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 and the Fraser Valley, as well as Squamish BC.

3 spaces we appreciate about Horseshoe Bay.
Bowen Island Ferry.
Need an island retreat for the day? Whether it’s a jaunt through the village seeing the local art studios, or a hike up the mountain.
North Shore Spirit Trail.
While training for the Tour de Cure we have found some great cycling routes. Right off the Lions Gate Bridge is this great 35 km stretch that connects Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove. There are waterfront views of Coal Harbour, Ambleside, Stanley Park from the seawalls of both West and North Van
Whytecliff Park
Near Horseshoe Bay is this park overlooking Bowen Island, Howe Sound, and Gambier Island. It is a great destination for a picnic, strolling on the beach during low tide, and hiking. We found it a great destination when doing the North Shore Spirit Trail.
