“Fantastic design and Great people to work with!! Innovate has done a number of jobs for me. I would highly recommend them.”

“Sarah is a consummate professional with a keen eye and shares a unique vision for every space she approaches.”

“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.”

“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.”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this genius of an architect/designer. She works magic and makes it look seamless Lee truly is a creative genius and besides that, she is a ton of fun to work with as she works her magic. Seriously, Lee has incredible vision and talent; and she is efficient and pragmatic. I have done two projects with her and love them both. I can't wait to do another one with her. She's the best. I am anxious to get images of her newest projects because they are inevitably spectacular. Her sense of aesthetics is amazing. Working with Lee is addictive!”

“As a Vancouver Interior Designer, I have had opportunity to work on homes with architecture by Henry + Glegg Design and have found them to be professional and very personable to work with. I appreciate their prompt and helpful responses to any communication. Most of all, they are unfailingly enthusiastic about their projects and it's clear they truly care about making unique homes for their individual clients.”

“We worked with Hólos Architecture + Design to do the interiors and aesthetics of our new home and were very impressed with the outcome. Rushika has an excellent eye for creative design, her attention to detail is impeccable, and she brings a modern aspect in her work, all within a reasonable budget. She has been intimately involved with every phase of the process, from initial layout to choosing a color scheme, to even picking fabrics for our new sofas. Rushika has made an effort to understand our needs, and listened to our inputs to ensure every part of the home reflects our taste. What particularly makes her stand out from the other designers is that she is also an architect. She posses a deep understanding of building structures, materials, scale, lighting, etc., and integrates this knowledge into a functional design. Her talent as a Photographer is a plus point! We were able to use many of her prints in different places of our home. Her photographs are stunning and capture beautiful landmarks that she has explored through her travels. Rushika is a complete package of talent and expertise. We would highly recommend Hólos for any home project, they will meet all expectations!”

“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.”
