Kind words from the clients we've had the pleasure of working with.
Elsa was a life-saver for me!! I purchased a home that was in desperate need of a facelift but wasn't sure what I could do, what I wanted or where to start. She met with me to see the space but also asked lots of questions to see how I wanted to use it best. She was always available for questions, her design concepts blew my mind and she ensured such a smooth bid process for my contractor. I don't intend on moving ever again - but would recommend Elsa to anyone in a heartbeat!

I would absolutely recommend Aware Design Studio to anyone who is looking for an architectural design firm that engages on a personal level to truly understand how you want your space to serve your family. As a designer, Elsa approaches every project with a natural curiosity and an awareness that is both refreshing and engaging. Having worked alongside Elsa for 3 years in our award-winning design/build firm, I was always impressed with how quickly clients became completely comfortable with her approach and developed a deep trust in her ability. Aware Design Studio is the new kid on the block. They collaborate, partner, engage, communicate, learn, teach and produce fantastically personal designs that serve families and communities well. Do yourself a favour and give them a call.

How do I get started?

Start your design project in three easy steps
1
Let's Talk
We begin with a conversation. Tell us about your space, your needs, and your vision. This helps us understand what matters most to you—and whether we’re the right fit for your project.
2
Site + Strategy
We visit the site, study its context, and gather key details. Then, we craft a tailored design proposal that outlines scope, timeline, and budget so you know exactly what to expect.
3
Design in Motion
Once you're ready, we move into the design phase—translating your ideas into thoughtful plans that bring beauty, function, and intention to life.

Do you have questions?

Find answers to frequently asked questions about residential design
What is accessibility-focused design?

Accessibility-focused design creates spaces that are safer, easier, and more comfortable for everyone—regardless of age, mobility, or ability. It means planning for things like barrier-free entrances, wider hallways, thoughtful layouts, and adaptable features that allow people to live independently longer and more comfortably.

What does it mean to design for aging in place?

Designing for aging in place means creating a home that can adapt to your needs over time. This might include minimizing stairs, planning for accessible bathrooms, optimizing lighting, and creating flexible spaces that can change with you as life evolves.

Is hiring a designer only for big or expensive projects?

Not at all. Design is about making the most of your space—no matter the size or budget. Thoughtful planning can actually help save money in the long run by avoiding costly mistakes or changes mid-project.

How do I know what my style is?

You don’t need to know your style before we begin. Part of our job is helping you uncover what you’re drawn to, what supports your lifestyle, and what feels like “you”—then translating that into a cohesive design.

Do you offer a free consultation?

We offer a discovery meeting to learn more about your project and see if we’re the right fit. There’s no charge for this initial conversation.

What is sustainable or Net Zero design?

Sustainable design focuses on creating spaces that are energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, and built to last. Net Zero homes go a step further: they are designed to produce as much energy as they consume over the course of a year, through strategies like better insulation, high-performance windows, energy-efficient systems, and renewable energy sources like solar panels.
