    Shannon Mazzei Design & Drafting
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Kelowna
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 10, 2016
    “Shannon performed all architectural design and drawings for our new home. She provided great advice and gave us lots of ideas. Her suggestions were all very useful and we loved the fact that they were very practical but did not compensate on the design in anyway. We (the client) changed our minds on quite a few things over the months of the drawings and Shannon was very patient and met all of our needs. Shannon also provided us with a 3D model which was extremely helpful to see what each room would look like as well as the elevations on the exterior. In summary, Shannon is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, and so easy to work with. We are very pleased with our new home and so grateful to have Shannon's expertise.”

    “We had several Architects to interview but the moment Josh stepped into our home he was very personable and we knew he would be the one. He did a phenomenal job of taking the time (and much patience!) to understand our needs, professional from taking our goals in mind, creative and innovated in giving multiple design options we would not have thought of with great attention to detail. His sketches and final drawings for the work captured precisely our vision for what we wanted. We would highly recommend him to anyone.”

    “Brett is an extremely talented house designer who has a passion for functional and creative design, and high performance houses. His personal service and 3D modeling capabilities allow his clients to visualize their space early on and quickly tune designs so that even the smallest details are thought through and incorporated in high quality design drawings. This significantly reduces the risk of costly changes during the construction stage. His attention to detail and understanding of construction allows him to go above an beyond to make sure that the houses he designs achieve a high standard of energy efficiency and comfort using sound building science principles, thereby maximizing value for his clients that we didn't think was possible. Constructing a house is a significant investment and Brett's commitment to make sure your house is well above the status quo is a value proposition that has enabled us to achieve an level of efficiency we didn't think was possible, and saved us thousands of dollars in construction and future energy costs.

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 24, 2018
    “Being from Alberta and building a vacation property in Kelowna, I had no idea who to use when it came to designing my custom home. Jeremy’s services were recommended by all the top home builders so I set up a meeting to discuss my vision. Right away I knew I found my guy, I gave him an outline of what I was looking for and he came back with a design I didn’t think was even possible! His work speaks for itself.....he’s an artist, perfectionist and most importantly is patient with his clients throughout the process to ensure a great result. I’d recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for a high end one of a kind custom home design.”

Having your website and inventory of plans really helps give a starting point for our customers, and from there you deliver their personal flare. Travis and I appreciate all you do in the process of our builds. Thank you!”
    Dwell Design Studio

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2016
    “We hired Darrin at Dwell Design Studio to design our custom home. He was very good at converting our ideas into the actual house plan. Not only that but he was able to work with the topography of the lot to take full advantage of natural light, lake and valley views, and still maintain a desirable aesthetic. Even after the design was complete Darrin helped us with decisions on exterior materials and colours, light fixture styles, and various other elements to ensure the design was unified. We would highly recommend Darrin and Dwell Design Studio for any building project.”

    The architect will help you throughout the entire process, from initial concept development to managing the construction phase and ensuring everything is built according to plan. They will also collaborate with other professionals, such as builders and contractors in Kelowna, to bring your dream home to life.

    It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Kelowna residential architect you hire.
