HOME DESIGN

Form specializes in the design and drafting of custom home, addition + renovation plan sets

Throughout the course of a typical home design, we provide zoning bylaw review, site analysis, 3D architectural modelling, exterior elevations, space planning, and floor layouts including all relevant construction documentation and preliminary structural design

We understand that home design is personal, and we work closely with clients and builders throughout the entire design and build process, from concept to completion. Our role as a part of the design team is to ensure that we attain the aesthetics while blending functionality and structure to establish a cohesive and intentional blueprint which will allows a clients dream to become reality. We carefully consider all elements and possibilities when designing each home, including the clients personal tastes and the natural environment. Our thorough understanding of balance, proportion, and flow allows us to elaborate while satisfying each client’s individual needs. Our strong working knowledge of structure, and experience in building ensures we maximize the potential of each project.

We have developed a familiarity and knowledge base of zoning and other stipulations relevant to land use and development within the City of Campbell River and many other nearby jurisdictions. We are happy to extend our services beyond this; our portfolio showcasing projects all over British Columbia, from Ucluelet to Dawson Creek, Alberta, and far to the eastern coast in the State of Maine!
