About Us
It's all about you! Your dreams, your site, your budget…. that's our inspiration! It is all about creating a home that is a true reflection of you and your unique lifestyle. Every project has it's challenges, but underneath the real-life concerns of budget and bylaws lie opportunities to delight. At Kallweit Graham Architecture, it is these opportunities that we seek to discover for each and every project.
The key to good design is not an unlimited budget, nor following trends. Rather, it takes the limitations of a project and, through thoughtful design, brings out its uniqueness, and enhances the property and it's value.
Building new or renovating an existing home is exciting! We also understand that it can be an emotional undertaking and sometimes overwhelming. For over two decades we have helped hundreds of clients "find their way" through the building maze. We are careful listeners, helping people to identify and prioritize their needs. If you have questions like what is possible? what will it look like? and how much will it cost? our trademarked RenoReport can help… see our website for details www.kga.ca.
We welcome your enquiries, which can be addressed to Karen or Ross

We collaborated with Kallweit Graham Architecture on a very large renovation project in West Vancouver. What stood out for us was their overall vision for the final product and their ability to clearly conceptualize for their clients. Having originally been mentored by some of the best Architects in West Canada, their 23 years experience in the field is extensive and shows in their portfolio. If you are a client looking for an Architecture firm that is empathetic to your needs, professionally run and follows a tested and proven process of design then I would highly recommend KGA.
Sincerely,

Kallweit Graham has incredible conceptual design and brings them to reality with attention to details and material selection. The custom home builds we had the pleasure of supplying Kolbe Windows & Doors were nothing short of spectacular!

Ross and Karen do an excellent job and I give their services the highest recommendation. What I appreciate most is their creative juices and energy to make a project turn out better than imagined. As well, Ross and Karen listened to me and together we came up with a design that made our renovated house look like it was built brand new. My wife and I used KG Architects for two projects and were extremely pleased both times.

As a leading Custom Home Builder we have worked for many Architectural Firms over the years. KGA is certainly at the top of the pack in their designs, completeness of drawing packages and communication. We would highly recommend them to any builder or home owner looking for a design firm.

We are building a coach house in West Vancouver and were the first to apply. So you can imagine the issues. Shora guided us through the process and made the application simple to understand. We were given our development permit recently with no issues thanks to the understanding of the requirements and By Laws. We are now into final design and all is going well. This is the second time we have used Kallweit Graham who helped in our up dating of the main house 12 years ago, the results of which we still enjoy to the max.

Kallweit Graham Architecture exceeded all expectations when completing the architectural and interior design for our unique Dunderave home. The final result went above and beyond what we anticipated and their expertise manifested itself in the finished product. I would recommend KGA Vancouver Architects to anyone looking for superior service and quality, as well as professional execution of architectural designs.

My wife and I engaged KGA to help with the design, bidding, contract supervision and management of a whole house renovation with addition. It was a difficult project due to the extent ( ~6000 sf ), the site - steep with some significant design and engineering challenges, and some unexpected changes in the condition of the underlying structure.
They came up with a terrific design that acheived the style and feel we wanted. They were very collaborative. We had many of our own design requirements that they incorporated and significantly enhanced, Their budget was fair and they lived within it despite some considerable strains on their time due to the final building costs. The later was due to a combination of builder-issues, site factors, unexpected building conditions necessitating change including some major downgrading of the inside finishing. They have subsequently worked with us to complete some of the original unfinished featues.

Having dealt closely with Karen Kallweit and Ross Graham over the course of our project, we can absolutely recommend them as true professionals in the field of architecture. With fine point attention to every detail, and a commitment to ensuring that the vision of the home coincides with homeowner needs and wishes, they are true artists in the field. Kallweit Graham and their dedicated team are a pleasure to work with in every respect.

Kallweit Graham Architects designed our new house, their interior designer designed all the built-in features, helped with selection of all the finishes, fixtures, appliances etc. The landscape architect that worked with the firm designed a beautiful west coast, low maintainance garden. We worked very closely with the architects to achieve all of the features and conveniences that we hoped for. The result is a beautiful, functional home on three levels that has fantastic street appeal. Six years after the completion of our home, we still have cars stop and people looking admiringly at our home. We are completely happy with the experience and the expertise and care with which they did their job!
