Overview
Built around the realities of your site.
Not every solution means building new. Sometimes the best move is making your existing home work harder. We design additions, second-storey expansions, and interior reconfigurations that feel like they were always part of the home — adding space, light, and function without sacrificing character.
In many Edmonton neighbourhoods, a well-executed renovation or addition is more valuable than moving. Whether you need more bedrooms, a dedicated home office, a larger kitchen, or a second storey, architectural design ensures the new space integrates seamlessly with what's already there — structurally, aesthetically, and practically.
Edmonton's permit requirements for additions are specific and consequential. A development permit is typically required for any increase in building envelope, and building permit drawings must comply with the current Alberta Building Code. We prepare permit-ready drawings and manage the City process so you can focus on the decisions that matter.
We work regularly with existing homes in mature Edmonton neighbourhoods and understand the constraints that come with older construction: varied floor joist depths, older foundation types, and non-standard framing. Our designs account for these realities upfront, reducing surprises during construction.
Who This Is For
Homeowners who love their neighbourhood or lot but need more space, better flow, or a refreshed layout. Also ideal for investors improving rental properties.

How It Works
Existing Conditions Review
We document your current home — measurements, structure, and systems — to understand what we're working with and what constraints exist.
Concept Design
We develop options for the addition or renovation — showing how space could be added or reconfigured — and review them with you to find the best direction.
Design Development
The preferred concept is developed into full architectural drawings covering all affected areas, both inside and out.
Permit & Construction Support
We prepare and submit the building permit application, coordinate with the City, and can provide ongoing support during construction.
