Miles Design

Laurel helped us navigate working with the city (Vancouver), after we got a stop work order. We were not sure if we would be able to keep our covered deck (which we updated from an existing structure, not knowing the original structure was not permitted). Laurel's knowledge and connections were invaluable and she helped us understand what is important to the city and what is not. She has experience with our housing type (Vancouver Special). She prepared all the drawings, coordinated with engineers and contractors, prepared the board of variance application and attended the board of variance meetings with us. We won our case with the city, thanks to Laurel! She was very responsive to questions and a joy to work with. We would absolutely work with Laurel again!

Laurel of Miles Design was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was our architect and designer for our complete home renovation 2011/2012. We had a dated home with a dysfunctional layout and it was very dark with little natural light. Laurel completely transformed our home making it bright and very functional for our busy family of five. She was easy to work with and very professional with great attention to detail. She worked well with our contractor and all other trades working on the project, as well as being a great mediator and problem solver when tough decisions had to be made. We couldn't be happier with her work on this project and can whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an architect or designer for a project.
