Homes designed around the lot.

Whitewashed brick family home

We design homes around the lot, the weather and the bylaws they have to live with.

Northridge Designs is a building design studio. We plan new homes, additions, multiplexes and garden suites that suit their site and sit well on their street, along with the gardens, patios and outdoor rooms around them.

Every project is drawn clearly enough for you to picture it, your builder to price it and your municipality to review it.

How we work

What we design

Five kinds of projects, each with its own rules, budgets and possibilities.

How a design comes together

One backyard, built up in five passes. Select a step to see what it adds.

Grey massing model of a backyard with a central stepping-stone path, raised beds and a bench. The same backyard with stone paving, timber fencing and a wooden bench applied. The backyard with low shrubs and grasses planted in the beds. The backyard with trees added along the fence lines. The finished backyard at dusk with warm path and planter lighting.
