Multigenerational Home Builders in Victoria

“After consulting with several firms, we chose Vibe Design Build to handle the restoration of our mid-century modern home in West Vancouver—and we couldn’t be happier. Their dedication to honoring the original architecture while enhancing livability stood out from the start. They carefully revived our terrazzo flooring and flawlessly connected it with newly installed heated concrete extensions. The custom walnut cabinetry they built felt tailor-made for our space, blending effortlessly with our existing décor. The real game-changer was replacing the solid back wall with full-height glass panels, which opened up stunning views of the backyard and brought in an abundance of natural light. Many visitors assume our home was restored by heritage specialists, but it was Vibe Design Build that brought this vision to life from start to finish.”

“"As a retired developer and builder I was impressed with Vineuve and their approach to building. We hired Vineuve as the Prime Contractor to undertake an extensive renovation of our oceanfront home in North Saanich. Once Vineuve started work we realized right away that we were going to enjoy the project. The teams were great communicators, very skilled tradespeople, and very pleasant to have around. They gave us full real-time access to the back end of the billing and procurement process for tracking costs and delivered a high-quality end product without any issues. I would strongly recommend Vineuve to anyone looking for a high-profile general contractor."”

“My husband and I owned a very small cabin on Camano Island for 20 years, dreaming of the day when we could tear it down and build a new, functional and beautiful home. During those years we watched a number of “Dan Nelson” homes be built, always gorgeous, architecturally interesting, high quality and perfectly suited to the property. There was no doubt who we would use when we decided we were ready for the project. A few years ago we finally began designing a new home from scratch. From the moment Dan unfurled his infamous roll of tissue paper and uncapped his preferred sharpie pen, he began designing a stunning home as we relayed what we needed this house to be, how it needed to function. That Dan is a gifted, deeply accomplished architect is undisputed. Just look at his work, talk to people who have worked with him. It speaks for itself. It’s in a league of its own. The trait that sets Dan apart is he brings an extraordinary calmness to every situation. A slight smile, and an assurance there’s a design solution at hand. There’s a character in the Twilight Saga (we had girls, I had to read along!), James. James’ vampire superpower was his ability to calm the most fraught, sometimes dangerous situations. His mere presence exuded de escalation, a sense of peace. I’m not saying Dan is a vampire. But people who have this power derive it from an assurance they have the skills to navigate, mitigate and evolve situations because they’re gifted, talented and have the breadth of experience affording them this confidence. All this to say, you cannot find a better architect. And Dan designed a house we love. The bonus was working with a calming presence, from literally tissue paper to the home we have today. I hope you get a chance to mine his vision for your own project.”
