Alter Design Studio has built a strong reputation over the past 12 years for thoughtful, livable interiors in Vancouver and the Sea to Sky corridor. They specialise in renovating heritage homes and modern condo spaces, with projects ranging from 600 sq ft micro-units to 3,500 sq ft family restorations. If you want a designer who balances bold ideas with practical needs, I’d recommend them — their work is creative but always grounded in real-life use.

They offer full-service interior design, project management, and tendering for contractors. Typical projects include kitchen overhauls using engineered quartz (Silestone and Caesarstone), bathroom renovations with water-wise fixtures, and custom millwork built by local shops. They also source lighting from brands like Tom Dixon and Flos, select sustainable flooring options such as reclaimed red oak or CorkSR, and handle window coverings, colour palettes and furniture procurement. For clients who need it, they provide 3D renderings and detailed finish schedules to keep timelines tight.

Alter Design Studio’s process is refreshingly straightforward. After an on-site consultation and measured drawings, the team creates concept boards and phased budgets, then coordinates contractors and permits. The principal designer, a registered interior designer with a diploma from the British Columbia Institute of Technology and SCID accreditation, leads a small crew of three project designers and trusted trades. They schedule weekly site meetings, share progress photos, and keep change orders transparent, so clients know exactly what to expect at each stage.

Locally minded, they work with Vancouver suppliers and donate surplus materials to Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Neighbours choose Alter Design Studio because they bring practical know-how, clear communication, and respect for both heritage detail and modern living.
