 5 within walking distance from your home, including the one directly across the street from you."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It dawned on me that I have been doing-the-work without sharing-the-work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's change that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is a home I designed 14 years ago in that same area. With gorgeous vaulted ceilings throughout and floor-to-ceiling glazing towards to private wooded yard and peek-a-boo ocean view. 🌲🌊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And yes, that classic cedar siding still looks that damn good after all those years.

Take a guess.. New Home or Renovation?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favourite renovation / addition project to date.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The right side of the home - renovated with a new modern timbered front porch out the front and extended dining, indoor/outdoor kitchen, and vaulted master suite with private balcony out the back.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The left side of the home - extended forwards for an extra large garage and workbench. Above, a balcony off the newly renovated entertainment loft complete with pool table, bar, and lounge overlooking the new 2-storey living room.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Floating stairs, baby grand piano, 3-way fireplace and glass wine room are just some of the amazing features added to this incredible renovation 🍷🎹

Making sure every room gets a view ⛰👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With a view like that, every room should get one... the great room, kitchen, dining, loft, rec. room, 3 bedrooms, the balcony spanning from one end to the other... And the deck over the garage? Yeah, there's a view from there too.

Modernized with charcoal, concrete, cedar + timbered awnings 😎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your home is replicated multiple times in your town, all you want is something a little different. Enlarged entry, covered front door, lit access, planter boxes and curb appeal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With only a few feet to work with - We got it.

🗞 Are you a stock plan or custom plan person?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, stock plans are making a comeback (I mean, have you seen ours? 😉), but most are generic and it shows. I'll give you a little story to explain what I mean.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was given 2 projects by the same developer in one year. The first I was given complete control to get creative within the budget ✔️ and checklist parameters ✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it did take some time to get creative and design something a little more outside of the box, for design #2 they decided they wanted to speed things up and keep it overly simple. Generic. Which is fine, but…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it came time to sell, the creative home sold within weeks, if not days, while the generic home lasted for months on the market.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Generic might have sped up the design time, but it did not intrigue, inspire and give you all those homey feelings you’re looking for 🥰 There may be a homeowner or two looking for simple, generic, I-just-need-a-home kind of a home, but if you break out of expected patterns and get a little creative, only good can come from it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This home is your blank slate. What will you decide?

In a hurry? Get your plans in a click 📲
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stock plans are an incredibly quick and cost-effective way to get a home design, but the web is oversaturated with out-dated boring designs and cookie-cutter floor plans. And, most are not permit ready because they don’t comply with today's high standard building codes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is why we’ve created a collection of custom designs that are unique, modern, and suited for today’s homeowners. Some plans were a previous custom design, built, lived-in, and loved, while others are unique, 1-of-a-kind, never been built plan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All plans are completely customizable, up-to-date with an advanced building code (BCBC 2018), and only 4-steps away from applying for permits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
