D3 Design

I thoroughly enjoyed working with D3 Dimension and would highly recommend them. Kristen and her team have a talent for bringing a vision to life, and making the overall process and many decisions needed much easier than expected, as well as taking the time to accompany me on shopping excursions. I loved the unique ideas and special touches she incorporated that made a big difference to the overall look and feel. Thank you thank you Kristen & D3 Dimension – I love my beautiful kitchen!

We worked with D3 Dimension Drafting and Design on a renovation for our townhouse. Kirsten and her team were very helpful with presenting some great design concepts for the remodel of our kitchen, the guest and main floor bathrooms, replacement of two fireplaces, along with new flooring throughout the house. Kirsten’s design suggestions for expanding the cabinet space and storage in the kitchen were especially useful as well as her ideas on the redesign of the fireplace in our family room. We also appreciated Kirsten taking the time to go on a shopping trip with us, as it gave us a good foundation for choosing vendors as well as her recommendations on style and materials. We enjoyed working with D3 Design and Drafting and would highly recommend them for any project.

We worked with the D3Dimension Drafting & Design team in designing our forever dream home. From the very beginning Kirsten and her team were amazing to work with. They were incredibly creative - they spent time getting to know us (our likes/dislike), shared inspiration pictures, provided options and created our dream home. Jess was incredible with her visual renderings which brought the vision to life. They went out of their way to help us navigate the building process - they are such a pleasure to work with. We get so many compliments on our main house and the awesome laneway house they designed. We cannot say enough great things about D3 - we would highly recommend them for any project.

I have worked with Kirsten for quite a few years, and she is innovative, full of knowledge in all aspects for Design. She listens to the client's needs and accommodates as much as possible. She is thorough and has been a pleasure to work with.

The process of undertaking a renovation is far more daunting than we could have known when we began our journey in 2011 starting with renovating our entire kitchen and main floor. There are so many decisions that need to be made, and every decision made impacts another choice. Early on, we learned the complexities can quickly begin to overshadow the end goal: a great space that we can enjoy. Kirsten and the entire D3 Design team helped us through the whole process, start to finish. Their professionalism, knowledge and advice were invaluable and saved us a lot of time. Kirsten listened to us, really took the time to get to know us and guided us back to our goal when we needed it, all while still respecting our vision and preferences. She was kind and particularly helpful in guiding us through the best options that would suit both our space and our lifestyle. The D3 Dimension Drafting and Design team made an arduous endeavour easier and Kirsten, in particular, was most helpful in advocating on our behalf with various suppliers, contractors and subtrades. When we embarked on our second floor renovation in 2018, we jumped at the chance to work with the D3 team again. Even with the challenges we encountered using a different general contractor, Kirsten and the team made the process bearable a second time around. We still receive so many compliments on the finished product (particularly our spa-like ensuite!) We have already recommended D3 Dimension Drafting & Design to several friends and neighbours, and we will continue to highly recommend Kirsten and her team in the future.

D3 Dimension Drafting and Design Inc were incredible in helping us design our dream home. From inspiration photos and scribbled papers, Kirsten and Jess were able to create a beautiful home with the perfect layout. The 3 dimensional renderings were an amazing tool to help us see every detail of the home. The Drawings were accurate and easy for our trades to work from. We are very happy with our experience working with D3. Thank you Kirsten and Jess for helping design our dream home!

After an amazing experience with the D3 team in 2016, we had to hire them again! This time for a tired, old 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom townhome in Whistler that slept 4. Using their masterful space planning, we were able to add an ensuite to the primary bedroom, turn one bedroom into 3 'pod' rooms for the kids and add a full extra bathroom to comfortably sleep our family 5! No more fighting over the one shower, and there's even a spare bed for an extra friend to come along. They also found a spot for a heated ski room. Voila! A cozy ski cabin for 6 on a budget in Whistler! Unheard of! As a builder I have worked with several designers over my 25 year career, but D3 is head and shoulders above the rest. They even provided super cool 3D renderings so we could adjust the spaces before construction even began. Another flawless experience from start to finish thanks to everyone at D3!

Kirsten and her fantastic staff helped me transform my run down, original condition townhouse in Kitsilano into a really cool, highly useable space that I was proud to invite friends to. Extremely clever space planners, we were able to add an ensuite bathroom to the principal bedroom by converting the closet and moving it over the stairs instead. We also added a lofted home office where there wasn't one before and by moving the dining room to a corner of the oversized living room, we created a family room off the kitchen. Wow! So my 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom purchase morphed into a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath plus home office and family room showpiece! Genius! D3 were a joy to work with: creative, easy to communicate with, quick to produce plans and all for a reasonable price. They exceeded all my expectations and I couldn't be happier with them."

Deciding to build a new home is a daunting task and even more so when you have no clue what you are doing. Enter D3 Dimension Drafting & Design. After meeting with Kirsten and her team for the first time, you get the instant relief that someone has your back throughout the entire process. Kirsten sat down with us to really understand our vision and concepts. She also really wanted to get to know us to gain a better feel for our personality - put a little bit of "us" in the build. Their excitement and energy really brought our project to life. But what really stood out was they weren't afraid to ask the difficult questions. Tell us "things weren't possible" but provided alternatives or options that turned out to be better ideas than what we were thinking. The D3 Team helped us through the very difficult City permitting process. They pivoted quickly, resolved roadblocks that the City put in front of us and always kept us updated. D3 helped in selecting a Building Contractor and provided a list that they trusted. We received a vision board, 2D/3D drawings, and a virtual design walkthrough video. Kirsten even came with us to select fixtures, finishings and paint colours on her time-off. Who else does that? The result of all their hard work, determination and service is the home we've dreamt of. The value we received far exceeded what they charged. We highly recommend Kirsten and her team. We met with many other Designers and if you asked us to do it all over again, we would select D3 every time. Thank you D3!

No question, our house was a challenge. Kirsten and D3 were tasked with recreating plans for a 105-year-old house as no blueprints existed... the greater challenge, however, was the Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the City of New Westminster. Along with heritage specialist Elana Zysblat, Kirsten helped to save another house in the Queen's Park neighbourhood. Creative and thoughtful design to maximize space inside, and conservation-sensitive exterior modifications have resulted in a house that has one of the biggest - if not the biggest floor-space ratio in New Westminster. Neighbours have commented that aside from looking sharp and clean, the house generally looks the same from the street... exactly the goal that Kirsten, Elana and the City were trying to achieve. We are very pleased with Kirsten and her enthusiastic, patient and professional approach. When the work required to complete the heritage revitalization process exceeded the original budget, Kirsten put in many extra hours and did not charge us - and offered to perform any additional services at a reduced rate. This is the way to handle the unexpected... thank you, Kirsten! I would be happy to work with her again in the future. When the exterior painting is done, I will post photos...
