Passive House Design
Passive House design focuses on creating homes that are incredibly energy-efficient, quiet, and comfortable, all year round. As a Certified Passive House Designer, we apply these principles to reduce energy use, improve indoor air quality, and deliver long-term value. Whether you're aiming for certification or just want a better-performing home, we’ll help you integrate smart, sustainable strategies into your project without compromising design or budget.
High-Performance Design
Our high-performance design approach goes beyond building code minimums to deliver homes that are more efficient, durable, and comfortable. While not as rigorous as Passive House certification, these designs still incorporate key principles, like better insulation, airtight construction, and smart mechanical systems to improve energy use and long-term livability.
Addition/Renovation Design
Whether you're adding more space or reworking what you have, our addition and renovation design services help modernize and improve your home without starting from scratch. We focus on functionality, flow, and energy performance — all while respecting the character of the original structure. From small upgrades to major expansions, we’ll help you design spaces that fit your current needs and future plans.
Secondary & Accessory Dwelling Units
Secondary units, garden suites, and laneway homes are smart, self-contained additions that make the most of your property. Whether you're creating space for family, generating rental income, or adding long-term value, we design compact dwellings that meet zoning requirements and blend seamlessly into existing lots — in both urban and rural settings.
Construction Consulting & Support
If you choose our Design-Only service and hire your own builder, we don't just disappear.
We offer ongoing support during construction to answer site questions and clarify details. We can act as your advocate, performing site visits to ensure your builder is executing the high-performance details correctly. This bridges the gap for clients who have a builder but want HP Home Design's quality assurance.
Drone & Aerial Photography
Our drone and aerial photography services provide clear, high-quality images and video for construction progress tracking, real estate listings, marketing, or any project requiring a bird’s-eye view. We use advanced equipment and a licensed operator to deliver precise, professional results—whether you need to document your build, showcase a property, or create compelling visual content. Our focus is on safety, clarity, and meeting your project’s unique needs with efficiency and expertise.
For clients who want to see their property or project from a new perspective, with detail and impact.
