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!
Elsa is incredible--her attention to detail is impeccable and she is so creative. She presented us with 3 amazing ideas for both rooms we were renovating, and all 3 were so beautiful it was a hard decision! She is a dream to work with, extremely organized, and so well connected in terms of vendors and resources. Couldn't be happier!
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.

Do you have questions?
We offer flexible, à la carte services—from early planning and renderings to full construction drawings. During our discovery call, we’ll help determine what level of support fits best.
An architectural designer creates the overall layout, flow, and feel of a space—making sure it functions well, looks beautiful, and meets all code and building requirements. We translate ideas into clear plans that builders and trades can follow with confidence.
Yes, if your project requires a permit, we’ll develop and submit the necessary code-compliant drawings to your municipality.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity and scope of your project. After our discovery meeting, we’ll provide a clear estimate as part of your proposal.
A good designer ensures that the space not only meets technical needs, but also supports how you live day to day. We plan for flow, proportion, light, and comfort—details that are often overlooked when design isn’t part of the process from the start.
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.
