Architectural House Plans
and Designs

Our Design Process

 While the scope may be vastly different, the process is pretty much the same – other than performing a zoning search for an interior renovation. Our team has years of experience creating beautiful, functional homes that meet our client’s unique preferences. 

• Design Phase
  During this time together we want to get to know you and your family lifestyle. We’ll be asking you questions like:  Do you like entertaining? Are you downsizing? Are you looking for a home that will permit you do age gracefully and safely in your home?  Do you have children? Do you need a home office? Our Designers will find out all there is to know about you and your family as we conduct our on-site visit to assess your space and/or property. If you’re planning on expanding your home, or design a new home, we will be gathering all necessary zoning information to determine if there are any restrictions with the municipal by-laws. Then the fun begins as we design a space that resolves your current pain points and fulfills your wish list.
  

• Construction Drawings Phase
  

  Once you approve the floor plans and exterior elevations presented in the Design Phase, we’ll proceed with creating the detailed construction plans.  This is the most comprehensive of the three phases.  This includes verifying structural drawings and consulting with qualified HVAC, electrical, and pluming professionals to ensure everything is up to code and ready for construction.  During this time, we’ll also determine with you the finer details, like exterior cladding, landscaping, flooring material and layout, tiles and layouts, cabinetry, trim work, and paint colours, just to name a few.

From Architectural Design to Reality

Seeing the possibilities through design can be truly inspirational. Below is an example of a new space we designed and constructed for our clients.  To summarize the before, it was dark, divided, and a bit outdated.  Our clients wanted a home that was more open, brighter, and more relaxed.  By removing walls and installing support beams, the main floor went from four rooms down to two. While the new space is more open and much brighter, it still has the heritage feel the client wanted to maintain.
