About us

 
 

nelson.skinner is a design firm that focuses on custom home design:

interiors, renovations, new-builds and landscaping.

Jenny and Kelli love to help people love their homes.

With a combined 40 years of experience in the field of residential design and construction, we have helped to provide many families with living spaces that bring them well-being, joy and comfort. We believe in the advantages created by designing carefully considered homes, customized to the needs of the client, while also placing value on quality and sustainability.

As a team, we share some very important common goals:

  • Listen first. Understanding our clients mandate, both the lofty desires and real-life restrictions, is critical to enable project-specific design.

  • Provide a streamlined and transparent process of design that includes input and participation from our clients.

  • Observe and implement all the applicable bylaws, building codes and latest construction practices, including the BC Energy Step Code to ensure high standards of efficient design.

  • Create simple, beautiful and highly-functional living spaces.

While most of our work is in North Vancouver, we have projects spread across the lower mainland, the sunshine coast and Whistler.
