This sprawling bungalow with a walkout basement was the solution to a pretty interesting site. A steep slope with a very limited plateau allowed us to do a walkout basement on one side and a bridge entry design on the opposite side. This was favored to avoid excessive blasting, create an experiential entry and gain the additional square footage in the walkout level.

The Horizon House

Designed for a landscape with nowhere to hide, this home and its out-building stretches confidently accross the open land.

A modern home, but warm and inviting.

Many times contemporary and modern architecture leans into a simplistic material pallet and minimalist design which can feel very stark and cold. We like to ensure it is always inviting, warm and enables the owners to LIVE in the space. A guest should never second guess sitting in a pristine living room, instead, they should feel invited to sit back by the fireplace in the great room.

That is why our approach to "modern" design is heavily influenced by MCM (mid-century modern) design.

A cave-like approach to this beautiful cottage design in Mont-Tremblant.

As you could see in the last post, its barely visible from the road because we kept it hugging the hill and stepped down the roof lines so the view if framed perfectly - inside and out.

There's a reason "it starts with a sketch" sounds so cliché. It's because its true.

An exciting new project underway and we're taking you along with us!

Big News! JCDW is expanding ✨️

We opened our new office in Tillsonburg, Ontario, while continuing to serve clients in Barrie, Muskoka, and beyond.

These exciting changes have kept us a little quiet online lately, but we've been busier than ever!

✔️ Moving both home + office
✔️ Taking on big new projects
✔️ Wrapping up custom builds before winter
✔️ Interviewed for an upcoming podcast (more on that soon!)

We're so grateful for the continued support as JCDW grows across Ontario and beyond!

The Mustard Seed is taking root 🌿

We’ve officially broken ground on this thoughtfully designed duplex—where two homes will grow side by side, grounded in purpose and connection.

In the spirit of its name, The Mustard Seed begins as something small—with big potential. As construction begins, we’re reminded that even the smallest ideas can grow into something lasting and full of life.

Follow along as this unique project unfolds—layer by layer, from concept to community.

We’re proud to create thoughtful, detailed design work—but hearing how it impacts our clients makes it all the more rewarding.

Thank you for the kind words and trust in JCDW.

Behind every great review is a project we poured our heart into.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀

Most of my days start with a coffee in one hand and a red pen in the other—marking up sketches, refining layouts, and making sure every detail 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. Designing a home isn’t just about creating something that looks great—it’s about crafting a space that 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 for the people who will live in it.

Some days, I’m deep in 3D modeling, tweaking window placements to maximize natural light. Other days, I’m laying out material samples, thinking about how textures will play together. And let’s be honest, some of the best ideas happen at the end of a long day, staring at a drawing, realizing there’s 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬 that will make all the difference.

Swipe through for a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring custom homes to life—because great design happens long before the first shovel hits the ground.

What’s one 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 feature in your dream home? Let’s talk. ⬇️
