## About
I have loved buildings since childhood ... the forms, shapes and spaces they create moving me from an early age. Over the years I've come to appreciate the unique soul energy of spaces and the stories they tell, crafting an approach to architectural design that strives for both depth and beauty. With over 25 years experience in architecture, my pen now makes me a fluent narrator of spacial form, the stories told in drawings rather than words. Every building speaks and holds in it a narrative about who it is, as well as the people who live in it .... every person has a story, every family has a story, every building has a story. That is the meaning behind the name Narratif. At Narratif, our hearts lie in creating truly authentic homes through close working relationships with clients we get to know well, so we specialise only in residential design. When it comes to creating space, we believe that the exterior and the interior of a building are not separable, and need to tell the same story, therefore our design involvement includes both architectural and interior design. Collaborations are selected by quality over size or value. These are boutique in nature, highly individualized and driven at the core by client we-being, lifestyle flow, and by a sharp eye for proportion and thoughtfully crafted space. What sets our group apart from the others is our vision to lead design-driven clients to a deep and transformational relationship with the soul-energy of their new spaces. It has always been our mission is to provide both creative leadership and design control as part of a healthy, balanced construction team. If this approach resonates with you and your project, we'd love to hear from you.

## Before you hire an architect
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
