Our Design Philosophy

At hv design, minimalism is more than just a design choice—it’s our guiding philosophy. It’s about focusing on what’s essential and removing the unnecessary. This approach guides us to the core elements of design that matter most.

Adhering to minimalism means creating designs that are lasting and purposeful. It underscores the belief that simplicity can lead to both efficiency and cost savings. In today’s world of excess, our designs offer a pause, showcasing the beauty and function of restrained choices.

Our Full Design Services

Crafting modern homes with a blend of minimalism and functionality. Our designs embrace clean lines, innovative structures, and thoughtful integration into the landscape, ensuring every space not only looks appealing but feels right.

Optimizing urban living, our laneway home designs are both compact and expansive. We take advantage of every square foot, ensuring that these smaller homes don’t skimp on modern amenities, comfort, or aesthetic appeal.

Breathing new life into existing spaces, our renovation services are about more than just updating. Whether it’s a full exterior facelift or an interior transformation, we merge the old with the new, ensuring continuity while introducing modern, minimalistic design principles.

We provide specialized design services, offering a comprehensive approach from start to finish. Our core offerings focus on contemporary home design, following a three-phased process: Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documentation. By adhering to a systematic approach, we maintain a high design standard while optimizing efficiency. Our streamlined process ensures a smooth transition from conceptual design to promptly generating construction documentation, facilitating a swift preparation for the building permit phase. We handle all consultant communication and coordination.
