Step One Design offers comprehensive home and interior design services that not only meet your expectations, but your budget. Whether you're building a new home or renovating an existing home, we'll help you create a space that reflects your style and the way you live and work. We'll guide you through every step of the design process - from the planning stages to the finished product.

No project is too small and no question unimportant. We'll work together to translate your vision into a functional, beautiful space that truly meets your needs. Our home design and interior design services are available as stand-alone services, or we can create a package that incorporates both. When you choose an integrated package, you won't have to worry about delays or miscommunications between design professionals and contractors.
Services
We are a full-spectrum residential design firm that will help you uncover the potential of your new home or renovation project with inspired and informed building designs. To know your own style preference is one thing, to navigate the myriad choices involved in achieving that style is another. Let us help you uncover your style and apply it in your space.
The Victoria Residential Builders Association created the Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence CARE Awards in 1991 to recognize the west coast's creative design and craftsmanship, and celebrate excellence in the industry. CARE Awards finalists are selected by a panel of industry professionals using criteria such as architectural design, quality workmanship, creative use of space, and energy efficiency.
Build a unique home that reflects your style and provides a profound place of rest, revitalization and inspiration. Professional home design services for discerning home owners. Our award winning firm creates innovative and inspired building designs for new homes or renovation projects. Be in harmony with your environment -know your lot, your options, and maximize energy efficiency.
The first step in the process involves a visit to your home or building site. During the visit, we'll ask a lot of questions about your vision for the project and your budget. This conversation will help us develop a concept and make sure our plans address your needs. We'll also take a look at some factors that may affect your project, such as topography and sun and light exposure.
After more than 25 years in the home design industry, designer Michael Dunsmuir is familiar with every aspect of being a custom home designer. Michael is an expert at using software to create 3D CAD models and comprehensive, detailed, computerized construction plans to bring your dreams to life.

That experience, coupled with his background in manual drafting and technical drawing, has given him the ability to design projects that are innovative, attractive and functional.It's easy to make a project look great on paper; it's much more difficult to create a project that fulfills your vision, doesn't waste space, meets local zoning laws, and perhaps most importantly, doesn't exceed your budget.

Lisa came to our home on several occasions and we appreciated her ideas and professionalism. They came highly recommended to me from both clients and builders and they did not disappoint. Lisa was able to sense hesitations and rather than push she dug into the hesitation and listened to make sure that our needs were 100% addressed.

Lisa has done an amazing job in redesigning our house with our tastes in mind. She incorporated our ideas and also came up with better ones, in one case a game changer.
She also gave us different price points which was much appreciated, and was always willing to help, and was endlessly patient! She has an amazing amount of knowledge and took our house from old and dumpy to airy, bright and modern Scandinavian. I now love my house and highly recommend Lisa.
