When:

Founded:

Vancouver 2002

Transplanted:

Kelowna 2011

Founded in mid 2002 in Vancouver BC, we started our independent practice with referrals from our Architect employers, professional referrals and through word of mouth.

What drove us back then was homeowners & developers on residential additions, large scale renovations and new single family homes. Over the next few years, our area of practice grew to take on smaller more complex custom work and doing large-scale subcontract work for a number of Architects across British Columbia.

Why:

Our Mission

“To turn our clients aspirations into reality through the development of architectural, construction-ready drawings based on our clients needs & budget and delivered through our expert knowledge, passion for design and commitment to the highest standards.”

Adaptive Design - Residential Design Experts

Adaptive Design exists to deliver cost-effective architectural plans & services, to exceed the minimum requirements of the building code, and to comply or exceed all regulatory requirements of the BC Building Code or Vancouver Building Bylaw.

We are not Architects; we’re not trying to sound like an architectural firm, nor do we wish to become that. We pride ourselves on providing thoughtful architectural design, development & drafting services and establishing sincere relationships with our clients and partners.

Client Testimonials

From Victoria to Winnipeg…

We work hard to bring our clients aspirations to life and in the process, create close client relationships.

Lee. D.

Homeowner

Chris was excellent in all aspects of the job. Right from the initial meeting we felt comfortable that he completely understood what we were looking to achieve. When it came time to submit drawings and deal with the city he went above and beyond and his experience made the whole process less stressful for us. Thanks Chris and Adaptive Design!

Gianni D.

Contractor

Working with Chris was a pleasure. His knowledge and experience working with the City of Vancouver was very beneficial. I look forward to working with Adaptive again in the near future.

Despina H.

Homeowner

I was very pleased with the service I received from the Adaptive Design group. The guys were very professional with their service and prompt with getting back to me when ever I had any questions. I would be more than happy to recommend Adaptive Design to friends or family.
