Let us talk about your space

A designer plans how a space works before deciding how it looks. That means layout, circulation, lighting, storage and millwork first, then finishes, colour and furniture. On a renovation or new build it also means drawings and specifications the trades can build from.

It depends on scope. A single-room refresh, a full-home renovation and a new build from the floor plan stage are very different pieces of work. We scope each project and quote it before anything starts, so there is no open-ended hourly commitment.

Yes, and new builds are best started early. Coming in at the floor plan stage means lighting, storage and millwork can be resolved before framing, which is far cheaper than changing them later.

Yes. Alongside residential work the studio has completed office, institutional and community interiors, including a school and a community centre.

The studio is based in Coquitlam and works across Metro Vancouver, including Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge. Projects further afield are considered case by case.

We talk through the space, how you use it, what is not working and what the budget needs to cover. You leave with a clear view of the scope, the likely stages and what the studio would recommend doing first.
