This ultra-sustainable house with secondary suite has a reverse layout to enjoy incredible views of the North Shore. The main floor is home to the bedrooms and a family room opening out onto a south facing rear deck. The upper floor contains a large open-plan living area with a 12’ high cathedral ceiling, seamlessly opening out onto a large upper view deck.Designed for a lovely, forward thinking couple that want a modern and flexible home. #nickbrayarchitecture @vettabuilding @siga_north_america #architecture #architects #architecturevancouver #sustainableliving #sustainabledesign #architectsvancouver #sustainablehousing

Loving the Journey from Structural requirement, to Architectural idea, to Interior Design detail, to a creative Contractor making it a reality. @miskimmineng - @nick_bray_architecture - @designsby_ks - @forte_projects; #projectmintvan

They say practice makes perfect and that’s definitely the case with Aaron’s rendering skills, he’s smashing the rendering of this project! A 65,000sf office over retail complex, we are moving towards the planning submission phase. Stay tuned! #nickbrayarchitecture #architecture #architecturedesign #architectrendering #architects #aaronissmashingit

Building a new front will always add a modern boost! We are adding a 2 storey 2500 square-foot addition to this warehouse, giving it a beautiful; light infused front entrance with greenery walls. #nickbrayarchitecture #architecture #commercialarchitecture #architects #commercialarchitect #buildingfacelift #commercialspace #eastvan #eastvancouver @miskimmineng #miskimmineng

Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on charities' ability to fund much needed community programs to support people in our communities who need support the most. Charitable fundraisers like Drop Zone are more important than ever to raise awareness and desperately needed funds. On September 15th, I will be rappelling down 25 storeys of the Central City Office Tower in Drop Zone Surrey to raise much needed funds to support children, youth and adults with diverse abilities across BC and Yukon. With your support, Easter Seals will be able to continue to provide essential programs and services that help all people with diverse abilities address life's challenges and gives them the tools to build their self-esteem, self-confidence and sense of independence. This is especially important and meaningful in today’s environment. Click on the link in the comments to donate!

Excited to be working with an owner with a vision! This new-build in Burnaby is approx. 3,000sf primary residence with a secondary suite and separate garage at the rear of the property. A modern, efficient use of space yet an unique build! #nickbrayarchitecture #architecture #architecturedesign #architecturelovers #modernbuild #modernarchitecture #modernarchitect #burnaby #burnabybc #burnabyarchitecture #miskimmineng #designsby_ks @designsby_ks @miskimmineng #miskimmineng

Officially our fourth project in Langford! Brand new build with 24 apartments, all of which will be two bedroom units. It’s exciting to be a part of Langford’s amazing growth!#nickbrayarchitecture #architecture #langford #islandarchitecture #architecturelovers #architects #newbuilds #newbuildsofinstagram

Setting the precedent for future developments and being the first of its type in a rezoned street, this project is a 6 storey, 32 unit strata apartment building in Langford. Langford is rapidly growing into THE place to live and we are excited to be a part of it! #architecture #nickbrayarchitecture #langford #architecturelangford #architecturevancouverisland #architecturedesign #vancouverisland #villavirtuosa #findyourhavn #architecturebc #harmonysenseinteriors @harmonysenseinteriors

Modular construction is a process in which a building is constructed off-site, under controlled plant conditions, using the same materials and designing to the same codes and standards as conventionally built facilities – but in about half the time. Buildings are produced in “modules” that when put together on site, reflect the identical design intent and specifications of the most sophisticated site-built facility – without compromise. Designed for a staff facility for the port workers at Deltaport, this is modular building for Global Container Terminals at it’s finest. These 5 modules were brought in and installed creating a unique concept to an industrial site.#deltaport #architecture #nickbrayarchitecture #commercialdesign #commercialarchitecture #modularconstruction #builtonsite #stilhavn #commercial

Bigger might be better but size can be hard to judge! Trying to visualize the scale of this enormous building during design stage took some time and we still find it difficult to judge how long it takes to walk from one end to the other when you’re there. #raincitycorporation #architecture #nickbrayarchitecture #warehouse #commercial #commercialdesign #industrialdesign #industrialarchitecture #commercialconstruction #commercialarchitecture
