What is your project archetype?

There are a variety of ways we can redesign a home or workspace. Sometimes you want a renovation that can be accomplished in stages or a full home remodel, condo bathroom renovation or just a refresh to a living room.

Each are what we call a different archetype or type of project.

From our first discovery call to the final reveal, we will work closely with you to understand your preferences, style, and vision. We will take into account the project’s site conditions, your budget, and the available space to create a cohesive design that will transform your space into a beautiful, functional, and inspiring place you'll love spending time in.

Throughout our design process, we offer guidance on materials, colour schemes, and even furniture selection and window treatments.

Our virtual project consultations are a convenient starting point.

We also provide in-person consultations across Metro Vancouver
