FISH HOUSE design+architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Comox.
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.”

“Dan Boot as a designer is asked to solve specific problems. Understanding that the requirements presented by the client may sometimes be vague, Dan is able to work with them to come to a conclusion that the client is comfortable with and represents the goal that the client was seeking when they engaged the services of StudioDB3. Dan analyzes the information by determining the key elements of the requirements, the relationships between them and how to combine them into a solution to present to his clients for consideration. He is able to conceptualize client’s desires through sketches, drawings and models so that his clients can visualize the process from start to finish to gain a unique understanding of what the end result can and will be. His clients can then determine whether it meets their expectations, that prior to the process that Dan engages them in, were just ideas and dreams. StudioDB3 is able to then move the process through all the intricate steps required from start to finish, including the required engineering and approval process, construction and final occupancy. Dan Boot is an excellent communicator and combined with his professionalism and confidence and his ability to communicate these to his clients, provide them with peace of mind, knowing their project is in good hands. Working with StudioDB3 adds value to the project, since conception, up to and including occupancy, can be dealt with through one office that has the experience, ability and energy to see the project through to completion. Forty years of being involved in the design and construction industry, mainly in British Columbia, but as well as in Alberta, Hong Kong, Mexico and Hawaii, combined with Dan’s unique and artistic flair bring elements to the table that can alleviate anxieties of even the most discerning clients. Dan’s integrity, honesty, passion and professionalism make the engagement of StudioDB3 for your building project an excellent choice, since they are not only able to visualize their client’s needs and wants but they are able make their project real.”

“John has a unique ability to combine intricate elements of aesthetics, functional layout, resilience, and purpose into a progressive design package with minimal environmental impact both in construction and ongoing habitation. His designs are both mindful of the future and accommodating to his customers' desires and lifestyle requirements. Such a complicated balance of considerations is not easy to achieve and John seems to do it time and time again.

“Rod was recommended to me by my contractor and I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Rod was very easy to work with and directed my ideas and visions for my house to a workable design. My house is beautiful! Anyone who comes to see my house always asks who the house designer was. I would highly recommend Kervin Home Design.”

“I have worked with Maris on numerous jobs, both large and small. He is always considerate and willing to fit my jobs into his schedule.

“Kris was referred to me by a friend who just completed a house rental. I was looking for a professional to come in and redesign my kitchen and dining space. With Kris, I found great professionalism, knowledgeable with experience and a great personality! We talked for about 30 minutes then I left her to do her magic. Within a week (wow), she had called me to tell me she was ready to review the work with me. I was so happy with the outcome of the design and can’t wait to turn the concept into a reality. Thank you Kris for all your hard work and time! She has my stamp of approval”

“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.”

“Glenn has been most accommodating and helpful in designing our home - listening carefully to our "needs and musts" list and incorporating as much of our "nice to have" list as possible. With our budget firmly in mind, Glenn has created a design that captures our vision; he also provided a spreadsheet for us to keep track of spending. We can't wait to get started! Thanks, Glenn!”

An architect or building designer in Comox, 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 Comox, 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 Comox, 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 Comox, 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?
