Featured Reviews for Vancouver Architects

John Henshaw Architect Inc.
Vancouver Architects
8June,2012
“John Henshaw Architect is a team of highly professional architects and designers. They will take the extra step and go beyond what is expected of them. In result, projects are always stunning, innovative and timeless. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who is looking to build a home or improve the interior design of an existing space.”
Open Interiors Inc
Vancouver Architects
15October,2019
“I have worked with Julene on 3 separate projects and she never ceases to deliver. She is my go-to for design and prep work when I am building. She has designed and executed two commercial spaces for me, and is now working on my custom home. I have recommended her to many people because of how much trust I have in her capabilities.”
babienko ARCHITECTS pllc
Vancouver Architects
10April,2014
“After hearing countless horror stories about the remodel and construction process, I have to say that architect Jeff Babienko and his team at bARC have made the journey better than we could have ever imagined. His approach, vision, professionalism and attention to detail are nothing less than top notch. Babienko has a very thorough up-front exploration process that we thought a bit excessive, but discovered that it is this very process that allows him to steward the project with all the nuances of "feel", aesthetic and functionality that we were after with the remodel. While we forgot certain elements of what we wanted along the way, he and his team did not. It was amazing! The entire journey was a very collaborative, seamless and an entirely transparent process. His expertise as the interface with the construction team was invaluable and we can't imagine having done it any other way. We won't work with anyone else!”
sensitive design inc.
Vancouver Architects
7April,2013
“Susanne Doise has worked for us as a designer and project manager, introducing contemporary ideas and good space solutions always with her touch of European flavor . We enlarged and modified the interior and exterior of the second floor of a 50 year old house into an open space concept mostly in the dining, sitting and kitchen area as well as the Master Bedroom quarters. Overall good work, within budget and complete understanding of our needs and lifestyle.”
Garret Cord Werner Architects & Interior Designers
Vancouver Architects
26March,2014
“When I was looking into renovating my condo, I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices and all the different perspectives that people had for my design project. After sifting through a couple of firms I kept coming up short on finding the right one who understood my design aesthetic and could meet my budget and time frame. I was referred to Garret Cord Werner by a good friend of mine at a party and after reviewing his firm's work online, I decided to make a call and see if it was a fit. After contacting Garret, I was immediately reassured that I could have a modern and contemporary space that was actually livable and functional at the same time. Garret and his team provided expert advice and guidance when selecting the final design, sub-contractors and finishes. I can't tell you how much I appreciate my new home and would highly recommend Garret and his firm to anyone.”

“John is a very experienced designer with a lot of great ideas, and gets the job done quickly. i would recommend Jadan Design.”

“We have been working with Openspace Architecture for the past 3 years and have come to expect nothing but brilliance in their design work. It has been our pleasure to provide products of unparalleled quality for Openspace's luxury projects.”
SGDI - Sarah Gallop Design Inc.

“Sarah is a consummate professional with a keen eye and shares a unique vision for every space she approaches.”
Keith Baker Design Inc.
Vancouver Architects
1November,2014
“He has a superb sense of design and what works and doesn't. He is a "CAN-DO" kind of person, extremely professional and positive and easy to work with, a great communicator. and He works hard and gets things done!! on time and on budget in my experience. have nothing but great things to say about his work ethic and his talents.”
David Eaton Architect Inc.
Vancouver Architects
29November,2017
“We have an elegant functional home with timeless styling. It is a pleasure to live in it, thanks to the teamwork of ourselves and our Architect, David Eaton. David was professional, collaborative and fun to work with, and the results are exceptional. He put sufficient initial time and thought into the project to ensure that the home would end up fitting perfectly into its environment – a rocky and hilly 25 acres on the Carp Ridge outside Ottawa, Ontario. He listened carefully to our input, and incorporated our ideas where appropriate. A lot of time was filled with notes and sketches as the design took shape. The final result is outstanding and could not have been achieved without David’s architectural skills, both in his overall vision and his attention to detail. During construction David provided significant input and clarification both to ourselves as the prime contractors, and also directly to our subcontractors whenever needed. He got on well with the construction team. This was a two year process. It was a pleasure to work with David over the entire project; he was always available to consult on any issue, even during the final stages. We highly recommend his services.”

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Vancouver who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Vancouver, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Vancouver locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Vancouver architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire British Columbia subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.

Questions to ask prospective residential architects in Vancouver:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3-D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (The architect's personal style could interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a project manager and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Do you foresee any complications with this project?
