When we first met Steven Griffin we were frustrated and disillusioned with the other architects and designers that we previously worked with. After two disasters with other companies and many, many months wasted, we were finally introduced to Steven. From our very first meeting where we just discussed the basics of our two planned additions, Steven understood and was able to deliver a design that was beyond our dreams. We needed to add two new wings to our existing home. One side of the house was an additional bedroom and ensuite, which included an attached exterior sauna and hot tub, extending into a gazebo which was adjacent to our pool. On the other side of the house we needed complete living quarters for myself, which included a kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom. etc above a 3 car garage. All of the above mentioned had to flow with the existing house, with as little disruption to our growing family as possible. Stevens attention to what features were important to us and a “must have“ list were thoughtfully integrated and designed. Steven also considered natural light exposure, outside views and our own specific personalities in planning our living space. Needless to say, he went far, far beyond our expectations. Stevens knowledge, open mindedness and attention to the smallest detail has finally fulfilled our dream. As my daughter and son-in-law would say this will be “our forever home “. We’re close to completing our additions and are so happy and excited to see how wonderfully it has come together.


We would highly recommend Steven because all of your challenges will not only be met but will be far exceeded.
Thank you Steven,it was such a pleasure meeting you and working with you.

From the first moment I met Steve Griffin, I knew I would hire him (though I interviewed several other companies). He is open, honest, friendly and very knowledgeable. Once I provided my requirements (mandatory and desirable) for an accessible Master bedroom with ensuite he came up with concepts I would never have dreamed of, concepts that would avoid going to the committee of adjustment and options that not only met all requirements, but did so at significantly lower cost and with minimal disruption to those living here. He has literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars by thinking outside the box, and has been the critical enabler to making my house my dream home. I highly recommend Steve Griffin to anyone looking for an architect to design an addition or remodel of your home. You will not be disappointed! More...

Q&As

Creating a design brief and getting to understand exactly what it is you want to include in your home.

Most architects will not work on small renovation projects.

Being retired, I have the time necessary to fully get to know you and your vision. Let's get together and have a cup of tea, discuss your ideas, look at my design portfolio and client reviews so you can decide if you want to work with me.

I am retired this is my hobby I do this because I enjoy the design process. I only charge if its agreed that my design adds value. Free review/second opinion
This is my hobby - reviewing plans. Before I retired I supervised architecture teams and worked on major commercial projects in England, Australia and Canada. I have the necessary experience. I also enjoy reviewing and giving a second opinion on existing plans. It’s a lot less expensive to make changes on paper. All things are not without criticism and everything is improvable with work and study this is not a negative reflection of the original design but rather an example of the possibilities that exist.

Yes I can service most of southern Ontario and have a satellite office in Kelowna BC.
