Vancouver Island Home Design Trends

For years now people have been migrating to the Cowichan Valley from all parts of Canada to play out their retirement years. A new trend sees younger professionals seeking the mild climate and beautiful surroundings of Vancouver Island. With

technology advancing every day, more people can work from home so choosing
the wonderful lifestyle here on the Island makes a lot of sense. Technology also allows people living  anywhere in Canada  to have a home designer here in Duncan, BC design their future home in Mill Bay. The ease and speed at which 3D Drawings and Plan drawings can navigate the internet makes it easier to design a home long distance.

A strong representation from the booming economy of Alberta is also making its way West. They are snapping up waterfront properties as fast as they arrive on the market. Young workers in the oil patch are also entering the housing market here on the island as they see investing in real estate here is always going to be a safe investment.

With the influx of new people come new ideas and new products. With more significant homes being designed green technologies are being utilized. With green technologies being used the capital cost of these products are coming down so the movement towards green technology can be made available to every new home owner. This is pushing Vancouver Island home design trends in a fantastic way. As a designer I can introduce these ideas and products creating fresh new homes that will influence the building trends for a generation.
