smpl Design Studio

Joel and SMPL team were amazing to deal with. Always responsive and around to address any questions we had. We worked with SMPL on a laneway house design, but unfortunately the construction quote costs weren't within our budget. Instead, they were able to pivot the project and deliver an amazing garage and office unit for us instead. I would highly recommend them for your next project!

We've had the opportunity to work with Joel and the team at SMPL on a couple projects. I honestly couldn't be happier with the services they provided. We have worked through renovation plans twice (home and chalet) and and a complete home re-build project once. The team is excellent at all aspects and steps along the way - from the initial meeting to discuss concepts, through the design phase and through the permit and inspection phases they certainly demonstrated that they know their stuff and are passionate about what they do. I would never embark on a project without involving the team at SMPL as our first step. Well, technically second step as the first step is determining the budget :) Thanks Joel and team!

Joel's firm is nothing but something from what you cant think is imaginable.From his creativity and work one cant stop to think how he comes up with his creations to his staff which are attentive, professional and well versed.Our company has done several projects with Joel and SMPL and we will continue to pass along him as the perfect referral and continue doing business.

Joel and the SMPL team are an absolute pleasure to work with! Not only do they have the best modern ideas and plans in the market, but they're willingness and commitment to make sure everything works out with your build is what separates them from others. Thank you very much SMPL!! Very excited for the Maple project!!

Joel and the SMPL group were referred to us by Dave Bernstein of DB Custom homes to develop detailed plans for the main floor renovation of our home. Professionally, Joel and his team have been awesome to work with from start to finish. They have always been very flexible with our timelines, developed plans and renders that suited our needs and were super creative with the floor plan. Personally, Joel is very positive, friendly and great with communication, answering texts/emails in a super prompt manner. If we ever have another project in the future we will use them most definitely again. Thanks for the great work SMPL!!!

It has been a pleasure working with SMPL. To no surprise designing and building a home can be overwhelming and stressful. It is so important that you surround yourself with the most talented professionals you can find. Joel and his team are just that! Their creativity coupled with their attention to detail are out of this world”.

We live in a house that we never dreamed of … until SMPL and Terra Nova Homes made it a reality.The best way we can describe the SMPL team:- Caring experts with the imagination and creativity to come up with gnarly designs.- Calming and supportive thru the chaos.- Responsive and dedicated.- Good humans that you will enjoy working with.

Working with SMPL was a collaborative and expanding experience for us. The owner Joel Tanner and his team of designers are kind, honest and real. Our needs were always validated in every conversation. Joel made my family feel at ease. He treated our small mid-century Reno project as if it was his highest priority at times. With beauty and appeal at the height of their focus, This company is good vibes.

We retained SMPL to design our new home. We had unique desires and Joel and Hayden hit the nail on the head. We can't wait to see their design become a reality!

Since 2019, my partner and I have worked with Joel and his team at SMPL to bring our dream home to life. They have guided us step-by-step along the way. From initial concept, through a tough permitting process, choosing our builder, and now seeing our home become a reality. We feel very lucky and proud to be working with SMPL and Ecnomus Construction Group. We can't wait to move into our forever home in 2022!
