Testimonial
‘Brian was great to work with. His vision resulted in surpassing our vision of our ideal family home. We live on a lake, and who, other than Brian, would ever have thought to put our family room fireplace and entertainment center in a lighthouse, which has now become the signature feature of our home. Our home has literally become an eye-stopper as people drive by and I want to invite everyone inside to marvel at lighthouse and the rest of the home. In the end we have our perfect family home that is practical and beautiful all in one. Thank you Brian! Now we are having Brian design a home for us on our property with a grass airstrip. Can’t wait to see his ideas on that one.’

Hi, I’m Brian.
I’ve been working in architecture for over 20 years. I’ve worked for 2 architectural firms in the Ottawa area designing, detailing and managing projects of all kinds, sizes and shapes.
Some of those included a straw bale home, A Cross lamiated timber custom home, apartment buildings, Churches, laboratories, heritage buildings and part of the parliamentary precinct.
But through my career, I fell in love with residential design.
I believe in working with our clients to find the best solution for their home and guiding them through the whole process from design through construction.
Thanks, I look forward to working with you.
