One of our single family residential projects, Pacific Rim Residence, was recently nominated for the highly esteemed Interior Designer’s Institute of BC (IDIBC) Awards of Excellence.*
The residence underwent an integrated design process at site lines, in which the client, interior and exterior designers work together from the early stages of the project to produce the final outcome. This innovative approach offers a myriad of benefits to both the designers and the client. Among these is a seamless flow between the interior and exterior design along with unique and creative design solutions as the designers continually dialogue and bounce ideas off of each other from start to finish, gathering our clients’ input along the way.
The integrated design process is one of the tools that site lines architecture uses in order to come alongside our clients and translate what we hear into the building meant for the user, living out our motto to work smart... design well... and savour the challenge.
