“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.”
Tatham Design Associates
Architects & Building Designers in Mayne Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 April 2017
“I hired Dan Tatham Design Associates to do a number of small project, both inside and outside my new home. I am very pleased with the results: I have a beautiful new kitchen sink/faucet with surround tile designed and installed smoothly and quickly; on the main floor a wall was designed and built to incorporate a treasured, large stained glass window, enclosing the ground floor of the house both for privacy as well as heat efficiency. The design for this wall enhances and compliments the original design work that was already in place. A laundry room was reconfigured to maximize space and create additional storage. Landscape design work has designated future patio construction, and the re-design of 2 woodsheds has maximized storage and access to winter firewood. Not only was the work done quickly and within budget, it was easy to collaborate and communicate my ideas. Tatham Designs listened to my requirements and then helped me arrive at a final design and budget. In every case, the finished projects exceeded my expectations.”

“Walter was extremely conscientious when discussing our planned addition. He would ensure that we had our "wish list" ticked off while doing the design, and then made sure all our wishes were built to the highest standards. He is very personable (and funny) and made the whole process very enjoyable. As a result, we have a stunning addition that looks and feels whole, homey, and integrated. Thanks Wally. Paul Dwyer”
Sandrin Leung Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2015
“Howard and Ana of Sandrin Leung Architecture were a joy to work with. They are young and dynamic, full of good ideas and always listened to our desires. They 'got' us right away so the plans reflected our needs and taste. They took the time to visit us in our old home before we started so they could get a feel of our tastes and talked about what we wanted in our new home. Every time we wanted a tweak here or there they responded speedily and with confidence. Their knowledge of code, solar dynamics, and space helped us build our dream home. The space they designed flows so well that the home is a pleasure to live in. I would highly recommend Sandrin Leung Architecture.”

“We’re very happy that we used Jim to design our new waterfront home in the Powell River area. From initial floor plans through to final exterior details, we relied on Jim’s professionalism and expertise to guide us through the process. He was always approachable, easy to deal with, and made sure that the focus was on our tastes and preferences. Jim has a strong and practical understanding of the construction process and his drawings are highly regarded by builders in the area. We’re very pleased with the final product and excitedly await construction to begin.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 February 2015
“We contacted Barbara after buying our home on Bowen Island in March, 2014. We saw the house, fell in love with it, and then flew back to Toronto where my husband and I were both still working. We knew what parts of the house we wanted changed and we wanted it done before we moved in August. Working with Barbara long distance was an incredible experience. All we had to go on was the memory of our 40 minute tour and the realtor's MLS video of the house. Barbara totally redesigned and rebuilt the master bedroom, ensuite bathroom, powder room, laundry room, and his and her closets. She also managed the replacement of the floors and lighting in the existing house, and found creative and practical solutions to a number of technical issues that emerged during the renovation. In short, she became our contractor, designer, and friend over the 6 months it took to complete this project. Barbara's experience and relationships with local trades people made this rebuild happen flawlessly and beautifully. It was a creative process for us and a wonderful introduction to the Island. We would unhesitatingly recommend Barbara as a gifted designer who will watch over every detail of your project and work tirelessly to make the end result everything you want.”

An architect or building designer in Mayne Island, BC can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Mayne Island, BC home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

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


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Mayne Island, BC general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Mayne Island, BC:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3D, 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? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with
  • your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
