Step One Design
Architects & Building Designers in Mill Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 November 2012
“Having built two homes before, we were impressed with what Step One Design had to offer and commissioned Mike to draw up the plans for our current home. Mike arranged to meet with us at our lot, listened to our ideas and offered feedback and suggestions to come up with a plan that fit us perfectly based on our wants and needs. He was accessible, easy to communicate with and provided the plans on schedule. Step one Design brought together our vision while paying attention to practicality, finances and the aesthetics of the home. We were extremely happy with Mike’s work, would use his professional expertise again and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.”
FISH HOUSE design+architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Mill Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 August 2015
“Fish House Designs worked closely with us to design an extensive renovation to the 900 square foot main floor of our house on Quadra Island. Pamela Goijberg of Fish House listened to our initial ideas, added a number of additional suggestions, and then incorporated our preferences into a beautiful and functional floor plan. Throughout our collaboration with her, Pamela was thoughtful and very accommodating, and had a cheerful disposition at all times, making our planning with her both productive and enjoyable.”

“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.

PDDA Ltd.
Architects & Building Designers in Mill Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 October 2020
“Minh Ta was introduced to us by our builder to help design out family home in Kitsilano Vancouver. We were using another architect for our previous home builds but was recommended Minh because he had extensive knowledge in home design and architecture for new Vancouver home builds. As you may or may not know, the building codes in Vancouver unique, difficult to understand and interpret into real life designs without incurring subjective review of the City of Vancouver. Rules are ever changing in Vancouver and having a competent and experienced architect is key to successfully submitting and passing a set of plans for your dream home in an efficiently timed manner. Our application process to final acceptance was almost exactly four months which had blown away previous estimates of year to year and half (advised to us by other friends who had build recently). The reason for this quick turnaround was due to Minhès knowledge and ability to create our dreams in a passable set of plans under the current building codes of the times. Minh is highly informative, helpful, a great listener and I would recommend him to anyone hoping to build their dream home.”
One SEED Architecture + Interiors

Frits de Vries Architect Ltd.
Architects & Building Designers in Mill Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 October 2014
“Working with the Frits de Vries firm has been an incredible process. Although my husband and I were new to building a house, they showed amazing patience and respect, being mindful of our budget, keeping us on track, always erring on the side of functionality when needed, and incorporated our personal wishes into a gorgeous design that has culminated in a truly stunning house that feels easy and comfortable to be in. They are connected to excellent builders and have overseen the construction of the house with great dedication and care. What is often a tense and stressful process was mostly mitigated due to their experience and calm demeanours, and I can happily say that it's been a lot of fun working with them.”
Lanefab Design/Build
Architects & Building Designers in Mill Bay.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars21 January 2013
“Lanefab provides excellent service to their customers and is a pleasure to work with as a professional. We work with them on a routine basis collaboratively on design and install. Their modern take on laneway homes and eco footprint makes them an invaluable resource in a city that is quickly densifying.”
Premium Urban Design
Architects & Building Designers in Mill Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 October 2014
“Mike at Premium was a tremendous help in the complete renovation and remodelling of several properties in Victoria. His expertise and knowledge of both the design and construction of a complex project like these helped make them all successful. There were many design decisions that were needed to maximize the usability of the space, as we transferred many of the properties into highly desirable rental suites. Our tenants loved the final designs. Mike's expertise about the the full project scope (design, permits, construction, market) prevented us from making costly mistakes, while also enhancing the properties in their completed state. We will continue to work with Mike, and can't recommend him enough. The projects that we completed with Mike yielded properties that were instantly rented to long term tenants.”

An architect or building designer in Mill Bay, 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 Mill Bay, 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 Mill Bay, 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 Mill Bay, 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?
