A sincere thank you Bob for taking the time to post this review on my behalf. You and Jennifer were a pleasure to work with and the opportunity to collaborate with both of you on such a unique ravine property was one of a kind. I absolutely love how we were able to maintain the existing mid century modern feel of the building while seamlessly blend the addition and provide you and your family with the additional space you need. I am very excited to see how this all comes together whenever you decide to move forward with the construction. Until then, take care and all the best.

A very sincere thank you Mark for taking the time to post such a generous review, this is such a nice way to start the Thanksgiving long weekend. You were great to work with and I really appreciate the fact that you were so pragmatic when it came to the design development. Please continue to reach out as needed and stay in touch and I look forward to seeing the finished build.

A very sincere thank you Angela for taking the time to post such a kind and generous review on my behalf, it really means a lot to me. You were wonderful to work with and I am very grateful for having had the opportunity to collaborate with you on such an interesting project. Your relaxed and casual demeanor made every part of the process enjoyable and I really appreciate the thought and consideration you brought to the design development. I think the laneway suite is going to be incredible and I can’t wait to see the finished build. Thanks again for everything and take care!

A point of clarification for all potential readers; I am not an Architect, nor do I market myself as one. I am an Architectural Designer and registered BCIN. I know that sometimes the term Architect is unintentionally misused as a blanket descriptor for all professions that assist with the design of people’s homes. Nevertheless, I feel that it is important to make this point of clarification, primarily out of respect for every Architect that has achieved that designation.

Thank you so much Lee and Hailey for posting such a kind and generous review on my behalf, it really means a lot. You guys were such a pleasure to work with, your easy going nature and ability to make decisions really helped the process run smoothly. I also really appreciated your openness to new ideas and suggestions. I am so happy that we were able to recover from how things on your project started and now with everything in place for construction to finally begin I am really excited to see the build get underway. I know we’ll keep in touch as the project progresses and I look forward to seeing the finished results. Thanks again for such a wonderful opportunity to collaborate and all the best!

A sincere thank you Erin for finding the time to post this review. You and Jordan were great to work with and I thought the three of us collaborated really well on this project. I really appreciate how open you both were to my input and I think the final design is a great reflection of what each of us was able to bring to the project. You both have worked so hard and waited so long to design and build your forever dream home and I am grateful to have been able to help bring it to life and contribute. I am so excited to see the finished build, I am in the Beach frequently and will pass by it often. Take care and all the best!

A very sincere thank you Nick for taking the time to post this review. You and Tricia were wonderful to work with and I am grateful for having had the chance to collaborate with you both. I really enjoy the challenge of working on smaller homes (my own home is quite small) as it really pushes everyone to be creative and resourceful. With this in mind, I am thrilled that we were able to maximize the available space in the basement to allow you and the kids to enjoy the house for many more years to come. I can’t wait to see the finished build. Take care and all the best!

What a fantastic way to start 2024! Thank you so much Liam for taking the time to post such a generous review on my behalf. I very much appreciate the kind words, however, I can’t take all of the credit for the success of this project, you and Clare were also wonderful clients. Although new to the renovation world, your level of pragmatism, openness to ideas and general organization really allowed us to make headway fast and land on ideas that seem to resonate. Overall, I am so pleased at how smoothly the experience went and I am thrilled with the final outcome. I look forward to seeing the finished build and wish you and Clare all the best. Thanks again for the opportunity to collaborate!

A very sincere thankyou Francois for finding the time to post such a generous and kind review on my behalf. I know that with your young family and being right in the middle of construction, you have very little time as it is, and so the fact that you and Vanessa were able to write this review means a great deal to me and I am very grateful. You were both an absolute pleasure to work with and continue to be. You both had a clear idea of what you wanted to accomplish and even with the limitations of the existing building, I think that as a team, we were able to deliver on almost all of it. Seeing the house now come together during construction and the final vision start to materialize is quite remarkable and always reminds me of just how transformative the renovation process can be. Thank you again for the tremendous opportunity to collaborate with you both. Happy holidays and all the best to you and your family in 2024.

A very sincere thank you Adam for posting such a generous review on my behalf, I really appreciate it. Working with you over the years has been a fantastic experience for me and I am truly grateful for your openness to my ideas and your own creative vision. As a team, I think we were able to collaborate really well together and the end results have been stunning. For any Designer, having a client trust them with multiple projects over the years is truly the greatest compliment and for this I am also very grateful. Thank you again for the many opportunities in which to grow and develop my design capabilities and our collaborations together which helped to create a home and property that you and the family can enjoy for years to come. Looking forward to the next one, in the meantime, take care and all the best!

Many thanks Simon for taking the time to post this review, I know you guys are knee deep in construction right now, so it means that much more to me that you found the time. You and Meghan were a pleasure to work with; you were both exceptionally organized from the start and had a very clear vision of what you were looking to accomplish. Both of these elements combined to help this project move so effortlessly and efficiently. I love what you guys are doing to the house and can’t wait to see the finished build. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Thanks again and take care!
